Intensive Driving Courses in Swansea

The booking process was fairly simple – I called up and the course was arranged for as soon as possible within a matter of minutes. The tests were booked quickly, though some information didn’t make it through until I requested it again – upon which it came through straight away.

My instructor Alan was patient and informative, getting me driving round some interesting roads as soon as

Based my 10hr previous experience with an instructor and 15 hours in my partner’s car, I booked a 30hr – 5 day course, starting on a Monday with the test on the Friday. The booking process was simple and quick and I was assigned my instructor, Stephen Lee, within a few days of booking and sent confirmation of my test date and time on pretty much the same day. Stephen called to arrange my hours the week before my course – he was very friendly and calmed my pre lesson nerves and assured me that he would be able to help me build my confidence. And he definitely did just that ! Stephen picked me up on the first day and talked with me about my past driving experience and having assessed my ability / nerves then had me going through the basics, threw in a couple of manoeuvres and by the end of the day had me driving around Chelmsford with something close to confidence. On days 2 and 3, my confidence had grown enormously, thanks to Stephen’s constant support and coaching. He was very patient with my nervous breakdowns on roundabouts and dual carriageways and by the 4th day they had pretty much stopped altogether. The 4th day, Stephen had me carry out 2 mock tests, which he deliberately made difficult to give me a realistic idea of what I was going to face on my test. I failed both of these, but we then spent time talking about the mistakes and how to avoid them. On the morning of my test (Friday 1st December), Stephen picked me up early and throughout the morning kept me calm and focused – the test wasn’t until 1:35 so we had time to polish up manoeuvres and work on the mistakes from my mocks. At 10am, we got a call to say my test was cancelled. We carried on with the rest of the lesson, going over the requirements for the new test as it was now booked for the following week where the test would be in the new format. Stephen was so positive throughout and reminded me that this allowed me more practice time with loved ones over the weekend which was a real bonus. We arranged to have a couple more hours before the test on the Wednesday the following week in which I was able to show Stephen much more confidence and, incredibly, pretty calm nerves. Stephen had prepared me really well for the expectations of the new format of the test even though it was brand new. I passed first time with 7 minors! Thank you so much Steve! You were amazing! Could not recommend enough!

The course was an absolute pleasure to take and Stephen was very clear with his instruction and broke manoeuvre down step by step making it very easy to understand and learn.
At first, spending 6 hours a day driving seemed very daunting but Stephen made the days fly by covering all aspects of safe and practical driving. By the end of the course I felt very prepared for the practical

I took a 36 hour intensive course with Steve Leatherbarrow through One Week Driving Course. He is an excellent instructor and is very patient and easy to get along with. He gave me very clear and precise instructions that work on any car rather than teaching tricks that would only help to pass the driving test in his car.

I was due to take my driving test in Halifax on the last day of my course, but unfortunately it was cancelled the day before and rescheduled for 1 month later. Although it was not OneWeekDriving’s fault, Steve worked hard to find an earlier test date, a week later in Skipton. We even spent two days before my test driving in Skipton and getting me used to the area. I passed 1st time with only 3 minors.

Overall it was a great experience and I would highly recommend it.
