The following Article discusses the merits and advantages of doing an Intensive driving Course as apposed to weekly lessons.

There are various ways in which intensive driving courses can be described;

Intensive driving course,
Driving crash course,
Accelerated driving course,
Condensed driving course, .
.... and numerous combinations of the above.

All of the above refer to the format of an intensive driving course. This type of course is normally designed to assist an accelerated format of learning to drive safely and preparing yourself for the test.

For the purposes of the article that follows we will refer to the driving course as an "intensive driving course".

The question is normally why would one consider an intensive driving course as opposed to the normal format of taking weekly lessons? The answer here is a relatively simple and borne out by the fact that the results of an intensive course in driving will be cheaper, more effective, and greatly reduce the overall learning time that it takes to learn to drive to the standards as set by the DSA for the driving test.

Let us examine why this format of learning is so effective;

1. On an hour by hour basis the amount of learning that takes place would on average be 70% more effective if you did your driving on an intensive course. Work study has shown that when we start a new task it takes us approximately 15 to 20 minutes to re-orientate ourselves and get fully involved, before we are back to the level of concentration that is required for effective learning. Furthermore, when we are about to terminate a task we start to slack off, and operate at reduced efficiency 15 to 20 minutes before the end of the scheduled task. These lead in and lead out times are normal in all work and study situations. This will mean that in a 1 hour driving lesson we will only fully benefit from this central half an hour of the driving lesson. However, if the lesson is 4 hours long the 'loss time' effect as a percentage of the overall time is much less.

2. The student's ability to remember from one week to the next, assuming that the student is having weekly driving lessons, also results in memory bleed off. On an intensive course the student will build on the knowledge which he obtained on the previous day. It is like filling a glass of water. If we have to fill the glass of water in small amounts over the year there is going to be a lot of evaporation during the course of the year. However, if we have to fill the glass of water over 5 to 10 days the amount of evaporation is greatly reduced.

3. If we apply the above logic to the instructor who is giving the lessons there is the advantage that his structure, can be adapted and maintained more easily because he is dealing on a day to day basis with the same student. The instructors ability to focus and remember the students weak points are greatly enhanced. When an instructor sees a student with long time period gaps, in between, and in the course of the week possibly as many as 30 other students, he has very little chance of retaining the detailed data relating to a specific student. Therefore the instructors ability to deal with a student on intensive course is also greatly improved.

4. Because an intensive course requires both the student and the instructor to focus on the task at hand, over longer periods of time, we can therefore expect the overall time taken to reach the required standard is greatly facilitated by an intensive course.

5. Studies have further shown that students prefer to do intensive courses, accelerated courses, above spread out courses. There is an abundance of literature and studies that support this.

It is our experience and considered opinion that when a student embarks on an intensive driving course his ability to complete the course in less time is guaranteed. Students who embark on intensive driving courses are also much more likely to complete their course than students who have dragged out course extending over a year or more.

The time-saving of an intensive driving course is easily 30 percent or more. Obviously resulting in less trauma and overall cost savings.
