Our number one priority is ensuring that our learners receive honest, effective driving tuition that gives them the best chance of passing their test first time.
That’s why we’ve made the difficult decision to pause all intensive driving courses across Manchester for the time being.
We know intensive courses have become popular in recent years. Still, the current state of driving test availability means they’re simply not realistic and in some cases, they’re even setting learners up to fail.
A National Backlog That’s Affecting Local Learners
According to the latest government statistics, the UK driving test backlog has now reached over 630,000 outstanding practical test appointments.
Some Manchester test centres are reporting waiting times of over five months with no signs of those delays improving anytime soon.
This means that even if you complete an intensive driving course in just one or two weeks, you’re unlikely to secure a test date anytime soon.
By the time your test comes around, you may have lost the momentum and confidence gained during your course leaving you at risk of failing and wasting both time and money.
We believe it would be unfair to continue offering intensive packages when we know learners can’t realistically sit their test at the end of it. Instead, we’ve shifted our focus to an approach that’s more flexible, affordable, and better suited to the current conditions.
Our Solution: Block Lessons That Work Around You
Rather than doing all your lessons in a short space of time, we recommend booking a block of driving lessons.
This gives you more flexibility with your learning, while still offering great value for money compared to pay-as-you-go options.
These block lessons not only save you money but also allow for a more personalised learning experience.
You can take lessons at your own pace, stay sharp between sessions, and focus on improving gradually, not rushing through to meet an unrealistic test date.
The Best Approach for Manchester Learner Drivers
By booking block lessons, you’ll still receive expert tuition from our fully qualified, DVSA-approved driving instructors, all based in and around Manchester.
You’ll also have the flexibility to build your learning schedule around your availability, with no pressure to cram everything into one week.
We’re confident this is the right move for our learners, one that prioritises long-term success.
