Balpin Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I would think that any intensive course gives a higher pass rate, as there is less time to forget what you have been taught. It seems a good idea if you have the time and can afford it. As we all know, learning to drive only begins with being given your full licence.

DT Ralge Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 There's plenty of posts on here to suggest that such a course, if it could ever work, would only ever work with a VERY small number of drivers. Driving safely, knowledgeably, takes more time than just a week, even if the theory and practical tests could be organised in that time frame, and involves more than just passing a test of minimum competence. AND if an instructor has a spare week to fit you in, ask yourself how and why. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They way I passed was buying a car and getting someone to sit in with me while practicing as often as I could, which this course seems to offer.

And there lies the problem, you are more likely to forget much of what you were taught and then more likely to become a bad driver after passing your test.

How do you work that one out? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muddycoffee Posted October 29, 2011 Share Posted October 29, 2011 I disagree with this approach. I think that better drivers come from careful series of lessons over a period of months with plenty of time to dissolve the knowledge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
