What
is an intensive course?
-
An
intensive course can be anything you want it to be. Many
people decide that, due to financial reasons, they only
want one hour-long lesson per week. This is fine, but often
you end up needing more lessons because you spend at least
10 minutes every lesson readjusting to the car and remembering
everything so you are not getting the full benefit of your
one hour.
-
It
is because of this that some people like to compress their
lessons into a shorter period of time. That way, not only
are they learning to drive more quickly, but it is much
more time and money effective.
-
The
average learner will need 35-40 hours of lessons, if not
more so it is important to keep costs as low as possible.
By doing an intensive course, you are less likely to need
extra lessons, thereby saving yourself money.
Two
examples of what you might do are as follows:
-
If,
for whatever reason, you want to pass your test in a space
of 10 weeks, then you will require 3 or 4 hours of tuition
per week. This can be done in one hour slots, but it is
often more effective to have two 2-hour lessons.
-
In
some cases, people need to learn to drive in a very short
space of time, perhaps because they are starting a new
job. It is therefore possible to take your driving course
over 1 or 2 weeks. This can be a tiring experience,
because you could be having up to seven hours of
tuition each day, however it is a very effective way
of learning as there is no time to forget what you have
learnt! To do one of these very intensive courses, we
do recommend that you have had at least 5 hours driving
experience just so you know the basics. We also recommend
that you plan it well in advance, as you will
need to have taken
your theory test and booked your practical test before
you can start it.
To
sum up...
