Why Intensive Driving Courses Work Well in Barnes

An intensive course from Barnes is best booked as two-hour sessions, because the test centres are seven to eight miles away and the journey there covers roads Barnes does not have.

We check availability at Tolworth and Morden before scheduling and work backwards from the earliest date.

Two-hour lessons as standard

The distance to the test centres makes shorter lessons poor value.

The journey adds what Barnes lacks

Dual carriageway and roundabout practice on the way to Tolworth.

One fixed course price

The 30-hour course runs over one to two weeks at a single price, with a mock test included. Shorter top-ups are booked as 10 or 20-hour blocks.
