Fast-Track to Your Driving Licence with Bristol & Bath Intensive Courses
Our 5 and 7 Day Intensive Driving Courses typically run Monday to Friday. For 7-day bookings, two additional days are scheduled for your practical test and final preparation.
Each training day starts with a “reflective period” during which you and your instructor agree on key objectives and responsibilities. All driving tuition is delivered on a 1:1 basis – no car sharing – and tailored to your progress.
Once your theory test is passed, our team will assist in applying for your practical test using the DVSA’s Business Booking Service. We do not rely on third-party websites and ensure your instructor and vehicle are available for your confirmed test date.
Due to current DVSA waiting lists, your practical test will not take place at the end of the course. However, where available and if you are deemed safe and test-ready, we will prioritise fast-tracking your first test and provide use of the car at no additional cost.
Why Wait Months to Pass?
Most learners take weekly lessons over many months — but we believe there’s a better way. Our intensive driving courses are designed to cover the essential skills and knowledge efficiently, helping you progress faster without compromising quality.
Our DVSA-approved instructors are highly experienced in delivering structured, focused training to suit your learning pace — giving you the best chance of success.
Please note: A £75 DVSA practical test fee will be payable once you’ve passed your theory test, unless it’s already included in your chosen course package. The use of the training car for your first test is provided free of charge.
We have a fantastic team of Approved Driving instructors who specialise in providing intensive courses. Both male and female instructors are available, all of which, use modern, reliable vehicles.
If you take weekly lessons it could take you well over a year to pass your driving test if not longer.
No – we’ve never claimed to offer instant driving tests. DVSA waiting times can be as long as 18 months in some areas, and no company can guarantee an immediate slot.
However, our experienced team checks the DVSA system regularly and, in most cases, we can find a cancellation test sooner than the standard waiting list — often faster than learners can find themselves. While we can’t promise exact dates, we will always do our best to secure you an earlier test once you’re ready.
Our 5-day course is ideal for learners with some prior experience who want to fast-track their progress. It’s intensive and focused, helping many pupils get test-ready quickly — though some may still need additional lessons afterward depending on their individual progress.
Our 7-day course is designed especially for new drivers or those with little experience. It allows more time behind the wheel and builds skills more gradually across the week. While some learners do reach test standard in this time, others may benefit from continued practice or follow-up lessons before taking their driving test.
In both cases, the goal is to give you the best possible start — boosting your driving ability and confidence with focused 1:1 tuition. Everyone learns differently, but by the end of your course, you’ll have made significant progress and have a clear path toward passing.
While it’s impossible for any provider to promise a test pass, what we can guarantee is that by the end of your course, you’ll be a noticeably more confident, safer, and more capable driver than when you began.
Our Intensive Courses are a powerful way to quickly gain driving experience and boost your confidence behind the wheel. With focused, one-to-one tuition, you’ll develop control and road awareness in a matter of days – progress that would typically take months with weekly lessons.
Not at all. You now know how to drive! Our advice will always be to keep practicing with mum or dad or a friend until your driving test, and keep building on the skills you have been taught, it is a lifetime skill.
You can request to reschedule your course as long as it’s more than four weeks before your original start date. This is because we contract a private driving instructor specifically for your course, and we are committed to providing them with notice.
In rare cases, we may need to reschedule your course due to operational reasons or instructor availability. If that happens, we will give you as much notice as possible and offer suitable alternative dates. We always aim to minimise disruption and ensure your course is delivered promptly and professionally.
Once confirmed, courses are guaranteed to go ahead unless affected by circumstances beyond our control.
Driving tests are managed and released by the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency), not by us or any driving school. Test availability depends on when and where the DVSA release appointments — we have no control over this and cannot guarantee a test slot at the end of your course.
However, we understand that fast progress is important. Our team actively checks the DVSA system and works hard to find you an earlier test date — often significantly quicker than the standard waiting times. If you’re flexible on location and willing to travel, we can usually find a test even sooner.
Our goal is to match you with a test date as quickly as possible, once you’re at the required standard and a car and instructor are available.
You absolutely you can, but our contract is with the student regardless of who pays for the course so to be able to discuss the personal details of the course and the students’ progress or any issues simply, have the course student contact us in writing to give us permission to talk with you. Please understand that anyone could be claiming to be the parent or partner of the student and privacy is very important to us so we must go through security protocols and ask for the booking reference number amongst other individual ID’s
If you’re unsuccessful on your driving test, you have two options:
Take advantage of our free corrective training (subject to availability and discretion). We’ll focus on the areas that caused the fail and help you prepare for a retest when both you and your instructor feel you’re ready.
Book a new driving test immediately and continue preparing independently or with additional lessons if you wish.
Please note: You can choose one of these options, but not both at the same time.
