Intensive Driving Courses in Wirral

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!

I really enjoyed learning to drive with Alan, he was very patient and although I was nervous he put me at ease. It was easy to keep in touch with him about lessons, test times etc and I would really recommend learning to drive this way. I passed my test second time after 40 hours of learning so I was really pleased.

Norman Clough … Should you get this instructor, you’ve won the lottery. He is one of the most positive, forthright and frank person I have come across… You really, really need this when learning. You will “know what you need to know” and every comment is constructive and you are collectively coached in the most positive manner. It was a pleasure to be taught by this gentleman. He reiterates what you need to know, and has a world of experience and expertise, that gets absorbed by the pupil. If you’re ready for the test, your ready with this man. The internet and be a quagmire to organise something like this, but I can’t rate the whole experience from start to finish highly enough. In this day and age of “I want it now” …. You definitely get what you pay for.

I had a great experience with One Week Driving Course, definitely worth the money.
I did the 36 hour week intensive course with Mike Cockayne, who was a great instructor. He made the week fun and easy to learn. On the many occasions I made a mistake he explained in full detail so I could try to avoid making the same mistakes.
With Mikes help I felt fully prepared and ready for the test at
