Our fast-pass intensive courses will get you on the road sooner!
Do you need to pass your driving test by a certain date? Don’t have time for regular weekly driving lessons? Our intensive tuition could be the perfect solution for you!
Wave goodbye to the slow lane
With traditional weekly lessons, it can take several months to learn how to drive. And then, even when you’re test ready, you might still struggle to book a practical test.
If you’re champing at the bit and need to pass before you start a new job or head off to university then our fast-track driving tuition is the perfect solution!
Take the fast track to freedom!
To help you turbo-boost your tuition, we run two types of week-long intensive courses in Lowestoft. Our first course is for you if you have no driving experience at all. The second is perfect if you’re a more advanced learner and have already passed your theory test.
If you’re a complete beginner, you can take both courses to go from novice learner to test-ready driver in two weeks! Or, after completing your beginners’ course, you can then choose to take regular weekly lessons with us until you are test ready.

Important note for beginners
The DVSA recommends learner drivers take at least 40 hours of practical tuition with an ADI before taking their test.
If you’re a new driver with no driving experience then, to stand the best chance of passing your test first time, we recommend that you take both of our courses.
Beginners’ Intensive Driver Training
Don’t have any previous driving experience? This is the best intensive driving course for complete beginners! Let us teach you the driving basics in 5 days.
Neither the theory test nor the practical driving exam fees are included in the price but you will get our free Theory Test Pro app to help you study for your theory test.
Test-Ready Intensive Driving Tuition
Our Test-Ready Intensive Driving Tuition is perfect if you have at least 10 hours driving experience and have passed your theory test.
Whether your experience came from regular weekly lessons or from completing our Beginners’ intensive course, we can now help you prepare for your test!
Or perhaps your current intensive school has let you down? So long as you meet our course requirements, we can pick up where you left off and get you ready to pass with our week-long test-ready course.
Intensive lessons made simple!
Passing your intensive driving test is difficult enough. We like to keep things simple:
One instructor
You’ll have the same dedicated fully-qualified ADI for the whole week.
They will be experienced at delivering intensive tuition at a pace that suits you.
You can learn to drive with either a male or female intensive instructor. They’ll pick you up and drop you off each day at the location you agree with them.
One week
Both of our intensive driving courses are delivered over five days from Monday to Friday.
You’ll have a two hour lesson in the morning then a short break for lunch before taking your afternoon lesson.
Lessons usually start at 10 am and finish at 2.30 pm but we can be flexible with these times.
One price
You shouldn’t have to be a maths undergrad to work out how much it will cost to pass your driving test in a week!
That’s why we have just one simple price of £1199.
You’ll pay £399 to secure your booking. One week before your course starts, you’ll pay the remaining balance of £800 to your instructor.
One instructor per student, one simple price – and each course delivered in one week!
What’s included with your intensive training?
1. Choose a manual or automatic car
Our Suffolk school of motoring has instructors who specialise in both manual and automatic tuition:
- Want flexibility and more control over your drive? You’ll want to learn in a manual vehicle. As a manual UK licence holder, you’ll be able to drive both manual and automatic cars.
- Prefer to pass your test more easily? Go for automatic tuition instead. Taking the clutch out of the picture means one less thing to learn during your intensive course.
2. Get a fast-track driving test
Included with our Test-Ready course, our Fast-Track Test Booking System will find a practical test at the Lowestoft test centre within three weeks of completing your training. To be eligible, you must have passed your DVSA theory test and be able to demonstrate a test-ready standard of driving.
If you’ve not quite reached this standard by the end of your course, you can level up your skills by taking some additional lessons with your instructor.
Fees for additional classes are not included in the course price.
3. Free theory test training
Still need to pass your theory test? If you are on our Beginners’ 5 day course you can revise and test your knowledge for free using our Theory Test Pro app.
The app will provide free unlimited training in your own time. You won’t need to attend boring group classes in awkward locations or join online meetings at invconvenient times. Instead, your instructor will be happy to explain anything you don’t understand during your practical driving sessions.
