Intensive driving courses Perth

Intensive driving courses in Perth are held on a regular basis all the year round. Learn to drive in 1 week courses are available as well as 2 week courses & day courses of up to five hours with a break for lunch.

Driving tests are conducted at the Perth driving test centre & your intensive driving course will include driving on both rural & town roads within the Perth area. Residential intensive driving courses are available & hotel accommodation is usually plentiful within Perth or surrounding areas. The cost of hotel accommodation is separate from your intensive driving course costs & should be paid direct to the hotel. I will advise when you book your course which hotels are within easy reach of the learner driver training area.

Learner drivers who live just outside of Perth & do not wish to stay in a hotel can easily Travel via bus or train. For these students I usually meet at Perth railway station.

Intensive driving courses Perth - 1 week course

The Perth one week intensive driving courses are designed with the new driver in mind, you can either have your 1 week intensive driving course over a working week of 5 days (25 hours) or a full week of 7 days (35 hours). At the start of your course you will be either met at your hotel; if you are not local at Perth railway station, from there you will be driven to a quiet area. The car controls will be explained to you in a very straight forward manner & a few road procedures will be discussed. Just enough to get you going, not in depth at this time.

You will drive the car for the first time on these quiet roads in rural Perthshire. All intensive driving courses in Perthshire for new drivers will start this way. A one week intensive driving course is designed to get your driving career started in the right direction. At the end of your course you will have all the knowledge that you need to know to drive a car safely from 'A' to 'B' but you will not be ready for your driving test. Gone are the days when you could have your first lesson on a Monday & your driving test the following Friday. That might have been ok if you only needed 20 driving lessons to pass your test, that's the old fashioned way of learning on a 'crash course' which no longer applies today.

These new and unique intensive driving courses have been especially created for nervous learner driver and the person who has never been near the controls of a car.

How to pass a driving test

To pass the driving test a new learner driver would need around 50/60 good quality driving lessons. It is not recommended to take this many driving lessons in one week though. Time will be needed to process new information gathered on the driving course. To see how this works take a look at How to improve your memory. This page on memory demonstrates why you can't remember a new topic overnight to any lasting effect. Apart from memory recall repeated practice has to be carried out until the skill level is raised sufficiently to pass a driving test.

Intensive driving courses in Perth for the new driver will mean taking the two part course.

Intensive driving courses in Perth for the learner driver who has failed a recent driving test or two a short 3 day course might be suitable, please contact me with your circumstance & I will advise you on the best course for your needs.

Learner drivers with previous driving experience can estimate the number of hours they might need to book for their intensive driving course by adding the number of driving lessons previously taken in the last 12 months and deducting them from the 55 lessons which is the average number needed to be ready for a driving test.

EXAMPLE:
30 previous lessons taken in the past 12 months, deducted from 55 = 25 lessons still needed. In which case a 5 day course (25 hour intensive course) would need to be booked.
Why not try this number of lessons estimator?

The actual number of lessons will depend on the quality of your previous instruction and how you responded to that instruction. Please me though, these are only approximate guides
