Intensive driving courses Dundee
Intensive driving courses in Dundee 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 six hours.

Driving tests are conducted at the Dundee driving test centre & your intensive driving course in Dundee 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 which hotels are within easy reach of the driver training area.

Learner drivers who live just outside of Dunee & do not wish to stay in a hotel can easily Travel Scotland to Dundee via bus or train. For these students I usually meet you at Dundee railway 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 (30 hours) or a full week of 7 days (40 hours). At the start of your course you will be either met at your hotel, if you are not local or at Dundee railway station, from there you will be driven to a quiet area of Dundee. You will then have the car controls explained to you in a very straightforward manner & a few road procedures will be discussed also. 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 in Dundee for new drivers will start this way. Your 1 week intensive driving course is designed to get your driving career started in the right direction. 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. Modern intensive driving courses have changed in line with the driving test & busier road conditions. Although I still see there are driving schools out there still promoting the impossible for most new drivers to pass their driving test in a week.

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 intensive driving course & you will need time to be able to re-inforce all that you have learned in traffic & other distracting situations.

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