Intensive driving courses in Birmingham
If you are looking for an intensive driving course in Birmingham that will help you to pass fast, we can help you. With most of our intensive driving courses, we usually recommend you take an assessment lesson first. This will allow your instructor to assess your ability and recommend a suitable course that works for you, and it will also give you the best possible chance of passing first time.
We can help you pass quickly or by a certain deadline; most learner drivers taking an intensive course with us pass in just 1-6 weeks. The length of your course will depend on any previous experience and your current driving ability, which is why our 2-hour assessment lesson is so helpful. After your assessment, your instructor will plan and tailor a course to your needs.

Shahid is an excellent instructor. He is patient and takes his time to make the teaching individualized to the learner's need.
He makes the process look simple and helps effectively with test nerves as well.
I cannot recommend him enough.
I passed with one minor. Thanks.
I have loved learning with Shahid and it was a great experience. Thank you for all of your help and it was fantastic to pass
Thank you to drive Johnsons for getting me through my test. Having anxiety I felt like I would never do it but with all of my instructors patience and perseverance I managed to pass.
Fantastic was the only way to describe this experience as every part was great and Shahid is an amazing instructor so I would recommend this to anyone
I failed my test 4 times so I thought a fresh start would help me, well I was rite. The instructor said she was very pleased with me and my progress and I got 0 minor faults which I was so shocked at. She was top dog :)
Passed 1st time after 22 hours with Winston. Really great driving instructor who will help you no matter what your ability is!
Really struggled with my lessons for a long time, finally went with Mark and actually became committed to lessons from enjoying them so much! Now I have passed and got my license - if you are nervous or beginning, confident or advanced at driving, I promise that Mark is a great choice.
My instructor was great easy to understand, easy to get on with, very understanding and was very patient with me.
Thank you drive Johnsons you have made my learning very positive I passed recently.
Having autism and being a really panicky pupil I asked for a female instructor. who the lovely lady in the office paired me up with. She met my all my requirements and was very friendly and helped me with all my needs to then go on and pass my test
I have passed my driving test first time all thanks to Mark. I enjoy how happy and easy to get along he is but at the same still professional. I would recommend anybody to have lessons with Mark.
Shahid is a great instructor and I am so happy to have learnt with him
I have driven for nearly 25 years but always to scared to go on the motorway. Now my daughter and grandchildren have moved far I decided its time to do it. I got an instructor to do 6 hours of motorways with me as I felt at ease knowing I had there attention to detail and could avoid mistakes as much as possible. So glad I have finally done this.
I tried manual but I could not get on with is so I thought I would try automatic, same problem, so went to a new manual instructor, had 15 hours and passed my test cheers mate.
Finally said goodbye to my green license after passing my test, cant wait to receive my lovely Pink full UK License with a massive great big thank you to Azad!!
Learning with Shahid was great and super simple. He made sure all of my bookings were sorted and it was great to have his efficiency
My instructors teaching skills were rite on point, he explained everything into great details so I could understand. He helped me study my theory test whilst I was learning to drive. Cheers dude you were great!!
I passed my driving test first time with Mark, with only 2 minors. I'm overjoyed and would recommend him to anyone. Thank you Mark.
Would definitely be recommending Driving Johnsons to my friends and any one else wanting to learn to drive. Great help.
I lost my licence a while ago, and have just recently been allowed to retake my test and that. Cos of bad habits I thought I’ll do some lessons 1st. When I called them they didn’t force me into starting all over again or doing a load of hours, they just recommended me to do a few hours with the instructor and see what I need to fix up on. Only took me 5 hours and I passed my test again.
My instructor was not only friendly but I feel like we have built a very good friendship because she was so helpful. And friendly.
Great guy, got my through my lessons proper quickly - cheers son!!
Passed my test in Birmingham with a really friendly instructor. She spoke to me slowly and explained everything in great detail I then went on and passed my test.
I had a great time learning to drive with Mark Johnson, and I will recommend him to anyone after an instructor.
