One-week intensive driving course in Edinburgh

A one-week intensive in Edinburgh compresses 20–30 hours of tuition into five consecutive days, with the practical test usually sitting at Edinburgh (Musselburgh) on the Friday afternoon or the following Monday. The format works because it removes the forgetting-curve between lessons — a Tuesday lesson is still fresh when you drive Queensferry Road on Wednesday.

What we focus on for one-week intensive in Edinburgh

Mon–Tue: car control, junction discipline, Dalkeith residential observation
Wed: Queensferry Road pace work and dual-carriageway joining
Thu: full mock test on a Edinburgh (Musselburgh) route, debrief, second mock
Fri: pre-test warm-up then test

The week-long format suits pupils with 15+ hours of prior tuition. Beginners in Edinburgh are better served by the 35–40 hour two-week structure — there's just too much to learn from scratch in five days.

Pickup is included anywhere in EH1, EH3, EH4, EH6. Days run roughly 4–5 hours with breaks, so you're not exhausted by the Friday test.

Who this is for: Pupils with prior experience, recent test failures, and licence resits across Edinburgh and the Lothian area.

If you take one thing from this page: don't book a course built for Lothian generally — book one built for the specific routes used out of Edinburgh (Currie). That's what we do.

If you're just outside Edinburgh — say livingston, falkirk, aberdeen — pickup still works on the same route plan.
