Intensive driving lessons through out Essex.

Intensive driving lessons also known as crash courses, are a fast way of learning to drive, and provide an opportunity to dramatically reduce the time it takes you to pass the driving test. 

Popular with learners of all ages, intensive courses make it possible to drive from just 5 days when normally it could take up to 14 months to learn when taking a 1 hour lesson every week. 

We can tailor make a course especially for you in either a manual or automatic vehicle, over a week or longer if you require. 

If you are looking to drive sooner rather than later, phone or e-mail us for a quotation today.

Karen's Intensive courses content

We understand that the driving test has become more demanding and the pressure to drive has increased.  You now have to reach a very high standard to pass the new test, which is why our courses are specially designed to help you, reach that high standard. 

Our local driving instructors are highly qualified men and women and are experts in the field of intensive training.  They are fully aware of the worries and stress of all pupils learning to drive.  Our instructors are patient reliable and understanding.  They will give you all the help and support needed to get you through your test first time. 

You will have the same instructor and car for your course and test and we can arrange to meet you for your daily lessons from home.  All our vehicles are modern and fitted with dual controls for your safety, and all have comprehensive insurance.  Our aim is to teach you to drive to a high standard and to help you to pass your test first time in an enjoyable atmosphere, although we offer no guarentees. 

If you have already passed the theory test, you may deduct £31.00 from the price of your chosen course when a 'with package course' has been selected. 

As a guide the 8 to 16 hour course is designed for someone who has recently taken a test and failed. 

The 20 - 50 hour courses would be suitable for someone who has little or no experience. 

If you are unsure which course you require please phone and speak to our friendly staff who will be happy to advise you, or they can arrange for one of our highly qualified instructors to see you for an assessment lesson to estimate more accurately the number of hours tuition you need to drive safely and of course to pass your driving test. 

We design the course, YOU learn to drive.
