Our Intensive Driving Courses

At Kent Intensive Driving School we pride ourselves on the quality of our intensive driving courses.

Our courses are designed to help our students pass their test as quickly as possible whilst at the same time giving them the skills and confidence to continue driving safely on the roads once they have passed. We work with anyone from the complete beginner to those who are just looking to hone their skills before taking their test or regain their confidence after having just failed a test.

Each set of lessons is tailored to the individual student depending on their strengths and weaknesses. If there is an area that you feel particularly uncomfortable with then just let us know! We understand that learning to drive can be a stressful time and our instructors have had years of practice of putting students at ease. We will let you know how you are progressing throughout your lessons and will be completely honest with you.

Instructors & Pass Rate

We have male and female instructors who can do manual and automatic lessons. If you have any specific requirements just mention them when speaking to us or on our contact or booking form.

Kent Intensive Driving School has a much higher-than-average pass rate when compared with the national average of 47% (Car Practical Driving Test operational statistics).

Through one of our courses, we feel that our students will stand the best chance of passing their test. All courses include at least one mock test. As part of this mock test, the instructor will go through the questions that will be asked at the start of the driving test (the show me/tell me questions). For more information on what is contained within the practical driving test please read our Practical Test page.

A Breakdown of the Different Course Lengths

Please see our Intensive Driving Courses Prices page for all of our course prices.

10-Hour Course

This is usually done over 2-3 days and is suitable for students who have had previous driving experience and are just looking to brush up on a few things.

We get many people doing this course who have had hourly lessons previously and are looking to now pass their test as quickly as possible, or who have previously failed a test and are looking to quickly take another test.

As part of this course, a mock test will be done to make sure the student is completely ready for their test.

15-Hour Course

This is usually done over 3-4 days and again is suitable for students who have had previous driving experience.

Students are likely to have had hourly lessons and be looking to get themselves up to test standard or have driven previously but have had to take a break and are now looking to prepare themselves for their test.

This course will include one or two mock tests depending on your preference and time permitting.

20-Hour Course

This is usually done over 4-5 days and is suitable for students who have had some previous driving experience, perhaps hourly lessons with another instructor (approximately 10 hours tuition).

As part of this course, most aspects of driving will be covered with the focus likely to be more on the manoeuvres involved in the test.

Usually, this course would include at least two mock tests.

25-Hour Course

This course is usually done over 5-6 days and is suitable for students who feel that they need to go through all aspects of driving even if they have had some previous lessons.

Included in this course will be all areas of basic driving, with the focus being on building the student’s confidence.

All manoeuvres will be covered and there will be several mock tests to prepare the student for their driving test.

30-Hour Course

This course is usually done in 7 days and is designed for students that have very basic knowledge or the complete beginner who has good coordination skills and can learn new skills quickly with a good level of concentration. 

As part of this course, the student will go through all the basic aspects of driving as well as moving on to the more advanced manoeuvres required.

Near the end of the course, a number of mock tests will be done to make sure that the student is ready for their test.

35-Hour Course

This length of course is for students who might take a little longer to pick things up, or for more nervous students.

As with the 30-hour course we will go through all the basic aspects of driving as well as moving onto the more advanced manoeuvres required.

Near the end of the course, a number of mock tests will be done to make sure that the student is ready for their test.

40-Hour Course

This is a bolt-on for someone who would like to take a little more time and take the pressure off.

The extra 5 hours can be used to allow more time for mock tests or practice anything that the student is not confident with or has been struggling with.

Course Structure and Booking

All our courses are designed to help you reach test standards. If you have a test booked, we recommend aligning your course with the test date for optimal results. Reach out to us through out contact or booking form to get started.

Having failed my driving test over 10 years ago, I was struggling with confidence and had forgotten a lot over the years, and kept putting it off. I finally decided to do an intensive course and am so glad I chose to do it with Kent Intensive Driving School! Pete was absolutely brilliant - so patient and kind, never once getting frustrated and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I’m so grateful for everything he taught me, and he ensured I was fully prepared on the day of the test and knew exactly what to expect so there were no surprises. I was so happy to pass first time and can’t recommend enough. Thanks Pete!

Ricky was my driving instructor for Tunbridge Wells. He was very kind and patient and made sure I was well prepared for every situation that could happen on the test. I passed in my first attempt thanks to his guidance 😊

I had an absolutely fantastic experience learning to drive with Jean. From the very first lesson, Jean was incredibly patient, supportive, and encouraging. Jean is a highly knowledgeable and professional driving instructor who explains everything clearly and makes even difficult situations feel much easier to understand. Every lesson was well structured, informative, and enjoyable. Rather than simply teaching me how to pass my driving test, Jean focused on helping me become a safe, confident, and responsible driver for the future. Jean has a very calm and friendly teaching style, and I never felt nervous about making mistakes because I knew I would be guided and corrected in a positive way. The encouragement and constructive feedback I received throughout my lessons made a huge difference to my progress. I genuinely had a great experience learning with Jean and would highly recommend Jean to anyone looking for a patient, trustworthy, knowledgeable, and professional driving instructor. If you want an instructor who truly cares about your progress, builds your confidence, and gives you the skills you need to drive safely and independently, Jean is definitely the person to choose. Thank you, Jean, for all your patience, guidance, encouragement, and support. I’m very grateful for everything you taught me and for making my driving experience such a positive and enjoyable one. Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I did a weeks intensive course with Ricky and passed first time after years of putting off driving due to my anxiety. He was a great, calm and encouraging instructor who put me at ease from the first time I stepped into the car. Highly recommend, especially for anyone who's a bit nervous about learning to drive. Thanks so much Ricky!
