Get test-ready in weeks with one local instructor, a set number of hours and a plan built around your test date.

Key Takeaways

• An intensive course packs your lessons into days or weeks with the same Droober instructor.
• Courses start at 10 hours for a refresher and run to 48 hours for beginners.
• You must pass your theory test before you can book your practical test.
• Manual and automatic courses cover Nottingham, Beeston, West Bridgford, Arnold, Wollaton and Hucknall.

An intensive driving course in Nottingham costs from £650 for 10 hours with Droober. Learners with some experience may finish in a week, while beginners usually need two to three weeks.

Weekly lessons suit many learners, but they take months. If you need your licence for a new job, a move or a test date you already have, a Droober intensive course in Nottingham gives you daily lessons with one instructor and a clear finish line.

Is an intensive course right for you?

It suits you if

• You have a job offer or start date that needs a licence.
• You have had lessons before and need to finish the job.
• You can clear your diary for daily lessons over one to three weeks.
• You already hold a theory test pass.

Think twice if

• You have not passed your theory test yet. Book and pass that first.
• You cannot commit to lessons most days. Gaps undo the benefit of an intensive course.
• You feel anxious behind the wheel and want time to settle between lessons. Weekly driving lessons in Nottingham may suit you better.

Sort your theory test and test date first

You need a theory test pass before you can book your practical test, and the pass certificate lasts two years. Book your theory test through GOV.UK.

Practical test waiting times change from month to month. Plan your course backwards from your test date, so your final lesson lands a day or two before the test.

How the course works

Assessment lesson: your instructor checks your current level.
Course plan: your instructor sets your hours around your test date and availability.
Daily lessons: you drive on consecutive days, so each lesson builds on the last.
Mock tests: in the final days, you drive full mock tests near your test centre.
Test day: you sit your practical test with your skills fresh.

How many hours do you need

Refresher, for learners close to test standard: 10 hours.
Some experience, for learners who handle roundabouts and heavy traffic: around 20 hours.
Beginners, with little or no experience: 30 to 48 hours.

Your instructor confirms your hours after the assessment lesson. If you need extra time, you add it before test day, not after a fail.

“Learners take in more from two to four hours a day than from a full day behind the wheel. After four hours, most people start making mistakes they would not make on a fresh morning.”

Plan around Nottingham’s roads

A short course gives you less time to meet every road type, so your instructor prioritises the areas that cause test faults: tram lanes, the ring road, the city-centre one-way system and large roundabouts. See test centres and local roads on our driving lessons in Nottingham page.

Manual or automatic

You can take an intensive course in either. An automatic course often needs fewer hours, as you skip clutch control and gear changes. Read more on our automatic driving lessons in Nottingham page.
