Intensive Driving Courses Stirling

Choosing the right intensive driving course requires understanding or your current driving ability. If you’re uncertain about which course fits your needs, here’s a breakdown for beginners, intermediates, and experienced drivers:

Beginner – Opt for Gold / Platinum Courses: Ideal if you’re starting from scratch. Our Gold and Platinum courses are intensive programs designed to help you pass your driving test much faster than traditional weekly lessons. Typically, these courses span 2-3 weeks or longer, which might necessitate taking some time off work or being available for significant parts of the day. We recommend booking early to secure your preferred dates ahead of time.

Intermediate – Choose Our Silver Courses: If you’ve had some previous driving experience or took lessons a while back, the Silver courses are suited for you. They’re tailored to bridge the gap between your past training and the test standard. Enroll in a Silver intensive course today to accelerate your path to passing the test and hitting the road soon.

Experienced – Our Bronze Courses Are Tailored for You: For drivers with substantial experience who may lack recent test practice, our Bronze courses are ideal. These courses focus on refining your driving skills, addressing any bad habits, and strengthening areas of weakness before your test.

No matter your starting point, we have a course to cover your needs and ensure you become a confident, proficient driver.

In the heart of the city, you’ll often find yourself driving along major roads such as the A9, which connects Stirling to Perth and Edinburgh, and the A872, a key route through the city centre. These roads are excellent for learning how to manage higher speed limits and understanding complex road signage.

Key junctions in Stirling include the Craigs Roundabout near the city centre, which links to the A84, leading towards the Trossachs and Loch Lomond. This roundabout can be quite busy, offering a good challenge for understanding lane discipline and timing.
