When it comes to choosing an intensive provider, we understand that you may have some reservations. We want to ensure you we run on a few key principles on how we operate and manage our courses:
The first stage in the booking process is working out which course you need. Firstly, if you need advice or help on deciding which course is best for you, you can go to our courses page, call us on 0800 112 3515 (to speak to a team member) or you can use our unique course recommender quiz to decide which course is best for you based upon the answers you put in!
Once you have chosen the best course for you, then the rest is easy. If you need a theory included within your course that is also possible. And the practical test is also added by default too. If you have a test already booked, we can also exclude this too. You can place your booking online here or you can book over the phone with a team member on 0800 112 3515.

As Northampton is such a large place, there are many parts you will practice with and come across. With many districts and suburbs, the driving test centre in Northampton is located near the Kingsheath estate which is situated in the west side of Northampton
The challenging parts of Northampton are the 2 roundabouts which are the Moulton park roundabout which connects Northampton to Kettering to the north and the Sixfields roundabout which is close to the M1 motorway and the A43 dual-carriageway connecting it to Towcester.
With other nearby towns, Northampton is the main town in Northamptonshire and acts as the centre for all retail, commercial and political for the county. Sometimes, you may have to go outside of Northampton because of the test centre waiting times in places like Kettering or Wellingborough.
