Intensive Driving Courses in Somerset: Learn Fast with Drive It
Learning to drive is an exciting step, but weekly lessons do not suit everyone. If you have a busy schedule, a test coming up, or you simply want to build momentum quickly, an intensive driving course can help you make faster progress without long gaps between lessons.
At Drive It School of Motoring, our intensive driving courses in Somerset are designed around you. Whether you are a complete beginner, have some driving experience, or need a confidence boost before your test, we will help you choose the right course and prepare properly for safe, independent driving.
What is an intensive driving course?
An intensive driving course, sometimes called a crash course, gives you focused driving tuition over a shorter period of time. Instead of spreading lessons over several months, you complete a block of training over days or weeks.
This style of learning can be especially helpful because you stay in the driving mindset. Skills feel fresher, your confidence builds more consistently, and your instructor can keep developing each lesson from the last one.
Who are intensive driving courses best for?
Intensive courses are a great option if you:
* Want to pass your driving test quickly
* Have already passed your theory test
* Need lessons to fit around work, college, family, or other commitments
* Have previous driving experience and want to become test-ready
* Have recently failed a test and want focused support before a retake
* Prefer regular, concentrated learning instead of weekly lessons
They can work for both manual and automatic learners, depending on availability and the course that suits your needs.
Which intensive driving course should I choose?
Every learner starts in a different place, so the right number of hours depends on your experience, confidence, and current driving ability.
10-hour intensive course
A 10-hour course is usually best for learners who are nearly test-ready. It can be a good choice if you need a final polish, extra confidence, or focused support after a recent test attempt.
20-hour intensive course
A 20-hour course is suited to learners with some experience who want to improve quickly and prepare for their practical test. It gives you time to strengthen key skills, work on test routes, and build consistency.
40-hour intensive course
A 40-hour course is often the better option for beginners or learners with limited experience. It gives you a fuller programme of training, helping you build your driving ability from the ground up.
If you are not sure which course is right for you, Drive It can help you decide based on your current level and goals. Read more about our courses here.
How quickly can I pass with an intensive course?
Many learners complete intensive driving courses within 1 to 2 weeks, depending on their starting ability, availability, and test readiness. If you have already passed your theory test, it may be possible to move through your training more quickly.
Your practical test timing will always depend on your progress and local test availability. The aim is not just to get you to test day quickly, but to make sure you are prepared, confident, and safe on the road.

Getting ready for your intensive driving course

* Make sure your provisional licence is ready
* Be honest about your current experience level
