INTENSIVE DRIVING LESSONS

Semi-Intensive and how do they work?

These are a great starting point if you can't afford to commit the time to a full-on intensive, fund one, these are great option, taken as 8 hours a week, 6 hours a week or 4 hours a week. They work with you, when you're nearing the end you have the choice to go for a full-on intensive, book another round of semi-intensive, or switch to weekly lessons all subject to the availability of you and the instructor.

In small doses, this maybe the thing for you. All our semi-intensives do require payment in full to secure your booking.

Semi intensives do not include test day.

How our intensive courses work. 

Well, firstly we need to hear from you, the client. In order for us to figure out what course will benefit you, we will need to do a 2 hr assessment lesson to gauge your driving knowledge and abilities and figure out what course will benefit you. However, we do not book anyone in for a course or an assessment lesson unless you have passed your Theory test first.

BubbLe Driving School will also be able to source your driving test, but it's worth noting this isn't included in your course price. If you should want us to find you a driving test we can do so However you will need to pay the DVSA test fee on top of your course Deposit. Driving tests are hard to get hold of so, in this instance all clients must be available for a test date that is offered.

Now it is worth noting that we will do our hardest to teach you everything about driving and get you to test standard, road readiness, and competent in driving, but it's not a guarantee, as most people learn at different rates, and some may struggle some may be fast learners, some may need additional lesson on top of their course.

So how do I secure the course dates I have been offered and pay for them?

After having your assessment lesson, you will need to decide if you want to go ahead with the course dates offered.

If you want to go ahead, you will need to email the office to confirm, and a time to call to process your deposit. We will require a 25% course deposit within 48 hours of completing your assessment lesson if you want to guarantee the dates offered.

As these are quick turnarounds for intensive course bookings, so if we don't hear from you the dates offered may get to another person and you'll lose those dates.

The outstanding balance of the course can be spread out over 3 payments every 4 weeks to, however, the balance must be paid a cleared in full a minium of 28 days before the course begins Unless you have a short notice course, in which case the full course fee will be due within 48 hours of your assessment lesson to book in and secure our short notice course dates. Once your deposit or full course fee is paid the course dates are not changeable, Also if we have secured a driving test on your behalf these are not changeable. If you should cancel your course after paying your deposit your course deposit fee or deposited amount is non-refundable and the course is canceled.

This is due to the fact-intensive courses whilst more expensive than normal driving lessons, take a great deal of planning and take a large chunk out of driving instructors working week dairy. Because of this we strongly advise only those who are dedicated to wanting an intensive course to book them.

How quickly can I take my Intensive Course/Driving test and how do you balance the waiting times between course completion and test date?

Our courses will run from 3-11 days over 1/2/3/4 weeks during the daytime only. We do have dedicated instructors who teach them but it's worth noting they do get booked months in advance. so we want to work with you and make sure to give you the tools to try and pass your driving test the first time. Remember only you can succeed, but we can train you the skills. 

Secondly driving tests, we all know since covid, that driving test waiting times are national around 6 months, again another reason we want you to try and pass the first time. Test waiting times are beyond our control.

Our intensive course always has a minimum gap of 3-8 weeks from the end of the course, to sit your driving test. This is for the simple reasons

If a client needs additional lessons you can book these with your course instructors,
National test waiting times.
