Intensive courses and guaranteed pass

There are big differences between intensive and so called guaranteed pass driving courses and before you pay any money and commit to either one you should be sure of what you are getting for your money before deciding that it is the right course for you and your needs.

The myths and the truths about guaranteed pass courses

I get a lot of people contact me saying they want to do a "guaranteed pass" course as they are in a hurry to pass as quickly as possible. These courses are over no set time scale so they are not really suitable for those in a rush to pass. The problem is that NO instructor or driving school can guarantee a pass as we are not the ones who examine you on your test nor are we the ones taking the test for you. So passing your driving test is down to you and your decisions alone. On your driving test can you:

Guarantee that you will drive perfectly for the whole 40 minutes without making one serious driving fault?
Guarantee that you will handle every situation that might possibly occur on the road in the right way?

The answer is no. Basically what these courses normally offer is either that after the initial payment all training will be free or some schools might offer a cash back in the result of your failure to pass first time. I have seen these courses costing as much as £2200!!! Make sure you completely understand what you get for your price before you sign up for any course.

What I offer is a "One price" course where after an initial 1 hour assessment lesson together we will work out how many lessons you would probably need to pass your test successfully and I will give you a price for this course.

The benefits of my "One Price" course and the initial for the assessment lesson is:

It will give you a chance to make sure that I am the right person to help you achieve your goal as there can be nothing worse than being stuck with someone you don't get on with? (once you pay for your course not many schools will refund any money paid).
Also rather than charge you an absurd amount of money for lessons you might not need I will give you a price based on your experience so you will NOT pay over the odds.
Once I have set a price this will include ALL tuition you need until you pass your test. (All test fees are NOT included in my price and must be paid for by you.

So what is an intensive course?

Intensive courses are for those who are in a hurry to pass as quickly as possible, these are also for a set fee to be paid up front and are for a prior agreed amount of hours with the possibility of a test at the end of it. As with guaranteed courses what is on offer varies from school to school so be sure to check what you get for your money. These courses are normally conducted over a 1 or 2 week schedule though I also offer a semi intensive option spreading your lessons over a longer period. I would also recommend an initial assessment lesson prior to booking an intensive course to be sure that you receive the necessary amount of hours to be ready for your test.

The benefits of intensive courses are:

All lessons are taken over a short period ideal for those who wish to pass in a short space of time.
Ideally for people who have already taken and passed there theory test.
Ideally for people with some prior driving experience though not essential.

My Intensive courses DO NOT come with any guarantee of a pass or even you taking your test if you have not reached the required standard in time and No test fees are included.
