4 Day Crash-Course Driving Test - 20 Hours of Driving Lessons
This course is ideal final preparation before a test if you are not a complete beginner or if you would like some intensive practise across a range of topics prior to your driving test.
We have a questionnaire to help you assess how many hours of training you might need prior to taking your test, based on your experience and confidence behind the wheel. You take the questionnaire by clicking HERE.
You can choose to do your training in 4 full days immediately prior to your driving test, or to use it as a series of 2-hour blocks for deeper driving experience in the weeks leading up to your driving test. If you have not passed the theory test we have packages that include the theory test fee and the study material for it.
If you have already passed your theory test then we will book your driving test for you. The driving test will be booked for a date and time that is convenient for you and your instructor. Test waiting times range from 1 week to 12 weeks and sometimes longer depending upon your area and whether it’s a busy or quiet period.
Please phone 0800 0838 435 for information on test waiting times in your area.
Sample Driving Lessons
Take a look at some of the sample lessons on our YouTube page. Watching the sample lessons helps you to learn the theory before getting into the car and then you’ll have more time with the instructor practising each topic rather than talking about it.
