Intensive Courses Driving School Reviews

Really easy booking process and very helpful whenever I had queries. Organised my instructor and test promptly. Carlos my instructor was fantastic, I couldn’t have asked for better. He pushed me out of my comfort zone in order to make sure I was ready for my test and I passed first time. Thank you!

Just passed my test first attempt with zero faults after 38 hours of intensive lessons! Intensive courses made the entire process easy and booked my test before assigning my instructor Steve. We had a great couple of weeks driving around together and he made sure I was prepared for anything in my test. A big thanks to Steve and Intensive Courses for the experience.

Passed my automatic driving test first time!!! And all thanks to Noel from Intensive Courses Driving School and to Steve in particular who was my driving instructor in Chelmsford. Being a female, 34 y old, with some driving experience in the past (was trying to learn manual), my experience was great, with all admin information supplied timely and in a very descriptive manner. The actual driving lessons were well planned prior to my test, with all key maneuvers and elements practiced numerous times. Whilst I was a very nervous driver previously, thanks to Steve's teaching style I've managed to overcome my negative feelings and felt very comfortable and at ease behind the wheel. His car is also great (Peugeot), great responsive model for learners! I've tried learning driving previously but had no success. With Steve I've managed to finally conquer my fears and passed the first time! Many thanks and highly recommend to everyone.

I cannot praise Noel and his team highly enough. I was in an awkward situation and they did their utmost and found a solution for me rather than waiting for months. Friendly, helpful, professional and efficient - who could ask for more!

The company is not trusted and specifically the instructor named Laurence. They got the money and never return so we have to meet them in the court.

I got assigned Sham as an instructor and could not be happier with the process. Guy was an absolute star, very laid back teacher who efficent taught me both how to drive and how to pass a test. I'd needed to pass to start a new job role, having never driven before and I had slight concerns heading into the process, but Sham managed to completely alliviate those concerns and helped guide me to a comfortable first time pass. ICDS have also been very efficent in thier communication with me when needed and the booking of the test process. Obviously they have many instructors and I can't speak for all of them, but all my interactions with a company were faultless and I could not recommend Sham any higher as an instructor. Honestly, if I had failed my review would be unchanged. I could not recommend him higher.

Last tuesday I'd never really been in the drivers seat and then two weeks later I passed! Glen was a calm and helpful instructor so I could learn very easily. Both how to drive properly, and the particulars of the driving test too. Can't wait to get on the road.

My daughter's experience of learning to drive with Intensive Courses was flawless. The booking process was clear and the staff on the phone were incredibly helpful and reassuring. My daughter took her course in Bishops Stortford with Glenn who was amazing. Communication from him was excellent and the lessons she received were outstanding, thank you Glenn. She passed first time with 2 minors, all down to great teaching. Cannot recommend Intensive Courses and especially Glenn, highly enough.

Best intensive driving school in Essex I have tried many many intensive schools and none of them could keep even basic promises (ex: like the instructor committing and showing up to lessons). Intensive courses school stands apart from the pack by only making promises that it can keep and delivering on them. Steve Lowrie was my instructor and his boundless patience helped me work through my anxiety and nerves through a long course. He got me to a point where I could pass my driving test on the first attempt with just 3 minors. Highly recommend!

Intensive Courses found me a test date in the month I requested and much sooner than I could find myself on Gov.uk. There was good communication throughout with Noel and the team. My instructor Stephen was kind, calm and positive, and taught everything methodically, helping me to feel comfortable behind the wheel from the first lesson. I did 30 hours of lessons in 1.5 weeks and passed with 0 minors first time. Overall a really smooth and enjoyable process all round. Thanks Intensive Courses and Stephen!

I couldn’t recommend this more! My driving instructor, Jay, was extremely patient and kind when helping me learn how to drive. He has always given clear and consistent instructions that were easy to follow and never made me feel like any question was a silly question. I used to be extremely nervous when driving and now am confident and have passed my test! Honestly couldn’t recommend it more!

Mak was a brilliant instructor patient, assertive, extremely wise in his craft and made me instantly feel comfortable. You want a instructor that cares and not just in it for your money I’ve had many trial and error’s with past instructors but Mak assures you there is instructors who want to see you progress by achieving your driving licence. Well worth every penny!

Very happy with service, done 30hr intensive driving course my driving instructor, it was very good and professional - Jay was calm throughout lessons and didn’t put any stress on me throughout the course. Passed 1st time doing my test.

I cannot begin to explain how phenomenal Noel and the team at Intensive Courses have been these past few months. As an older driver, I was incredibly nervous about getting behind the wheel but they partnered me with Shams who I cannot recommend highly enough. Patient, kind and totally supportive, Shams works out how you learn best and tailors his style accordingly. He balanced theory with practice, rules of the road with presence of mind while driving. I have now passed first time. A huge thank you to the whole team for giving me this freedom to drive my young boys around, both in and out of London!

Had an amazing experience with this company. Great communication from start to finish, test date through quickly, my instructor Glenn was brilliant, I started off as a very anxious driver with very basic knowledge, with just a 24 hour course Glenn completely transformed my driving and my mindset which has massively helped my confidence. As a result of this passed my test with only 3 minors. Massive Thankyou to the company and especially Glenn.

I had 38 hours driving with Elaine, who was fantastic - extremely knowledgable and supportive. I passed first time with her help! Highly recommend the intensive course driving lessons and of course, Elaine. Great experience, thank you.

This company colludes with its driving instructors to cheat people. When you have a problem, they don't solve it immediately, but instead drag it out. My instructor didn't show up for a lesson and made excuses saying he was there on a Saturday. but I stood there for half an hour and didn't see him or receive a call. I emailed the company immediately on that Saturday to request a new instructor or a refund, but they only responded to me on the day of my driving test ,by which time it was too late for a refund. Everyone needs to be wary of such unethical companies. I paid £240 for their service fee, and the instructor's 21 hours totalled £798, making a total of about £1200. They even refused to refund the remaining eight hours of lessons, claiming it was my fault. What is the difference between them and scammers? As for the instructor's attendance, they didn't provide any evidence of where he was. I'm confused because I had already told him I would be there at 2:20pm. If he wasn't there, why didn't he tell me where he was? Who is paying whom? This should be made clear. Totally lied !!!!! Regarding the instructor, he had a bad temper, no patience, and repeatedly shouted at me. Whenever I turned, he would shout at me and even grab the steering wheel. His language was particularly unfriendly. At the beginning of my lessons, he told me that I couldn't pass and said this every time, which made me lose confidence in myself. Then before the test day , he said someone cancelled his lessons and ask me if I want to book . This kind of attitude and behaviour is unacceptable. I have been driving for 6 years in another country and only needed to familiarise myself with the test route. Don’t book lesson in Hendon with chris and this company ! Totally awful !!and you will never forget this experience with this people !

Elaine was a fantastic instructor for my 2.5 week intensive course. She was really relaxed and reassuring in the car, and shared lots of simple ways to remember important things and build that habits that will ensure you pass. I felt really calm and confident going into my test. Also she bought me 2x KitKat Chunkies from various South London petrol stations - it's the little things. :)

Superb from Noel and his team. Most of all I was lucky enough to be taught by Shams: a kind, patient and wonderful instructor. Highly recommended!
