Intensive Driving Courses Cambridge

Cambridge, a bustling city nestled in Cambridgeshire, is renowned not just for its prestigious University of Cambridge, but also for its vibrant cycling community. It’s an ideal setting for taking an intensive driving course, thanks to its excellent road and rail links, including the A14, which connects the East of England and offers a challenging driving experience comparable to motorway conditions. This busy dual carriageway is perfect for those looking to master overtaking and high-speed driving, along with navigating exits to more rural routes.

The city environment of Cambridge, with its frequent cyclists, buses, and taxis, demands sharp driving skills and constant vigilance. This makes it an excellent training ground. As you gain confidence with the basic skills, your instructor will introduce more complex driving scenarios, potentially extending your practice to nearby towns like Ely, Newmarket, and Bury St Edmunds.

Surrounding Cambridge are numerous picturesque villages and rural roads ideal for driving practice. Villages such as Grantchester, Fen Ditton, Teversham, and others offer a diversity of driving experiences from narrow lanes to hill starts. These routes provide valuable practice in less populated areas, where you might encounter everything from horse riders to unexpected road hazards.

Towards the end of your intensive course, preparation focuses on the test day itself. You’ll spend these final hours familiarising yourself with the routes around the local Cambridge test centre, where you’ll likely take your test. Occasionally, depending on availability and specific needs of your course, we might schedule your test at an alternative centre. This comprehensive approach ensures you’re well-prepared and confident, enhancing your chances of success.

Choosing Cambridge for your intensive driving course not only challenges you but also equips you with the skills necessary for a wide range of driving environments, ensuring you emerge as a competent and confident driver.

At our intensive driving school, we cater to a wide array of learners, from those who have just turned 17 to drivers who need to retake a test after an unsuccessful attempt. Our courses, ranging from 10 to 50 hours, are designed to meet the diverse needs of our students. Every booking includes a free retest for both the theory and practical exams, ensuring that you have the best chance at success without additional financial stress.

The DVSA 2017 indicates that the average learner requires about 45 hours of instruction to become a proficient and confident driver. For newcomers, we typically recommend enrolling in either our 40 or 45-hour courses. For more details on our range of courses, please visit the course section on our website.

We also offer both manual and automatic transmission courses, subject to availability.
