Changed review so I don't get sued
Since I wrote my last review while angry, I thought to take it down and rewrite it. (Save me from getting sued for defamation. Which they threatened me after my "unfair and untrue" review. Which outlined my experience, and my OPINION, not fact.)
I paid for a £400 something (I forget the full amount) 5 hour intensive course, including test at the end. Had I have known the difficulty Intensive Lessons would have finding an instructor in my area for a test in Nov that they found, I would not have booked. I understand that I live in a small village, but I personally know multiple instructors, two in the village I live, yet I booked with IL in hopes that I could get my test passed quickly. Had I have known the admin fee (Which was quite a fair way down the Terms page on mobile) on top of the non-refundable deposit, AND if I wanted to keep the test it would've been an extra £143, for a test that costs £62, I definitely wouldn't have booked with them. I wanted to get my test and lessons booked and organised all in one swoop. I FEEL like they didn't do much to keep me informed on my test dates. I had a test booked for 21st Nov through IL, no instructors available, so they changed it to March 2025, without informing me, or informing me that I could keep the Nov test date and find my own instructor, which they do offer. But they didn't inform me of this, to my knowledge. (I have checked my emails, and have had no correspondence from them regarding keeping my test or the latest test change.)
I FEEL like they took my money (£210 - £175 non refundable deposit and £35 admin fee) and did nothing for me. I don't know what they were doing behind the scenes, so I can't say for a fact that they were doing nothing, but I FELT very unhelped. I hope if you use IL you have a good experience, and you can get your test passed with instructors of theirs.
(This is purely my OPINION, and HOW I FELT during the process of using the company, this is not everyone's experience, just my own.)
Very good and planned well

I highly recommend the Intensive Lessons company because David, my instructor trained me easily on how to drive safely with techniques, skills and knowledge of all aspects of driving on different roads so I have passed my driving practical exam for the very first time.

Simplicity hassle free method of getting from provisional to a full license.

5 star
The website was easy to use and they found me Moses from StreetStar Swindon who was a great teacher but also found a test for me in the time frame I needed so can't fault the websites service

Philippa Tilbrook-Heath Is a brilliant instructor very down to earth and after only 5 hours had me test ready I can’t thank her enough if you are local to Buxton look this woman up and you’ll get your license first time 😁.
Driving instructor set me up for success!
I’ve had the best possible experience with my driving instructor Marcia Connell! She was very patient, supportive and encouraging which only set me up for success! I was very nervous about it all but with the addition of her great sense of humour I never had a dull lesson! (Which is a bonus). I could not recommend Marcia enough! She gave me a lot of confidence to drive independently meaning I avoided the ‘new driver’ anxiety which I’ll be eternally grateful for!
Organisation around my lessons, information about the test, explanation in regards to manoeuvres were all amazing and only helped me progress.
Marcia is a great instructor
Learning with Marcia was great, she helped me pass my test and was an easy person to get along with.
Don’t waste your money!
Don’t waste your money!! They lie about finding you a test. They do not contact their customers so you are always chasing after them just for them to tell you even more lies! They never find you a test on the month that they say that they would on the website. PLEASE DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!!! There’s better websites out there.
I had a fantastic experience with Mike…
I had a fantastic experience with Mike for my driving lessons in Louth. He is a kind, patient instructor who genuinely cares about his students. Mike gave me the confidence to master driving without ever being condescending. Highly recommend him for anyone looking to learn in a supportive environment! The whole experience was smooth from booking to the finish. You rock Mike.
Terrible management
This company is terrible with managing course and booking. On multiple occasions I had to chase them up to get anything to happen.
In the end I barely managed to squeeze in 9 out 10hrs I paid for before turning up at driving test centre. Only for them to say they don't have a record. Working with them has been nothing but a pain. Best of luck to those who try.
Peter is an Excellent instructor
Peter is an Excellent instructor. Explained everything and gave great guidance. Quick and well organised from theory to practical test. Any help needed was given quickly and efficiently. good communication for any changes or next steps. Will advise others to use them.
Driving instructor made my driving independent and confident
before my lessons I felt very unconfident with my driving ability. After taking my lessons i was able to dive independently with complete confidence. Valentina Irimia my instructor was the best driving instructor i have had and she made it possible for me to pass my test. She was also very helpful with sending important documents to help me pass the test and with organising timings for my lessons.
