One
Week Pass Course
The One Week Pass Course usually starts on Sunday or Monday
and finishes on Friday. It is ideal for those who are in
a hurry, who could not otherwise find the time. The driving
test would usually be organised to take place at the end of the week
or during the following week depending on your personal preference. If
you want a test at the end of the course you would need to book the
course and pass the theory test well in advance of the required start
date (i.e. at least one month in advance). However, occasionally short
notice driving tests can be arranged.
The in-car training provided is 30 hours on a one pupil to one
instructor basis. (This includes 2 hours for attending the
driving test). When you add the home study, using the LD driving
skills videos and workbook, the total duration of this course is
around 40 hours.
Residential one week courses are also available at a picturesque location near to Worcester with good accommodation from just £20 per night including breakfast and video facilities. The LD System materials are provided in advance of the start date so that they can be studied before as well as during the one week course . Please note these courses are very popular and limited in number.
Semi-intensive Pass Course
The Semi-intensive Pass Course is identical in content to the One Week
Pass Course above (i.e. 30 hours etc) except the training is spread
over two or more weeks to suit you and your instructor’s schedule.
This is the most popular and successful form of intensive training . It is designed for people who want to pass the test quickly but at a comfortable pace.
Midway Pass Course
For
those who have already learned the basic control skills
of driving we have the Midway Pass Course.
The in-car training provided is 20 hours on a one pupil to one
instructor basis. (This includes 2 hours for attending the driving
test). When you add the home study, using the LD driving skills videos
and workbook, the total duration of this course is around 28 hours.
Test Booster Course
For those who are nearing test standard and who just
need a short burst of lessons prior to the test we have the Test
Booster Course. It is also ideal for those who have had an attempt at
the test some time ago but haven’t had any lessons since. The in-car
training is 15 hours on a one pupil to one instructor basis. (This
includes 2 hours for attending the driving test). When you add the
home study, using the LDC driving skills videos and workbook, the
total duration of the course is around 20 hours.
Weekly Lessons
Learning to drive, using the LD System, can
be spread over several weeks and lessons can be booked individually or
in a block at a discount.
Lessons are usually 60-90 minutes long. Therefore, you would receive a
minimum full hour of in-car tuition on each lesson. Unlike in the
courses described earlier the LD driving skills videos and workbook
are not included in the lesson price, but can be purchased separately.
How many hours will it take?
In the UK people usually take somewhere between 20 and 40
hours to learn to drive.
How many lessons you need will depend upon your motivation and
aptitude for driving, whether you have had any relevant past
experience, and whether or not you can obtain any supplementary
practice between lessons with a relative or friend. The above courses
are therefore only a guide to what hours you might need based on the
circumstances outlined. It is not a guarantee that you will be ready
for the test; this will depend on your individual progress.
The best way to learn to drive
The best way to learn to drive is to take regular lessons spread over
a few weeks on a semi-intensive basis. Pupils using the
‘‘one-lesson-a-week’’ approach often take many months to learn
to drive. While this helps to spread out the cost you do end up
paying more in the long run. This is because you often forget what you
have learnt from one week to the next . You end up taking two steps
forward and one step back. Consequently, you take many more lessons to
pass the test. If you are taking just one-lesson-a-week you would
need to increase the hours you need to learn to drive by at least 50%.
Therefore if on a semi-intensive basis you need 30 hours to learn to
drive it is likely that you would need 45 hours on a one lesson per
week basis. This is the real reason why so many driving instructors
encourage their pupils to take just one lesson a week and avoid doing
intensive or semi-intensive courses. However, the LD System
does help to overcome this problem because you can use the LD
materials to remind you of what you did during the last lesson while
preparing for the next. The materials are also extremely useful if you
are able to get any supplementary practice between lessons as they can
be used to guide the relative or friend who supervises you. Again this
supplementary practice helps to overcome the problem of taking too
long and paying more than you need as a consequence of only taking one
lesson per week.
