The Effectiveness of Intensive Driving Lessons

Some people think that learning to drive can be done slowly, with not-so-frequent lessons. However, it cannot be further from the truth. Here is an article by Rob Laird who tried to explain it the right way.

Intensive Driving Lessons - Do They Work?

With time being important to everyone, more and more driving schools are offering intensive driving lessons for learner drivers, some of them spread over just one week. Some companies also offer residential courses. This can also make the process harder, as you are learning in an area which is very unfamiliar.

Unfortunately, like most things, they don't suit everyone. The skills needed to drive safely take time to learn, and although you may learn enough to pass the driving test, I've found that the quicker you learn, the quicker you forget things. Very short intensive courses can also put a lot of pressure on the person learning.

If you have had previous experience on other vehicles, or other driving lessons before, intensive lessons can be useful. As you're not starting from scratch things will be a little easier.
If you have had no experience, the best way to learn quickly would be to have 2 hours a day, 5 days a week. On that time scale, you might expect to be ready for your test after 4-5 weeks. But like most things, it depends on the person.

If you have had experience before, the amount of lessons, and therefore the time it will take will vary a lot. The best course of action would be to book an assessment driving lesson with a driving instructor, who should be able to give you a better idea of what you will need.

If you ask me, the lessons should not only be intensive, but should be with a point. That's why a driving test guide is so important.
