Our driving instructors are intensive driving course specialists.
At Alert Driver Training, we maximise your chances of getting the most out of your intensive driving course & passing your driving test first time, all whilst minimising the cost.

How? Because our friendly, experienced instructors teach a sensible, safe number of driving lessons each day, and this is easier to do with intense driving courses. So our instructors are always switched on. We send you to test only once you've covered the syllabus consistently. We'll give you at least three mock tests before the big day. And because we'll keep a much more detailed Record of Progress than the Driving Standards Agency recommends.

But, here's the really good news. Chances are, you'll pay less overall, especially with intensive driving lessons. A lot of schools will charge you less per hour. We charge a little more. But don't rush off. Look beyond the driving lesson hourly rate. Some of those other schools could be making up their money with lessons you don't need. When you learn with us, we'll give you an honest ongoing evaluation via our Record of Progress of how many lessons we think you need.

How many (intensive) driving lessons will I need?

This is asked a lot, we don't mind answering it at all........... but it's very difficult to answer!

The honest answer is governed by both your experience and as many lessons as it takes us to a) go through the whole syllabus once b) recap parts of the syllabus you found difficult c) have a couple of mock tests and repair sessions to help you get ready for the big day! d) drive around for 45 minutes with minimal/no intervention by your instructor ....Allow up to 40 lessons if you are starting from scratch, we can do it in less, especially with an intensive course.

How long will it take to go to test?


Regardless of experience the quickest anybody can go to test from scratch is governed by two factors: The length of time it takes to study/apply/pass the theory, (only when you have passed can you apply for practical)  = 2-3wks ADDED  to the waiting time for going to test