The app is available on both Android and iOS. Once you’ve passed a couple of mock theory tests, you can be confident you’re ready to book your theory test!
Theory Test fees are not included in the course price.
Our intensive driving course prices
We like to keep our prices simple! Both the Beginners’ Intensive Driver Training and the Test Preparation Intensive Driving Tuition are priced at just £1199 each.
Secure your booking with a deposit of just £399. Then pay the balance of £800 to your instructor one week before your course starts.
All your tuition is delivered on a one-to-one basis. You’ll never have to share your lesson time with anyone else.
What’s more, every minute of your tuition will be delivered in-car – no need to attend any group lectures in stuffy meeting rooms! We’ll make sure you get the hands-on driving experience you need to pass.
Driving test fees and additional classes are not included in our course prices.
Intensive driver training locations
Unlike the national driving schools, we don’t cover the whole of the UK yet.
We currently only offer intensive driving lessons in greater Norwich and the combined Lowestoft / Great Yarmouth area.
Depending on where you take your intensive lessons, your practical exam will be at either one of the Norwich Test Centres or the Lowestoft Driving Test Centre.
During your lesson week, we’ll pick you up and drop you off in the town where you’ll be taking your test. This will help you become familiar with the roads you’ll actually be assessed on.
Do you live in the Great Yarmouth area?
Our intensive courses run from the Lowestoft train and bus stations.
So, whether you live in Yarmouth, Gorleston, Caister, Beccles or Kessingland, so long as you are prepared to meet us at either location each day, we are happy to offer you intensive classes in the Lowestoft area.
Since you will be taking your test at the Lowestoft test centre, this will give you the perfect opportunity to get plenty of practice on the actual test routes!
Why take intensive tuition in Lowestoft?
We can give you four great reasons why Lowestoft is a fantastic place to learn how to drive:
- Plenty of quieter suburban areas such as Normanston and Carlton Colville. New drivers can practice in these areas without too much pressure from other drivers.
- Busier streets in Lowestoft town centre, providing plenty of opportunities for improving drivers to practice driving in heavier traffic and dealing with more vulnerable road users safely.
- A good stretch of A roads, such as the A12 and A47 – and even a decent run of dual carriageway if you fancy a trip out to Yarmouth. This is perfect for drivers who need to hone their skills on busier roads in preparation for their practical test.
- The DVSA test centre is based on the edge of town near Oulton Broad – you’ll be learning on the exact roads you’ll be expected to use on test day!
Course requirements
We’re proud to offer local driving lessons to the vast majority of learner drivers in Norfolk and north-east Suffolk. However, intensive driver training is (as the name suggests) intensive!
For this reason, we have a few conditions that you must meet before you can book one of our 5 day courses:
Beginners’ Intensive Driver Training
To book a place on our beginners’ week-long course, you must be:
- Able to take your driving lessons in Lowestoft, Suffolk.
- Prepared to commit to a training period of five consecutive days. If your schedule won’t allow this, take a look at our weekly driving tuition instead.
Test-Ready Intensive Driving Tuition
Our test-ready training is more advanced. In addition to the beginners’ requirements, you must also:
- Have passed the UK driving theory test. This is so you can book your practical driving test as soon as your instructor says you’re ready. Things move fast on an intensive course!
- Already have at least 10 hours driving experience.
- Understand that we can’t offer you a guaranteed pass. Intensive driving lessons are difficult – as is the practical exam. Passing your test is in your hands – but we’ll do all we can to help you stand the best possible chance!
If you don’t meet these requirements yet, don’t worry. We can still offer you regular weekly driving lessons in Norfolk or Lowestoft until you are ready.
Remember that intensive courses are not for everyone. If you have specific learning requirements, call us to discuss your options first as fast-pass training may not be best suited to your needs.
Finally, we’ll only book your test once your instructor is satisfied you have reached the minimum test standard. If you are unable to meet the required standard by the end of your intensive course, you can book additional lessons with your instructor at our standard hourly rate.
