About Intensive Driving Courses in Norwich
You may be looking at this site for Intensive Driving Courses either for you or someone else. Here is some information which I'm sure will help you choose the right driving course. You can always phone or email for more information and advice.
Do you have any previous driving experience?
Most people I train have usually have some driving experience. Here are some examples:
"I've done a bit of driving on a supermarket car park - airfield - private land etc "
"I've done loads of driving with my mum - dad - boyfriend but never/only had a few proper driving lessons."
"I have had lots of driving lessons but need to get through my test now."
Every person is different but the story is usually quite similar. Intensive Driving Courses are excellent for those with some driving experience. It can be a bit more difficult for those without any driving experience.
Save Money!
The more driving experience the more money could be saved - now that has got to be good news! Get as much practice in before starting an Intensive Driving Course. This will save time in getting up to test standard. It will definitely increase the chances of success. So many people who have had weekly lessons feel it is a case of three steps forward and then two back. Continuity assists the learning process.
Feeling Frustrated
Unfortunately some peoples' driving experience is that they feel that all their Driving Instructor is interested in is taking their money! It seems that they are not making the sort progress they expected and become frustrated. Instead of looking forward to their driving lessons they start to loose enthusiasm.
You should always try and sort out your Driving Theory Test as soon as possible - you then have two years to pass the Practical Driving Test (plenty of time!)
Learning to drive should be enjoyable. Our Intensive Driving Courses are well structured with students able to see their progress on a daily basis. Time passes very quickly as the training is designed to enable quick and steady progress. |
If you have never had any driving experience
"I will get my provisional licence soon and want to pass my Driving test as soon as possible"
This can be the case for younger drivers. If they have some off road driving experience or have ridden a motorbike then an Intensive Driving Course could be great. Training is easier if someone has already had some on road experience.
"I really need to be driving now because of my circumstances"
If you are the more 'mature' driver then be prepared for more hours.
It's about being a safe driver - not just passing a test
This is a fundamental point and often quoted by instructors - it's not good scraping through a driving test but then not being confident as a driver!
The driving test is only a small (but important) part of learning to drive. The test lasts for around 45 minutes - driving will last for the rest of your life.
Yes Intensive Training is a sensible option but the aim is to produce safe, confident and courteous drivers.
...and finally
I have trained many different types of people over the years. Getting the best out of my students means having the correct approach to training. This means team work - a working relationship where there is mutual respect and a relaxed atmosphere. This makes training much more effective and productive.
If you enjoy driving then the chances are you will be good at it.
I hope this page and the rest of the site is helpful. Looking forward to hearing from you.
