Many Driving Schools offer intensive driving courses or "crash courses" as they're often known. Some driving schools specialise and only offer crash courses. Most crash courses don't come cheap.
There are a number of reasons why you might want to do a crash course in driving. If you need to pass your driving test quickly, for instance because of work, or the need to fit it into college holidays then this is ideal. However there can be difficulties. It's not a short cut to passing your test. To pass your driving test is hard work and crash course driving lessons are ... yes.. intensive! After the first couple of hours you might feel you can't take in any more. Well you will need to if you're going to pass the driving test at the end of the week..!

If there are things you are not sure about in connection with the course you are looking at, here are some questions you should ask
Not all Intensive Driving Courses last all day, every day for a whole week. Some Driving Schools offer one day or three day courses for people who are almost ready for their test. Alternatively you can do courses that are spread over several weeks. Another option available is residential driving courses, where accommodation is included in the course. Such courses are often run by driving schools in major cities like London or holiday areas such as Blackpool.
Some driving crash course advertisements may offer a "guaranteed pass" or "free re-test". Check out the small print of such offers. Of course no one can actually guarantee you will pass your driving test. You will only pass if your driving is good enough on the day!
What is the cheapest crash course?
The answer really depends on the number of hours tuition you get. Make sure you ask your intensive course provider all the relevant questions. Remember a driving crash course is not a short cut. Check out our directory for cheap crash courses.
