Intensive Lessons Recensioni 

Rude. Unhelpful. Don't honor their money back guarantee. Awful customer service. They won't give a single f about your experience.

I’d like to start by thanking my instructor, Getachew, who was absolutely fantastic, kind, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. He stuck to the rules, explained everything clearly, and always made sure I understood the why behind what I was learning. He was also very respectful of my learning style and often asking if I wanted to try things my way first, and then gently guiding me afterwards with feedback on what could be improved. Thanks to his support and calm, structured approach, I passed my driving test on the first attempt, all within a month!

As for Intensivelessons.co.uk, they were quick and efficient when it came to booking my test after payment. Although my original test date had to be rescheduled due to examiner availability, they managed to secure a new slot for me within two weeks, which was a real lifesaver. Overall, the experience was smooth, well-organised, and I’d definitely recommend them to anyone keen to get behind the wheel with confidence and speed.

Fast tracked as described, was great at accommodating my theory and driving test.. definitely recommend

Very efficient, got a very good instructor (John Fegan)

This is in addition to the Review below. Their reply is disappointing and they have never addressed the legitimate concerns raised. They do make one important point though which I tried to highlight below - read everything very, very carefully before signing up.

Please be wary about going through this company. All it does is provide a link between learner drivers to local instructors. Lessons are provided on the availability of the local instructor only after a large outlay of money. It advertises itself as an intensive course which it is not in the manner most would understand. If you do nothing else please read the small print - their complaints procedure is appalling despite safety concerns being raised, including the instructor spending time texting and on social media during the lesson, which were dismissed without comment.

I was promised 35 hours of lessons for my daughter prior to the test booked by the company. We have had to chase the instructor by text for every lesson, and despite speaking to him and the company about scheduling in more lessons, my daughter was only given 1-2 lessons per week. She will have completed less than half of the hours paid for before her test in August. When I spoke to the company about my concerns they were dismissive and did not resolve the issue. A total waste of money - stick to a local firm as this is not an intensive course.

My driving instructor Peter, he has helped me so much and gave me the knowledge and skills I needed to pass, such a down to earth person and I couldn't have been given a better driving instructor

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!

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.
