Common Questions About Intensive Courses
Is an intensive course right for a complete beginner?
Yes, many beginners choose full driving courses. We’ll adjust the hours based on your current level and pace of learning. Some may need 30+ hours, while others can succeed in 20.
Do I need to pass my theory test first?
We recommend having passed your theory test before starting an intensive course. It’s possible to book both in parallel, but the practical test can only be scheduled once you’ve passed theory.
Where will I take my test?
We operate with local test centres in Gosforth and Newcastle. You’ll practise on similar routes so you feel prepared on the day.
