Intensive Courses Driving School Reviews

Came into my course a complete beginner with zero driving experience, opted for the 38 hour course. And thanks to instructor Elaine I manged to pass first time with only 3 minors. highly recommend

I recently completed my driving course with Intensive Courses Driving School, and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish! My instructor (Paresh Patel) was not only highly skilled and experienced but also patient, friendly, and extremely encouraging. Even as a nervous beginner that has never been behind the wheel, my instructor has succeeded in creating a comfortable and supportive learning environment. My instructor had more confidence in my ability to pass the exam than I had in myself, which really helped me get my mind back on track and trust that I can do it. Overall, we had a great time, which not only made learning enjoyable but also helped alleviate the pressure and nervousness.

My experience learning how to drive with Makarios was exceptional! I was so shakey, nervous and had absolutely no confidence but thankfully I had Makarios who pushed me to be and do my best even on my "bad days" he always encouraged me and helped me to fix my problems from parallel parking to CHECKING ALL THE MIRRORS + BLIND SPOT. I am so grateful, Makarios is a huge asset to the company and I would highly highly highly recommend him.

My experience with Intensive courses was exceptional! Very well organised and all credits go to my instructor Shams. He was gentle and helped me with correcting all minor mistakes. This helped me to pass the test in one of the toughest routes Wanstead without and minor mistakes in the exam!

I did an intensive course with Steve. From my first lesson, he instilled the instrumental confidence needed to develop my own judgment on the road. He was calm, concise and kept all instruction simple and easy to remember. Steve was on time, if not early for every single lesson. Without pushing me past my capabilities, he continued every lesson to build my skills as a driver. The whole process of learning with ‘intensive courses’ was seamless and I would recommend happily to anyone! Thank you Steve :)

Intensive Courses provided an excellent learning experience. Nurul, my instructor, is a great teacher and made the learning journey very enjoyable. He was also able to keep me calm and focused on my test day, which helped me to perform on the day and pass my test. Big thanks to Nurul and the Intensive Courses team.

Amazing service! Jay is a great driving instructor and a lovely guy. He is knowledgeable, really supportive and very patient. Wouldn't have been able to pass without him. I can't recommend enough!

Very kind instructor, fabulous teaching, made me feel very confident in my driving

Passed my test on my 5th attempt. Intensive courses were great! Noel went out of his way to find me dates for the test. Rabaya is excellent at what she does. She taught me everything that was important for me to pass the test. Definitely recommend intensive courses.

Very comprehensive service and friendly, helpful staff. I took an 18 hour course to convert from a US license (and after having lived here for 23 years, I was very rusty!) and passed first time. They were also really accommodating around me being pregnant and rebooked my test for me. Thank you!

Passed my test first time with Elaine and she was the perfect instructor for me. Cool, calm and collected while still making every lesson enjoyable. Massive thank you to Intensive Courses and thank you to Elaine!

Fantastic company. Great quality of service and product. Great clarity in communication. Fantastic instructors. At a time where many companies are taking advantage of desperate students and long waiting times, I always felt the opposite with intensive courses and they prioritised doing the right thing. You do pay extra, but you get what you pay for and they got the extra mile. Highly recommend and definitely place them a cut above the rest of the many Ive experienced.

Today, I successfully cleared my category B driving test in the UK! Though I already possessed a driving license from another country, the British driving test was a requirement for me to drive here. With the intention of undergoing 10 hours of preparation lessons, I reached out to Intensive Courses Driving School a fortnight ago, right after clearing my theory test. The School was exceptionally prompt in pairing me with a driving instructor and scheduling my test. I benefited from a last-minute cancellation, without which I would have faced a lengthy waiting period! My instructor, Paresh Patel, was nothing short of remarkable. Despite my prior driving experience, he taught me numerous subtleties and important aspects that I hadn't considered before. His guidance was not only instrumental in helping me pass the test but also in ensuring that I drive safely in the future. His attention to the little details and his commitment to thorough teaching made this a valuable learning experience for me!

George was my driving instructor, extremely calm and knowledgeable without losing his sense of humour. Booked an intensive course of 10hrs but ending up booking 6 more to be extra sure and passed within 2weeks. Would recommend a million times over.

I had Jay as my instructor and i couldn't fault him what so ever, very calm and friendly. A perfect driving instructor for first time drivers and also experienced ones. If your thinking about booking a course then i would definitely recommend asking for Jay to be your instructor. Im so happy i have just passed, thank you so much Jay! Appreciate you alot.

Working with intensive courses was a joy from start to finish. Everything went smoothly with the admin side of things and it's clear that they only work with the best driving instructors available. Glenn is everything you could possibly want from a driving instructor. Calm, collected, instructive and funny! He's a master driver but hasn't forgotten what it's like to be a complete beginner. He takes nothing for granted and explains everything methodically to make sure that you understand fully. Glenn gives you the opportunity to drive independently but is always on hand to assist should things get a bit hairy. He never interjects unnecessarily and looks for learning opportunities at every chance. After my first few lessons with Glenn, I was confident that I would pass my test the first time. Simply put, he is an expert at what he does and will get you the result that you're after if you listen to his advice and learn. Thanks to Glenn and Intensive Courses, it was a pleasure working with you!

Steve in Chelmsford is the absolute best instructor you could ask for. Calm, collected, and determined to get you safely passed. Couldn’t have asked for a better teacher. Having failed three times previously, I came to Steve with very little confidence. Within 18 hours of lessons, I’d passed my test and was on the road solo and no longer scared!

Very quick and easy link up with my instructor Kester who was patient, kind and absolutely brilliant all round. Thanks to his expert instruction I passed first time!

When booking my intensive course I did book to learn in an automatic car but on the day my lessons started the instructor had a manual car. I had the option to reschedule my lessons and test so they could find me an automatic instructor. But I was desperate for my license and didn’t want to wait for a new test date. I had only booked a 30 hour course as I thought this was all I’d need if learning in an automatic but as I was now learning in a manual car and I was worried I’d need more lessons. Luckily I was given an amazing instructor called Yousouff who was very patient and an all round great teacher! I didn’t need any additional lessons and I passed my test first time with only 2 minors. Noel from the office was also great and helped with any concerns I had. 10/10 for his customer service! I will be recommending intensive courses to anyone I know looking to pass their test. Thanks again for a great service!

Samia was an amazing instructor and took all the steps to ensure we covered everything in a short amount of time (5-6 days)! She was kind, thorough and patient. Super appreciative to Intensive Courses on helping me find a driving test, accommodating my date changes and helping me pass my driving test! Thank you
