What is a semi-intensive course?
Our semi-intensive courses are designed to get you a license in 8 or 9 weeks from absolute beginner. We prefer these over week-long intensive courses as they allow for private practice, reflection and importantly rest between sessions.
Course length is tailored to suit the individual so if you have some previous experience, we can discuss this and tailor a course to suit you.
An average beginner will usually need a 40 or 45 hour course if they have the means to practice privately outside of lessons.
A semi-intensive course isn’t the answer for everyone. As the name would suggest, they can be intense and require the ability to concentrate for long periods. .

What is a semi-intensive course?
We understand that our students have busy lives, which is why we offer our semi-intensive courses on weekends.
This also helps our instructors keep a healthy work/life balance allowing them to not commit to weekends all year round.
Unfortunately we don’t offer regular lessons on weekends.
Lessons

Private Practice
Semi-intensive lessons are 5 hours and include a break of around 30 minutes. This can and will be tailored to suit the individual learner.
Lessons are structured and are client-centred to ensure learners get the most out of every session. We follow the same curriculum as our regular lessons however, the longer sessions allow us to have a broader practice area.
We would normally start lessons at 8am and finish around 13:30. We are however always happy to discuss alternative timings to suit the learner.
Private Practice
Private Practice
Practicing what you have learnt in your own car outside of lessons is very much encouraged.
This gives learners much needed confidence and helps keep their skills and awareness fresh.
Help and advice on private practice is always available free of charge from your instructor.
Course Requirements
Valid provisional license
Theory Test Pass - whilst not essential, this is very much preferred.
Full course fee paid in advance
Excellent concentration ability
A positive can-do attitude
Excellent Pass Rates
Over 90% of our learners completing semi-intensive courses pass first time. For context, around 50% of learners nationally pass first time.
We believe this is in part due to our comprehensive training structure, ensuring all bases are covered, and learners get help with test nerves. This coupled with a learner who can stay focused for a 5 hour session means the 40 minute test is a breeze.
