Intensive Driving Course


SR

Recommended Posts

I need to learn to drive, on mat leave and the reality of getting 2 little ones to 2 places before I get to work is fast approaching. Has anyone done an intensive course, any recommendations - google finds this company would be good to hear someone has successfully used them - or not.. before I take the plunge. - http://intensivecourses.co.uk/general-information/about-intensive-driving-courses


thanks

My husband used these guys having had a rubbish experience with an ED instructor leading to 3 failed tests.

They allocated him to a local instructor who got him through (as well as teaching him far more than a year of lessons with the other instructor). I wish I could remember her name, (?Heather or Elaine) I never met her myself, but wanted to hug her for getting my husband so much more confident (& would love to send him back to her for a refresher/advanced driving course).

Hi SR,

I organised my own intensive course by booking 2 hours every day after work for 2 weeks + an hour at a weekend. It also meant I learnt on local roads. It really helped that I cycle around so road sense, looking ahead was largely in place - or that's what my intructor said. I think I used BSM.

Good luck.

I used this company - and yes, it was Elaine for me too. She drummed everything into me, got me onto dual carriageways etc (eek!) and basically turned me around when I really needed the push. I had previously had three or four instructors over the years and hadn't driven for 5 years. I would highly recommend her, not so much for the small-talk iykwim but for getting even people like me to pass their test. I honestly feel I could have piddled about for another few years, it was so worth just doing it more intensively (and actually I had small kids so had to 3 hours on a Saturday and Sunday, over 3 weeks or so). I think she is pretty amazing!

Thanks all,


Feedback appreciated, sounds like it's the way forward.


I think i will opt for semi intensive to fit around childcare and as it seems a bit more balanced than a one week course, it looks like this company can accommodate that. Left them a vmail a few days ago and they are yet to get back so hope they are not too busy.. Happy to report back Piaf.

We've just used intensive courses.co.uk for our daughter. Tuition ok, she failed on 1 thing only:( what makes it worse is the firm has done absolutely nothing to help/rebook tests etc afterwards, we're sorting the retake ourselves.

    • Please understand that I am not doubting the word of anyone who has posted here with problems with bought-in prepared meat, but (I am old) uncooked meat (perfectly 'good' meat) does smell often, we are too used to shrink wrapped and chilled supermarket meat which can be almost scent free - so we are surprised when 'butcher's' meat does smell (and often, if it is uncooked, quite strongly). Indeed game which is high can smell quite strongly, and not in a good way to our 21st C sensibilities, without being off - as in food poisoning off. Certainly prepared meat, when cooked, should smell enticing, and not at all bad - so the experiences quoted above are certainly very worrying - but younger people reading this should not be concerned, particularly, if fresh (raw) meat they have bought from e.g. a proper butchers has a smell to it. Which is not to say that something which smells rank shouldn't be a point of complaint. Even the smell of high-ish game, if left unwrapped, should dissipate once unwrapped. If it increases however it may be  cause for concern. But raw beef or lamb in the joint can often smell of something which isn't necessarily particularly nice, without it being worrying. It will tend to cook with more flavour.
    • Thanks tedfudge, great news, well done!!! 🦆😊
