Intensive Driving Courses with Chris Richards ADI...

Our Intensive courses (sometime referred to as Crash Courses or Quick Pass Courses) are fantastic ways to learn to drive in a shorter time. As you are having more lessons per week then normal single lessons you can recall and develop your skills faster, hence saving you money and time!
The courses will normally take 1-8 weeks depending on how many hours you can fit in per week and you circumstances. If you have your theory then the shorter course times are available. If you don't then you can still pass quickly but extra time is sometimes needed to allow you to study for your theory. Or book a course and pass your theory before your intensive course begins!

We can also book your Practical Driving test for you as part of your course but this will incur the normal DSA Test fee (currently £62 for a weekday test)

You will receive one-2-one tuition so you will always have the instructors full concentration as you cant learn to drive with out actually driving!!(100% of your time is spent learning and driving not watching someone else for half the time!).

We offer several types of courses depending on you experience and time available...

A Typical 1 Week Schedule of a 42 hour course

The Driving courses usually start on a Monday and finish on a Friday with your test on the final day. You also have the option do do this course over several weeks and it will be tailored to your needs.

Day 1 (usually a Sunday)

7 hours in duration. 2 Hours Tuition (am) covering the basics or an assessment lesson if you have had previous experience. After the initial 2 hours we will then tailor the rest of the course’s tuition to your needs and monitor it with you at every step of the way ( you will have a copy of this in your log book to help keep you informed). We will then continue with another 5 hours of tuition with a break if needed.

Day 2 (usually a Monday)

7 hours of tuition tailored and monitored to your needs with breaks when and if necessary.

Day 3 (usually a Tuesday)

7 hours of tuition tailored and monitored to your needs with breaks when and if necessary.

Day 4 (usually a Wednesday)

7 hours of tuition tailored and monitored to your needs with breaks when and if necessary.

Day 6 (usually a Thursday)

7 hours in duration which includes a Mock Test, advise and helpful information to help prepare you for your real Practical test. We can then also re-tailor the remaining hours of tuition to you new individual needs as highlighted by your mock test.

Day 7 (Test day)

This is usually the next day (Friday) but sometimes due to test center availability it may be later that week or early next week. If this is likely to be the case we will discuss it with you before the beginning of your course and if necessary re-schedule some of you course to fit in with the test date. However this usually only applies to some short notice courses as with enough notice we can plan and find the test time to suit. Also if you pass your theory test late or during the course this can also effect test availability (please contact me if this applies or for more information). On your test day we will provide 6 hours of tuition with breaks and then on the 7th hour will follow your Practical Test. This day will be structured to give you the best chance of passing as agreed prior with the learner.

Sometimes our learners like to complete the weeks course and have the test on the following week. This can sometimes help you relax a little as a weeks course can be too stressful for some. As such the tuition would be spread out over a longer time or you can use 3 hours of the time from the week to have your test and a lesson before at a later date ( within 5 days from the end of the course as you need consistent tuition to pass your test).

Please not this is only a typical course and can be changed for your needs and availability.

Ways to pay

Pay On-line

You can pay for your driving tuition online using the Google
links above or click on the pay-online page. You don’t have to pay the full
amount up front, you can use the deposit option of paying £50 to reserve your tuition times and then pay the balance on the first day of your course using any of these payment methods (E.g. you can pay on-line for the deposit and then pay the balance by cash etc).

Pay by cash

All tuition must be paid for in advance. Hourly lessons must be paid for at the beginning of your lesson. Intensive courses must be paid for in full at the beginning of the course minus deposit paid. Your logbook has your driving appointments on the reverse with an area for you instructor to sign which acts as your receipt of payment.

Pay by cheque

Unfortunately we can only accept personal cheque for intensive courses that have cleared before the start of the first lesson. If you are intending to pay for an intensive course by cheque please send us the cheque in advance allowing time for the cheque to clear. Hourly lessons can be paid for by cheque without the additional clearing time.

Credit and Debit cards

We can only accept payment by credit/debit cards via our website using the Google or Paypal methods. In the near future we will offer card payments at the point of tuition.

Bank Transfer

You can pay via BACS or other bank transfer methods. But you will
need to contact us before and we will give you the relevant bank details.
