We recommend you book early to have more access to better start dates and timings.

Intermediate – If you have some practice or had lessons before, then our Silver courses are best for you. These courses are designed to help you pick up where you left off so you can continue your driving journey. Ranging from 20 – 30 hours, the course will cover all the driving topics you’ve struggled with, so you will have better chances of passing the test and getting on the road soon.

Experienced – An experienced driver like yourself usually needs our Bronze courses. If you have failed a driving test before and need a quick refresher course to crack on with your test, then this is right for you. If you have lots of training or have not had much test training either, these courses are best for you to overview your driving and go over any bad habits, or areas of weakness, prior to your driving test.

Porthcawl does not have a local test centre. Taking a driving test will require traveling to other towns or settlements such as Bridgend and Swansea. Although this centre is far from your hometown of Porthcawl, all our courses will include instructors to take you anywhere from Porthcawl to these test centres!

Our main goal with all our intensive courses is to make sure all our learners will become pro drivers and be familiar with the area prior to taking the test!

If you need more information on different test centres, you may consider looking at our practical test centres index page.

A theory test is very important. Booking a practical test is impossible unless you pass your theory test. It is the first step in everyone’s learning journey. This too should be given emphasis.

All of our intensive driving courses in Porthcawl include a theory test. This will help you pass it before you start your intensive courses.

Porthcawl does not have a theory test centre itself. You can still your theory test at the nearest test centres that would be situated in Bridgend.
