Our Biggest Course – The Complete Beginner’s Intensive

Our most comprehensive option is the Complete Beginner’s Intensive Course, which generally consists of around 40 driving lessons and can be taken as quickly as you’re ready to progress.

Learning to drive intensively can be a challenge for new learners, so it’s essential to be taught by an experienced instructor with a proven track record in fast-paced, high-quality tuition. Each Hotdog instructor is specially selected for their expertise in helping learners gain confidence quickly and safely.

What to Expect

With our intensive and crash courses, your driving lessons are scheduled right at the start of your training — often before you’ve even met your instructor in person. This ensures your full course is structured around the goal of getting you test-ready by your target date.

You’ll begin by discussing your previous driving experience (if any) and what you’d like to achieve. From there, your instructor will plan a bespoke learning schedule covering everything from basic controls to independent driving and test-day preparation.

Theory Test & Practical Test Booking

Before we can book your Practical Driving Test, it’s a legal requirement that you first pass your Theory Test.

If you haven’t yet taken your theory, we can help arrange your booking and offer guidance to prepare effectively. Our goal is to support you every step of the way so that your practical test can be secured at the earliest possible opportunity.

Although we can schedule the Theory Test during your first week of lessons, we recommend booking it in advance. This gives you more time to study, absorb key road rules and hazard awareness skills, and ensures your intensive course runs as smoothly as possible.

For the best results, aim to pass your Theory Test before starting your chosen intensive or crash driving course.
