Intensive driving courses Ripley
If you want to pass your driving test in a short time frame then Alpha Driving School can organise an intensive driving course in Ripley and up to 10 miles away, also known as crash courses. Intensive driving courses are recommended for learner drivers who have already had some driving lessons already, or would like to book a course of driving lessons over a number of weeks, having a good few driving lessons each week until passing your test. Some driving schools will advertise a week driving course, but if you haven’t had any driving experience before hand, they it is a big ask to pass in just one week. You will need to pass your theory test before being able to even book a practical driving test and there is often a waiting time of several weeks to secure a driving test appointment. An intensive driving course in Ripley may save you money in the long run, as regular practice makes it easier to get to test standard quicker, with less hours required in total.
Alpha Driving School offer the following benefits:
* Competitively priced.
* Good pass rates.
* One-to-one tuition.
* Free theory tuition.
* Intensive courses / crash courses Ripley.
* Pass plus courses.
* Motorway tuition.
Pass plus courses Ripley
The Pass plus scheme is mainly aimed at new drivers to help them become better drivers. It is designed to help gain experience in more challenging driving conditions, including on Motorways where provisional holders are not allowed. Consider this when you’ve passed as you can often get a big discount on your car insurance and no test is required.

Refresher driving courses
If you need to build your confidence and be safer on the roads, then you are likely to benefit from a course of lessons from a fully qualified driving instructor in Ripley who will be able to make you feel more relaxed in areas of your driving you may not feel completely comfortable with.
There are many reasons why people opt for taking a refresher course, including not having much driving experience, being new to an area and not familiar or comfortable with driving when you don’t know the roads that well, you may have had an accident which has knocked your confidence, it may be a case that you need to improve on your parking ! Whatever the reason you will likely find a refresher course very worth while and rewarding with a friendly instructor from a Ripley driving school who is fully qualified and easy to get on with.
The course can be designed to suit your needs and may include motorway tuition, possibly if required there could be some time allocated to practice negotiating roundabouts or on reversing manoeuvres. There is no set time scale on the course as there is no test at the end of it, it’s simply a case of having as much time to build your confidence and for you to be safer and happier driving on your own.
Motorway lessons
Alpha Driving School also carry out Motorway tuition. This may be for newly qualified drivers who would like some experience driving on a motorway as they are not permitted whilst only on a provisional licence. This is an option if you don’t want to carry out the Pass Plus course which includes motorway tuition (we are Pass Plus registered which may be a better option).
Living in a rural area motorways are not an every day occurrence, so having a little practice ready for when you do have you use them will not only be the responsible thing to do to keep our roads safer, but will greatly increase your own safety and your passengers.
If you’ve not had much experience driving on motorways and would like to have some professional training from a patient, friendly driving instructor in Ripley then please get in touch.
