Benefits of an intensive course

Pass in weeks, not months

By practising daily or in close succession you can be test-ready in as little as a few weeks, ideal for urgent deadlines.

Better skill retention

Daily practice means you build on each lesson immediately — no forgetting what you learned last week.

Potential cost savings

Concentrating lessons can reduce the total number of hours needed, and therefore the overall cost of learning to drive.

Mock tests included

RED intensive courses include full mock tests on real routes, so you're completely prepared for the real thing.

Suitable for all levels

Whether you're a complete beginner or have some experience, our intensive courses are structured to your current ability.

No quibble refund

Unused hours are always refunded in full. If you pass sooner than expected, you're not charged for time you don't need.

Intensive course — frequently asked questions

How quickly can I pass with an intensive course?
Depending on your starting point and how many hours you do per day, it's possible to be test-ready within 1–4 weeks. Complete beginners typically need more time than those with some prior driving experience.
Is an intensive course harder than regular lessons?
Not harder — just more concentrated. The content is exactly the same as weekly lessons, but delivered in a shorter period. Many learners actually find it easier as skills are reinforced more quickly.
Can a complete beginner take an intensive course?
Yes — RED intensive courses cater for all levels. If you're starting from scratch, we simply factor that into the number of hours you'll need and make sure you're test-ready before booking your practical.
What is included in the introductory offer?
RED's introductory offer gives new customers 16 hours of lessons for the price of 14. This includes 1 hour reserved for your test day and the 12.5% per-hour bulk discount. Available on first purchase only.
Can I use the RED app during an intensive course?
Yes — all RED learners get free access to the Learn to Drive with RED app, which includes theory test preparation, hazard perception practice and lesson tracking. Use it between daily sessions to make the most of your intensive course.
