One-week intensive driving course in Motherwell

A one-week intensive in Motherwell compresses 20–30 hours of tuition into five consecutive days, with the practical test usually sitting at Hamilton DVSA Test Centre 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 A8 (Newhouse) on Wednesday.

The week-long format suits pupils with 15+ hours of prior tuition. Beginners in Motherwell 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 ML1, ML2. 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 Motherwell and the North Lanarkshire area.
