Intensive driving courses Dundee

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

Driving tests are conducted at the Dundee driving test centre & your intensive driving course will include driving on both rural & town roads within the Dundee area. Dundee residential intensive driving courses are available & hotel accomodation is usually plentiful in Dundee or surrounding areas. The cost of hotel accomodation 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 Dundee & do not wish to stay in a hotel can easily Travel via bus or train. For these students I usually meet at Dundee railway station (Bus station has restricted parking, but its a short walk to the train station).

Intensive driving courses Dundee - 1 week course

The 1 week intensive driving courses in Dundee 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 Dundee railway station, from there you will be driven to a quiet area of Dundee. 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 Dundee. All intensive driving courses for new drivers will start this way. Your 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 the nervous learner driver and the person who has never been near a cars controls.

Intensive driving courses Dundee - How do I pass my driving test?

To pass your driving test as a new learner driver you will need around 50/60 good quality driving lessons. It is not recommended to take this many driving lessons in 1 week though. You will need time to process all of this new information you will receive on your course & you will need time to be able to re-inforce all that you have learned in traffic plus other distracting situations.

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

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

Intensive driving courses in Dundee for drivers with some driving experience. You should make sure that from your first driving lessons up to your driving test you will have had at least 50/60 recent hours of tuition.

Example: If you have had 20 recent driving lessons then you will need to book a 5 or 7 day course. If you have had 30/40 recent driving lessons you will need to book a 3/4 day course, but it will depend on the quality of your previous instruction and how you responded to that instruction. Please me though, these are only rough guides.

Dundee driving courses should be divided into weekly sections for new drivers

Intensive Driving Course Dundee: Section 0ne:
The first part of your driver training should be taken as a one week intensive course (either 5 days or 7 days). From this initial start to your driving you will have understood what is involved in driving safely from 'A' to 'B'. You will not be ready for your driving test though, for that you will need to practice your newly acquired techniques.

Intensive Driving Course Dundee: Section Two:
On the second part of your course which could be three or more days of intensive driving you will be driving independently & raising your confidence & experience to a higher level. At the end of this part of your course you will be taking your driving test. Total driving school training hours you will have had by the time you take your driving test will be between 50/60. There are no shortcuts to road safety or passing your driving test. These good quality hours have to be put in.

Intensive driving courses Dundee - learner drivers with some experience

Shorter intensive driving courses are available in Dundee for learner drivers who have had previous driving lessons. The type of intensive course that you book will depend on many factors such as:

How long ago were your driving lessons
How good was your driving instructor
Have you taken any driving tests
What level did you achieve on your lessons i.e driving unaided or still being assisted

When you me can you give me as much detail as possible & I will recommend the type of intensive driving course in Dundee that would be best for you.
