Intensive Lessons Reviews 548

These guys are complete scammers in my opinion

Everything about the process was outstanding. Intensive done everything, booked the tests and arranged the instructor. Was able to have both theory and practical passed in 3 months.

Desy, the instructor allocated was amazing. He teaches you how not to just pass your test but to also drive, and this is a massive difference. He was welcoming, extremely knowledgeable, and created a team mentality. He wanted me to pass almost, if nor more than me.

I recommend intensive and Desy to anyone starting this journey; this means so much, and there is absolutely no way whatsoever that I could have passed without either.

I was linked to an honest instruct Tom. D, who worked around my schedule and was very helpful and encouraged me. I would recommend this site a million times. Thank you guys!

I feel it was a waste of money. I waited 5 months to get a test booked, then a further 2 months to start with the instructor. The awkward thing is you don’t know if you are going to be compatible with your instructor.. I stuck with him as felt I had to but he wasn’t very professional, knowledgable but not a great temperament. I’m not completely new to driving so I can’t imagine what he would be like with a beginner. He was going on about more lessons.. I’d be ready after one more day of lessons… oh how convenient. After paying £1,200 odd I couldn’t fork up anymore. I felt so defeated I just cancelled my test. I am now going to have a few more lessons with a new instructor and wish I hadn’t bothered doing intensive! A week of precious annual leave gone too, just to feel low in spirit.

I looked on there website picked a package booked and paid for it no problem they sorted everything theory test practical test and the driving instructor perfect service had my theory test on the 14th of one month had the practical test on the 4th of the following month passed both tests no problem

WARNING Very poor experience - Avoid at all costs if you live in Scotland.

Our son booked a course of intensive lessons in Jan25. The course is meant to
last 2-4 weeks, understandable and acceptable it goes to 6-8 weeks. Its 16 weeks, and when they booked the exam they booked it in a different county - Angus, despite our son pleading with them to do it in Perth. He does not know Angus at all. Also the instructor assigned lives 1 hour away, and as he has a separate driving school, could only allocate 1 lesson practically every 2 weeks on a Sunday. He refused to pick our son up from home (too long a distance for him to drive) so our son had to make his own way to Perth (bus or us driving him there) for his lessons. It was ridiculous. Our son did not have the 25 hours of lessons that were paid for, and intensive lessons were shockingly poor at the lack of any support.Our son tried to cancel the test, but intensive lessons wanted £95 to cancel it and then additional costs for rearranging it (ridiculous for a company that suppose to offer intensive lessons). Our son failed his test today in Angus (super upset).

What a disgraceful customer journey experience for a learner driver to have in the hands of Intensive Lessons. Its shocking.

They failed to meet the sales of goods and services act. Tried contacting them about it, but they were not interested in addressing the issues. It seems they have little coverage in Scotland, and poor customer care service.

Note: The cost per 1 hour lesson with Intensive lessons works out at nearly double that of a normal driving school so absolutely no benefit going with intensive lessons - only stresses, anxiety and extremely expensive?

Avoid, avoid, avoid from very disappointed Mum and Dad

Response to your message - of 27May25
1. It was 16 weeks - from Jan to May - this is not classified Intensive
2. Our son has not completed the number of hours of lessons (infact the instructor still owes him a couple of lessons)
3. Our son specifically begged (yes begged) for Perth, as Dundee was a main city and too far away. The instructor even refused to give him regular lessons there, and after much pushing from our son he agreed to give 2 lessons only, with the fact that our son had to make his own way there (bus and train and back (2-3 hour roundtrip - own cost))
4. After you found out he failed, you offered 5 extra hours for £450 and a guarantee to get a quick test booked. How shocking is that - no empathy or care
5. We would think it is your responsibility to ensure that if the driver fails you immediately book another test for them, as part of the original amount paid. You left him high and dry. Again, terrible experience.

The company employs different kinds of people my guy is had was lovely 😍

Scam avoid at all cost

I booked an intensive course. I was hoping that I could book a few weeks off from work, spend several hours a day on driving lessons and get my licence quickly.

Instead they offered me a driving test in 5 months time and a 2 hour lesson once a week. I told them that I cannot leave work and come back and it's not worth me booking a whole day off from work just for one day. I asked if they could either give me my lessons in the evenings or offer longer, less frequent lessons. They would not agree to either demand. Now they are refusing to return my deposit.

Great service

The Intensive Lessons team were able to match me to a fantastic driving instructor who made me feel so at ease ahead of my test as well as bring my test date forward from August to April. Would highly recommend.

Intensive Lessons sorted me out big time. Needed my licence ASAP for a new job, and they delivered. Did a 7-day course, and my instructor, Paul, was a top bloke – proper knowledgeable and kept me focused. The fast-track test was clutch, and I passed no hassle. If you need to get on the road quick, these are your guys!

I decided to learn to drive later in life, and Intensive Lessons made the process straightforward and stress-free. My DVSA-approved instructor was professional and adapted lessons to my pace. The fast-tracked test was arranged seamlessly, and I passed with ease. A well-organised company with excellent service – perfect for older learners like me.

Intensive Lessons is legit the best! I wanted my licence before travelling, and they sorted me out with a 10-day course. My instructor was so cool, and the lessons were intense but super clear. I passed my test first go, and now I’m ready to drive abroad! If you’re young and need to get your licence quick, these guys are awesome.

Overall good experience, got me an instructor and test very quickly which i passed, the instructor David was very patient and gave good, clear instructions.

Fantastic service. They found an earlier slot and then allocated a brilliant instructor Gordon and first time pass too. Highly recommend!

As someone with a hectic life, Intensive Lessons was a godsend. Their DVSA-approved instructors are top-notch, and the course was tailored to my needs. I opted for a 5-day intensive, and my instructor, Lisa, was patient and thorough. Passed my test with confidence, and the fast-track booking saved me weeks. Professional service, would recommend to anyone.

I can’t thank Intensive Lessons enough! I was a bit anxious, but my instructor, Mark, was so encouraging and made every lesson fun. The fast-track test was a lifesaver – I didn’t have to wait months like my mates did. The course was intense but so worth it. I’m now driving to work, and it feels amazing! Fab company, 5 stars!

Intensive Lessons delivered exactly what I needed: a fast, no-nonsense way to get my driving licence. I’d been putting it off for years, but their 7-day course was perfect for my busy schedule. My instructor was professional, clear, and knew the test routes inside out. Passed with only two minors! Great service, highly recommend for anyone who wants results.

I was so stressed about learning to drive, but Intensive Lessons made it so easy! The booking process was smooth, and they matched me with an instructor who was DVSA-approved and super kind. I did a 10-day course, and it was intense but so well-structured. Passed my test yesterday, and I’m buzzing! Honestly, if you’re at uni and need your licence, go with these guys.
