Q. Can I book my driving test for any driving test centre even if it is not my local driving test centre?
A. Yes you can book your driving test for any driving test centre in or around Manchester or outside of Manchester but there would be extra costs involved if you book a driving test appointment that is outside of your local area.

If your allocated intensive instructor turns up to provide your lesson and 30 minutes has passed and you are not there for your intensive lesson you would loose that days training.

A. Yes but there would be extra charges involved if you require driving test cover for an out of area driving test.

Q. Will my intensive course lessons start from outside my home address?
A. Our intensive courses currently start from outside one of the locations listed above.

Q. What would happen if I accidently give the wrong driving test appointment time when I book my intensive course?
A. If you give the wrong driving test appointment when booking your course and don’t notify anyone until near or on the day of your driving test e.g. you realise that your test is an hour later than you confirmed it was – it is likely that you would end up with no driving test cover. Our intensive instructors book their schedules in advance and wouldn’t be able to cancel somebody short notice because you had not given the correct time of your driving test appointment. If this happens the final test hour would become a practice hour instead.

Q. I have noticed that intensive courses are referred to by many names does this have any significance regarding the type of training being offered?
A. Intensive driving courses are advertised in many ways some of these include:
A one week driving course, a one to one driving course, a fast pass driving course, an intensive driving crash course, a North West driving crash course, a 1 / 2 / 3 / 4 / 5 / 6 / 7 day crash course Manchester, semi intensive driving lessons, intensive driving lessons Manchester etc.
The above names are all ways of referring to the general intensive course service whereby an individual books a driving test and then learns to drive over a shorter period of time e.g. over a few weeks as opposed to a few months or more.

Q. Can my intensive lessons be spread out instead of being scheduled for over one week only?
A. Yes you could for e.g. undertake one intensive lesson per week over 6 weeks. (Dependant upon instructor availability at the time that you enquire)

Q. Who will be delivering my intensive lesson course?
A. We have instructors who specialise in providing intensive lessons. They are licenced by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency.

Manchester Driver Training advises that no matter what company you decide to choose to provide your intensive driving crash course, always make sure that you know how much each intensive training hour costs.

Manchester Driver Training’s intensive driving crash course prices are open and transparent so that you know what you are paying for before you pay for it.

We hope that you enjoy your intensive driving course and we wish you every success on the day of your driving test.
