Intensive Courses Driving School Reviews

I had absolutely fantastic service from Intensive Courses - the booking and management of payments etc was all very clear and straightforward, from the very beginning. The theory test was all booked and managed well for me too. Learning to drive in a pandemic was not ideal but the admin was superb, including re-booking of cancelled tests etc. The lessons themselves with Gary were just brilliant, he is an excellent instructor. Excellent COVID-security. Patient and funny, clear and repetitive (in a good way!), putting you out of your comfort zone to learn but never making you feel unsafe or nervous. I passed first time yesterday! Can’t believe it. Thank you Gary, Noel and everyone at Intensive Courses!!

Great experience with this company, and particularly with my driving instructor, Carlos. He made me feel very confident and assured with my driving, was incredibly helpful with his instruction, and was also great fun to share a car with. It was very easy to book my lessons and test with Intensive Courses Driving School, and at a good price too. Just be sure to tell them that you would like a test date as soon as possible, through cancellations, if that's what you want. Would highly recommend both services. Cheers guys!

It was amazing! I was a very nervous driver and had 2 instructors and 26 hours before deciding to use intensivecourses. Thanks to 45 hours and Yousouff I passed my driving test first time with 2 minors!!!! Definitely recommend this company!

My experience with Intensive courses driving school has been excellent. From my booking just 4 weeks before my test, Both Gaynor and Noel was very transparent with the availability of my instructor which allowed me to plan around work. Once that was finalised I paid my deposit a few days later and was then contacted by my instructor within the hour of making payment. At which point Musaffer and I was able to plan a schedule for my up and coming 18hour session spread over 3 weeks leading up to my test. From my first to last hour was an great experience, Musaffer was quick at assessing what I needed to practice on and easily gave me confidence by teaching the correct techniques. I would definitely recommend him to other people and I know he would be able to teach someone like myself who was fairly confident to begin with as well as someone who has never sat in front of the wheel before. Thanks to Musaffer, Gaynor and Noel. Oh and yes I passed, first time!

Musaffar was a great instructor. He helped me pass on my first test. He gave me a really dedicated and insightful intensive 20 hours of lessons, focused on the area my test was and guided me through all the manoeuvres expertly. Thank you!

I highly recommend booking Intensive Courses. From initially booking my course last summer, due to Covid and the various lockdowns I ended up having lessons cancelled and rescheduled, I had 2 practical tests cancelled, but eventually 9 months later(!) I managed to pass my test 1st time with only 2 minors thanks to the Intensive Courses team and my instructor, Musaffar. The team at Intensive Courses were very efficient at assigning me a local instructor and were great at communicating with me via email and phone throughout the whole process including booking in the Theory & Practical Tests on my behalf. They even managed to secure my driving test a month earlier than originally scheduled because someone had cancelled which was great service. Everyone I had contact with throughout the course were extremely friendly, helpful and professional and under the circumstances I think they were amazing and really supportive. A massive thanks so my instructor, Musaffar, who was very patient and helped me to become more confident in areas I was anxious about. He's extremely experienced having been an instructor 20+ years and knows the test routes well. For example, we practised a parallel park just before my test and on the test I was asked to do a parallel park behind the exact same car I had practised on earlier! Overall, I had a great experience and I'm really pleased with the results under the circumstances.

A brilliant experience with a top class driving school. I called and spoke to all the intensive driving schools in my part of London before choosing one for my son's 21st birthday present. Dealing with Noel at Intensive Courses Driving School was completely different to speaking to the other schools, where they made me feel like they were doing me a favour by having the conversation. With Noel I was able to ask all the questions I needed to to make my selection and it felt as though they asked questions of me that showed them to be totally vested in the outcome. It felt as though I was picking a bespoke service, tailored to my son's needs and indeed, once he met with the driver and started the course, that proved to be exactly right. Their price point is mid range but I felt that we got excellent value for money - and not just because my son passed his test first time but per se. Everything about the experience; initial contact, depth of discussion, choice of driver, admin, nice people to do business with, a sense of being in it together, was top notch. A wholly satisfying experience.

Great course. Passed without getting a minor. My instructor Musaffar was the man, best in the busiensss, crem de le crem. Highly recommend.

Great service and i highly recommend this company to whoever wants to take out the complications of going through a normal driving school experience.Polite, helpful and efficient. Definitely a 5🌟 service. Thank you.

