What is an intensive driving course?
An intensive course groups lessons closer together than a typical weekly schedule. The aim is to build on what you learn while it is still fresh. The right pace depends on your experience, concentration and availability.
Can I start if I have never driven before?
Yes, you can explore a beginner pathway. Start with the fundamentals and build up gradually. An instructor assessment is the right way to agree how much tuition you need; there is no set number of hours that guarantees a pass.
Should I choose manual or automatic?
Automatic lets you focus on steering, observation and positioning without clutch control or manual gear changes. A manual test gives you the option to drive both manual and automatic cars. An automatic test normally limits your licence to automatic cars.
Will you book my practical test?
You book and manage your own car practical test through the official booking service. In Great Britain this is GOV.UK; Northern Ireland uses DVA. Your lesson plan can take your test date into account, but test availability is separate from lesson availability.
How much will my course cost?
As a guide, 30 hours costs £2,125 in a manual car or £1,850 in an automatic, including instructor matching. We confirm your total before you book. Test fees are separate.
Can I learn near me?
My First Pass is being built as a national UK matching service. Local instructor availability, transmission and start dates will need to be confirmed before booking. The test-centre finder lets you compare nearby options before building your learning plan.
