Why choose an intensive driving course
Intensive driving courses, sometimes referred to as crash courses, are becoming more and more popular. Recent studies show that intensive driving courses such as ours are a cost effective way of teaching somebody to drive a car due to its efficiency and convenience. You will be condensing months of regular driving lessons into a very short period of two weeks. You also are focused on your concentration as you are learning to drive on the roads all day. Back to TopWhat about the new Driving Theory?
Since September 2009 there is a new theory format with extra theory questions. We have 98% pass rate for our driving students as our students avail of special classroom training facilities, plus the hotels we use also have a 24-hour computer room available for theory training. Extra driving theory facilities are available for any student with learning difficulties. Back to TopIs a pass guaranteed?
Nobody can guarantee you a driving test pass. Skilled driving professionals from the Driving Standards Agency will examine you on the final day. They will recognise a safe driver and we strive to accomplish their expectations.Should you be unlucky enough to fail your driving test on your first attempt Omega Driving Courses will present you with a driving retest, including the vehicle, instructor plus your accommodation absolutely free. From experience though, very few have needed to avail of this option. Back to Top
How do your intensive driving courses work?
Our intensive driving courses work as we reach the set targets each student needs to achieve in the intensive driving programme. You are not repeating any previous driving lesson activity and the interactive disposition of our driving courses helps the student to attain confidence with all day driving and thus reach the desired driving targets. Back to Top.Where do your intensive driving courses take place?
Our intensive driving courses take place within a reasonable driving distance from Blackpool. Back to TopHow do I get there?
As Blackpool is the most popular tourist resort in the UK, there is a fantastic transportation network - rail and road, therefore travelling to Blackpool is easy and straightforward. Back to TopCan I have someone come and stay with me while I do a driving course?
Yes you can. The hotels we use will make a small charge for them but your B&B is included in the cost of the course. Back to TopI've never driven a car before, can I still do a driving course with you?
Yes you can. We cater for all levels of skill and your tuition would be tailored to suit your ability. Back to TopDo I need a photocard licence to do a driving course?
No, you can still take your tests with an old style paper licence, but you would need a valid passport as proof of identity. Back to TopI've lost my counterpart driving licence, does it matter?
Yes it does now. You would be refused for test unless you presented both parts of your licence. You can order a new one from the DVLA (www.dvla.gov.uk) over the phone: 0870 2400 009 and it would be sent to the address on your licence. Back to TopI need to do an extended test, can I do a course with you?
Yes you can. We would advise that you get your theory test first though then come to us for a short course where we would have your test pre-booked for you. You would have to pay an extra test fee of £56.50 for this. Back to TopI have points on my provisional licence, can I still so a driving course with you?
Points do not prevent you from taking a course with us. If you have driven for a while (legally or illegally) you would be taught the correct way to drive and your bad habits would be ironed out. Back to TopI am dyslexic; will I get help with the theory test?
Yes, we would book your test with a voiceover on so you can listen to the questions being read to you. You would receive theory tuition with a qualified instructor at the hotel you would be staying at and can practice your test on the computers provided. Back to TopI have been taking lessons but my instructor says I'm not ready for test.
You have to be at a certain standard to take a practical test and you are not allowed to take it 'just for the experience'. The benefit of an intense course is that it can give you that final push you need to get you to the standard required. Back to TopWhat is included in the price of the course?
Unlike some other companies, the prices quoted on the prices page of the website is fully inclusive of your theory training, practical training, all your test fees AND your bed & breakfast accommodation. Back to TopWhat do I need to book a driving course with you?
All we need is your driving licence details and a small deposit. We can usually accommodate you at very short notice. Back to TopWhen and where will I take my driving test?
Your practical test will take place in one of the Driving Test Centres within the North West of England, taking place on the last day of your course*.*subject to reaching the required standard of the Driving Standard Agency Back to Top
