Is the test booked at the end of week 4?

Usually. We aim to align the test at Aberdeen (Cove) with the end of week 3 or 4 once we've assessed your pace after the first week.

How does the price compare?

Same price per hour as a true intensive — you're paying for the hours, not the compression.

Can I switch from weekly lessons to semi-intensive?

Yes — many Aberdeen pupils start weekly and convert once a test slot is in sight.

Semi-intensive driving course in Aberdeen

Semi-intensive in Aberdeen is the middle road — full intensive hours, but spread across three to four weeks instead of compressed into 10–14 days. It works for pupils who can't take a full block of leave but want significantly faster progress than weekly lessons.

Most pupils who pick this format in Aberdeen are working full-time and can spare a couple of evenings plus a weekend lesson — that's typically enough to compress what would have been a six-month weekly course into about four weeks.

Garthdee routes lean on Bridge of Dee and Anderson Drive; Cove routes use the A956 and the residential streets around Loirston and Charleston. Semi-intensive gives us time to drill that route style without burning you out the way a true 5-day intensive would.

Who this is for: Working pupils, parents, and anyone who wants intensive results without taking annual leave.
