Intensive Courses
In 1991, we introduced intensive courses (also known as fast track or crash courses as some driving schools ominously call them!) for the first time in Colchester. An option we continue to offer, with increasing demand today.
Paul has been delivering our intensive courses since 1997. He covers Colchester, Clacton and some surrounding areas. Contact us to see if we cover your area.
The courses take place on weekdays during the daytime. A normal days training includes 5 hours or driving tuition spread over 5.5 hours to allow for two breaks.
Everyone is different so we always insist you take a 2 hour pre-course assessment to allow Paul to decide the most suitable course for you.
