How do I book?

• Have a look through the courses we offer and choose which one suits you best.  Then give us a call or complete the contact form and we will call you back.
• Payment of the deposit should be made by bank transfer - account details will be provided upon reserving your course dates. 
• The balance of the course fees should be made in cash to the instructor at the beginning of the first day of your course.
• Once we have received the deposit for your course, we will send you confirmation of your booking by email. 
   

Should I have any private practice?

• The simple answer to this question is Yes.  We actively encourage all of our pupils to have private practice wherever possible.
• Practicing your driving skills is essential and the more practice you can get, with or without an instructor, the better prepared for a practical test you will be. 

Is a driving test included in the course fees?

• No, it isn't.  However, if you book your own driving test and would like our driving instructor to take you for that test, please liaise with your instructor as to their availability.  

Do you recommend having a driving test on the last day of the course?

• No.
• Many intensive driving course providers have pupils taking their test during the last hour of the course.  At IntensiveTuition our aim is to get all pupils test ready by the end of their course.  However we know from experience that everybody learns at a different rate and it is almost impossible to say for certain, at the beginning of a course, that the pupil will be ready for their practical test by the end of it. 
• Unfortunately the DVSA require a minimum of 3 working days’ notice to cancel a driving test to avoid losing the test fee.  If a course has the practical test on the final day and the course is, for example, just 4 or 5 days’ long with the driving test booked on the final day, the instructor has a very limited time in which to assess the likelihood of a pupil successfully passing their test.  For courses of less than 5 days’ duration it can be difficult to assess by the end of the first day whether the course length booked should be sufficient to get a pupil to test standard.
• We want to give every one of our pupils the best possible chance of passing their driving test first time.  It is for this reason, as well as the reasons detailed above, that we do not recommend having the practical test on the last day of the course. 
• In addition, we believe in providing a value for money service.  Therefore, the last thing we want is for our pupils to decide that they are not ready for their test, but be unable to give the required notice to the DVSA to claim a refund of the test fee.
