Intensive Driving Lessons Newbury


Intensive driving lessons in the Newbury area may be just what you’re looking for. Some people don’t want to spend months of their time taking one hour driving lessons per week. Therefore an intensive course may be the right thing for you.

We offer intensive and semi intensive courses. However that doesn’t mean that you will be treated like you’re in the army with a sergeant major for an instructor. Our lessons are still just as friendly and relaxed as always, quickly settling your nerves and putting your mind at ease. Our instruction simply keeps pace with the amount of instruction necessary to master the controls and the skills necessary to pass your driving test and more importantly make you a better driver.

Intensive courses are not suited to all people which is why we offer a two hour assessment lesson. This allows your instructor to see firstly if you are suited to an intensive course and secondly roughly how many hours they think you will need to handle this demanding course.

We offer 10, 20, 30 and 40 hour courses. Each course will be suited and tailored to the individual as each pupil may already have some experience or greater road sense than others. Lessons are conducted in 2 hour blocks, so if you were taking 4 hours of lessons in one day then you would have 2 lots of 2 hour lessons with a break in between.

It is important that you pass your theory test before you start intensive courses as our courses are normally over one to two weeks with your test already booked.
