You can take weekly lessons but you can't book a course
No one in the UK is entitled to book a Practical Driving Test until they pass
the Theory
Test so because of this rule we are unable to book an intensive driving course for you until you have passed as
all our courses have a Practical Test after the last lesson. It is advisable to start taking pre course weekly lessons up until you have passed the Theory Test as this will result in you requiring a shorter course and your instructor will be able to advise you on study materials and the length of course you will require.
Once you have passed we will book your driving test and arrange your timetable also accommodation if required.
Your flexible timetable
Your timetable is normally set at 4 hours per day ie 2 X 2 hour sessions with a break in between but you can choose to have your timetable arranged to suit your own personal requirements. This would be subject to availability. We work 7 days and we will do our best to arrange any special request you may have. We will always try to arrange your timetable at the times that suit you best. (top)

Shortest route to your UK licence
Intensive
or crash courses are the quickest and most successful way to
learn to drive. We continually hear people complaining that weekly lessons are taking forever and they would like to get it over and done with in as short a time as possible.The purpose of our intensive courses is to provide a solution for this common complaint. As a result of continued demand we have extended our range of courses to provide a wider selection.
One of the many advantages of an intensive driving
course is that you will learn to drive over a much shorter period of time and there is less chance of forgetting what you have learned. Your progress will be more sustained as you are behind the wheel for ALL the time you pay for unlike shared tuition when you only get HALF the hours you pay for, you will learn faster with more "hands on" experience.
You will have the undivided attention of your own personal instructor on a 1 to 1 basis for the duration of your course and if you reach the required safety standard you will be allowed to go for your test in the car you have been learning in. You do not have to be perfect to sit a driving test but you must be SAFE. (top)
Shared tuition ...WARNING! (back to course prices)
Beware of courses offering shared tuition as you will only be behind the wheel for HALF the number of hours advertised and the other HALF watching someone else so you are effectively paying DOUBLE the price. In other words you are not only paying for your time behind the wheel but also for the time when you are NOT behind the wheel. It is claimed you will learn more by this method and there may be some small benefit from watching someone else but not for hour after hour and the price you are asked to pay.
It is no small wonder that the driving schools using this method of teaching can offer so many "freebies" such as "free" tuition if you fail, payment towards your transport costs, "free" test if you fail, "free" accommodation, "guarantee" this and that and so the list goes on.
These offers cost lots of cash so the driving school must make lots of cash to sustain such offers and the only way they can afford all these "freebies" is to charge you for them in advance through "SHARED TUITION". Make no mistake, if it wasn't for your inflated contribution there would be no "freebies".
They would have you believe you will qualify for some or all of these offers free of charge. Their methods are designed to attract customers by making you think you are getting something for nothing.....do you really believe this??? My view is that you get nothing for nothing in this world and for the sake of your finances I hope you share this view.
There is no substitute for 1 to 1 "hands on" experience and the bottom line is.... the only way you will pass your test is by taking a course that matches your ability and have the undivided attention of you own qualified instructor. With 1 to 1 tuition you are the only one behind the wheel and you will not have to share the time you have paid for with someone else which is not only extremely beneficial but value for money. There are lots of examples too numerous to mention of people requiring their own private tutor and driving instruction is no exception.
You pay your money and you make your choice....if it was me I know the choice I would make. BE WARNED! (top)
Length of course
When you are trying to decide on the length
of the course you would require, please bear in mind
the more tuition you receive, the better driver you will
become. All our tuition is "one to one" and follows the officially
recommended syllabus for learning to drive laid down by the
Driving Standards Agency.
It is vital when you make your booking you select the correct length of course because if you can't control the vehicle without verbal or physical assistance from your instructor by the time you reach the end of your course then you are obviously not up to the required safety standard and you would not be allowed to use your instructor's car on test.(8) If you feel after you have started driving that your course is too short you can ask your instructor for extra "top up" lessons. This will be subject to availability. (top)
Trial assessment lesson
If you are considering an intensive course and are unsure of the length of course you will require we would recommend you book a trial assessment lesson first and you will receive professional advice and guidance on the length of course applicable to your ability. This will not guarantee you will pass but will ensure you are close to your requirements and you have the option to add a further day if you wish just to make sure. If it is not possible to take a trial lesson the guidance below will help you decide which group you are in. (top)
We will meet you at...
Dundee railway station, Dundee Seagate bus station, the Grampian hotel accommodation or your own private address in and around Dundee, Perth and Arbroath. We will also pick you up at any location you request subject to prohibitive distance, extremes of weather and local road and traffic conditions. (top) |
