Duration Overview – What’s Ideal For You?
Our courses are typically divided into 3.5-hour sessions. While some drivers opt for a full 7-hour session, this can be challenging for those who are not accustomed to long periods of driving.
A popular choice is the 2 x 3.5-hour session package, especially among private clients. This format provides a break between sessions, allowing time to absorb and practice what was covered before the next session.
Longer courses – For those with more specific needs, we also offer 3, 4, or 5 x 3.5-hour sessions, which are ideal for individuals facing confidence issues or those who have been away from driving for an extended period. These courses are also ideal for those suffering PTSD-related symptoms after a collision.
If you’re unsure which course suits you best, you can begin with one or two 3.5-hour sessions and, if necessary, schedule additional sessions at a pro-rata rate.