Not sure if an intensive course is the right choice for you?
In that case, it’s worth considering your options before making a commitment. Learn more about our regular weekly classes in Lowestoft and Great Yarmouth.

How exciting! Complete our online enquiry form to grab your spot.
We’ll call you back within one business day to discuss your needs and confirm your booking.
To secure your place, you’ll need to pay your deposit when we confirm your booking. You’ll settle the remaining balance directly with your instructor one week before your fast-track driving course starts.
Our terms and conditions
We believe in transparent communication. That’s why we want to be clear about what we expect from you and what you can expect from us.
To make sure we get off to a flying start please read our intensive driving lesson terms and conditions before you book.
Have questions about our intensive courses?
An intensive driving course is a series of day-long driving lessons, usually delivered over five or more consecutive days.
The idea is for the student to take their driving exam shortly after completing their course. This makes intensive courses perfect if you want to get your driving licence more quickly!
Accelerated driving courses aren’t the best fit for everybody though. Some of the intensive driving schools near you only offer intensive training. However, we provide the full range of driving tuition: automatic and manual weekly sessions, refresher lessons, advanced training and pass plus!
The breadth and depth of our expertise means that even if intensive lessons turn out to not be right for you, we’ve got you covered!
Typically, an intensive course will be spread over 5 to 7 days – but some courses can last 10 days or more.
How many days it will take you to reach test standard depends upon your existing level of driving experience, how readily you take to driving and – most crucially – the quality of your driving instructor!
Our fast–pass courses allow you to quickly gain momentum with your learning so you can take your test shortly after.
With the right trainer and the right course, fast-track training can bring you up to test standard more quickly than weekly driving lessons. Our fast-track test booking service will also find you a test sooner than might otherwise be possible.
Do you want to accelerate your driving tuition and pass sooner? Perhaps you want to get your licence over the summer whilst you are home from university? Or maybe you need to get your licence so you can start a new job?
Our intensive training is designed for learners who want to pass sooner rather than later. However, intensive lessons are not for everybody. If you are nervous about driving – or if you have specific learning needs – you might find a week-long course is too much. Call us to discuss your needs in more detail.
Every minute of your intensive course will be spent with you on the road. You will be trained on a one-to-one basis with the same instructor and the same car all week.
Intensive driving courses require long periods of sustained concentration. If you have specific learning needs, you might find that our regular weekly driving lessons allow you to learn at a pace that better suits you. Please ask us for advice before booking intensive tuition.
It depends which of our courses you are planning to take. You will not need any previous driving experience to take our Beginners’ course. We’ll even give you a free app to help you revise for your theory!
However, if you take our Test-Ready course then our goal is to give you the best chance of passing your practical exam after only one week of tuition. For this reason, you must have your theory test certificate before we can accept your booking onto this specific course.
Our goal is to deliver the best intensive courses Lowestoft has ever seen! Our local school of motoring has more than 15 years’ experience of delivering top notch driving lessons across East Anglia.
If you’ve been looking into the best intensive schools in the UK you’ve probably read quite a few complaints about how some driving schools let their learners down. Some have taken pupils’ money and not provided lessons – others have promised to find tests for test-ready pupils but failed to do so.
We do things differently at How-2-Drive. Firstly, we’ve built a hand-picked team of A-Grade fully-qualified driving instructors who specialise in delivering intensive lessons. If we can’t find you an intensive instructor, we won’t take your money!
Secondly, whilst most UK driving test centres currently have a waiting list of three months or longer, our Fast-Track Test Booking System is designed to get you a test within a couple of weeks! If you take our Test-Ready training, we’ll manage your test booking for you so you can take your practical shortly after completing your training.
Act now to reserve a place on your intensive course!
I have just passed my driving test first time and am over the moon!
I can’t recommend Howard from How-2-Drive enough. He helped me every step of the way and kept me up to date with my progress, I passed after just 24 hours of lessons.
