Intensive Driving Courses Watlington

When you kick off your intensive driving course in Watlington, you’ll start with the essentials and gradually tackle more complex driving scenarios. With its modest population of around 2,700 residents, Watlington offers a limited array of roads for practice. While it provides a solid foundation, you’ll likely venture beyond its borders to neighbouring towns with more diverse road layouts, including roundabouts, junctions, one-ways, and bustling streets.

While officially classified as a town, Watlington’s small population may lead some to consider it more of a village. Positioned near the Aston Rowant National Nature Reserve, it serves as a transit point for commuters. Expect your course to span across various towns and villages, potentially including Pyrton, Shirburn, Britwell Baldwin, Brightwell Upperton, Christmas Common, and Lewknor.

While you’ll spend a significant portion of your course in Watlington, be prepared to journey to nearby towns like Thame, Wallingford, and Didcot during your intensive week. The nearest driving test centre is located in Oxford, so part of your course hours will be dedicated to familiarising yourself with the roads in Oxford and its surroundings.

Our courses are perfectly designed to take any learner and make them test-ready. We have courses ranging from 20 – 50 hours and you can pick the best one for you. We always say that a learner needs around 40 hours of tuition in order to be “fit” for the test. The DVSA does stipulate around 50 hours and half of that on top of private practice.

We work with local driving instructors in the area who are knowledgeable in local villages and towns. They will pick you up from your home address and drop you off also. We can also arrange to pick you up from your place of work!

By the conclusion of your course, you’ll emerge as a confident and competent driver, fully prepared to tackle your driving test. Since Watlington lacks a test centre, you’ll need to venture to nearby locations such as Oxford or High Wycombe (pending test availability) to sit your test.

Your dedicated driving instructor in Watlington will strategically allocate approximately 3 to 5 hours of your course leading up to your test appointment. This targeted training ensures that you’re fresh and primed with the necessary skills and knowledge just before stepping into the test environment, maximising your readiness and confidence on the road.