Thanks so much to Noel for organising all - with COVID putting a stop to everything and changing all plans quite a few times it was such a relief to be able to rely on Intensive courses to sort out the test booking time and time again. I have to give a HUGE thank you to Federico my instructor, as a somewhat nervous driver he put my mind at ease and made every lesson so enjoyable, he really is such a fab teacher and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He made sure I always felt confident behind the wheel and made sure I knew exactly what I was doing. All thanks to him I passed on my first test with two minors, I really couldn’t have done it without him. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

Yousouff was a fantastic instructor. I felt well prepared and he made me feel confident I would pass. Would recommend his services.

The customer service is probably some of the best I’ve ever experienced. After seeing the news reports about there being a huge backlog of driving tests I was pretty worried. However Noel and the team told me that once I’d passed my theory test they’d do their best to book a test. Well I thankfully passed my test and I was expecting to hear back about a test in a few weeks. Noel let me know the SAME DAY that they had found and booked me on a driving test. Can’t recommended this company enough! Thanks to the team at intensive courses.

Would highly recommend Intensive Courses! From start to finish they made the whole process easy and stress-free for us, from booking my son's theory test, to assigning us a fantastic driving instructor (Alan is amazing!) to arranging the practical test - all with the trials and tribulations of Covid-19. My son passed his driving test first time, thank you so much!

My instructor - Nurul Islam was constantly on his phone, late to lessons and answering family phone calls during our lessons. He would also waste time filling up petrol and on one occasion wasted 10 minutes signing up for a membership at the petrol station. Recently he was falling asleep while I was driving as he is fasting for Ramadan. On our last lesson I calmly told him that I feel nervous driving while he is on his phone. He replied by saying "don't worry 100% of my attention is on you." I asked him how this was possible if he is on his phone to which he aggressively replied " if you want to argue about it pull up and we can debate it." As an anxiety sufferer this made feel extremely uncomfortable behind the wheel. I do not recommend this instructor at all. I am still waiting to hear back from this company.

Noel was great and helped me find a great instructor Rajesh. I passed my test today. He really knows what he is doing and he slowly builds your confidence and skill on the road. Cant say thank you enough!

I can’t speak highly enough about the lessons and treatment I received from George. I was a total novice at 36, having never sat in the driver’s seat of a car on February 2020 and I passed my test, first time, in august 2020 even with the break in teaching due to the pandemic. That was all down to George. George’s calm demeanour and laid back teaching style made me very comfortable from the outset and made the lessons enjoyable which in turn made learning a lot easier. Once we had completed the fundamentals I spent a lot of the time driving around the area where my test was to take place which meant on the day of my test I was very familiar with my surroundings and reduced the chances of any surprises. I can’t thank George enough for all the help and I would recommend him in a heartbeat to anyone looking to get their licence! Enda

I rang intensive courses driving school shortly after lockdown ended in July and after speaking to Noel (who was incredibly helpful and friendly) got myself booked in for a 30 hour course. The 2nd lockdown put a spanner in the works of my lessons but Noel and my instructor Musafar bent over backwards to get me ready for my test on December 18th. I passed 1st time thanks to Musafar who is a brilliant instructor and a very calming influence (I suffer from anxiety and without him I’m not sure I would ever have been able to drive). I think by the day of my test musafar had something like 10 people passed in a 2-3 week period so you are in good hands with him. I cannot recommend intensive courses driving school enough. THNK YOU NOEL AND MUSAFAR

I booked a 30 hour course with Intensive Courses having not done any driving lessons at all on six years The process to get started was simple and clear. My instructor Yousouff was brilliant - I was nervous at the prospect of driving in London, but he did a great job at building my confidence up quickly and ensuring I felt comfortable with the different elements of the test. I really enjoyed an intensive course, as practising all the different components together (normal driving, roundabouts, manoeuvres etc) made it feel like I was learning to drive much more naturally than just doing an hour a week. It also meant I became used to driving in lots of different traffic conditions which I think is really useful. I was really pleased to pass my test first time and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend both Yousouff and Intensive Courses!

Right from the off, Intensive Courses have been great. Very proactive with getting in contact with me to arrange lessons and happy to answer any calls / questions about test dates and future lessons etc. My driving instructor was Musaffar who was fantastic. Very calm and collected with pin point manoeuvres I couldn’t recommend him highly enough. I was the 4th person to pass that week under his guidance. Glad to be done and happy to have gone with Intensive Courses.

Before September 2020, I had never sat in the driver's seat of a car, and by December, I had passed. Yousouff is a fantastic and exceptionally conscientious instructor, and I had an excellent experience with the Intensive Courses Driving School. Highly recommend!!
