Can I pass my driving test with BIG TOM in 5 days?
Yes you can, Dulan recently had his driving test booked up for the 5th day, and even with a cancellation due to fog, he still passed his test after 11 days. – read his story here Shannon passed her driving test on the last day of her 40 hour intensive course after just 12 days!
What are your prices for intensive courses?
Our courses are bespoke, the length of course is matched to your needs. They can range in length from 20 hours to over 45 hours. We also provide flexibility for when our customers want to practice e.g. daytimes, evenings and/or weekends – so the pricing slightly varies. A 20 hour driving course with all of our test fees included ( 1 x theory, 2 x practical) is an extremely competitive £1320 for a daytime course. If you have already booked your practical test you can automatically save £264 from that price! Yes, that is correct, a 20% saving. We are happy to receive payment by credit card.
Are you still able to provide ultra-quick driving tests?
Yes we are! On 30/09/2024 there were FOUR driving test cancellation slots that came available across the test centres that we use. FOUR!

Do I have to pass my theory test before doing the intensive course?
It makes sense to, because we want to get your practical test booking in the diary URGENTLY.
Is a Big Tom Intensive Driving Course enjoyable?
Customers enjoy the pace at which they learn. They go to test much quicker than the average of 7 months* with pay as you go driving lessons. [*Source:- DVSA]
Tom Ingram completed the Pearson BTEC Level 4 Award in Coaching for Driver Development in December 2016 and makes every effort to create a client-centred learning environment. This means that he is able to adapt the teaching style to suit the particular needs/desire of the pupil which leads to a more enjoyable learning experience.
Is it ok to cancel driving sessions?
Cancellations create delays, and delays mean you don’t get your licence so quickly.
We get results for our customers by organising things in advance.
If you want to cancel driving lessons – book “pay as you go” lessons with a driving instructor who doesn’t mind cancellations.
Why are your courses better value than others?
Our prices include THREE tests! If you don’t need the theory (already passed) we automatically discount the price.
The value comes in the progress in which you learn and that you are safe while you learn.
You want to learn fast? WE CAN HELP YOU! See here how Stan passed his driving test in July 2022 after just 8 days!
Do you provide driving lessons outside of your Intensive Driving Courses?
Yes we do, but such is the demand, only for Bourne residents. When this changes, we will be sure to update our communication channels. Driving slots are available Mon-Fri 9am-4pm @ £46/hr (no lessons past 5pm). Test bookings are made by the customer.
Do you guarantee that I will go to test on the last day of the course?
Read here how Dean finished the flagship BIG TOM Beginners course at 9 pm on a Monday, and took his driving test at 10.14am the very next day!
We make a provisional practical test booking on your behalf. All of our training resources have the goal of helping you achieve that objective.
But we do not compromise on safety. If you are not ready to take a test, we will help you until you are – guaranteed. But you can also see here with Kyle, Alastair, and Sarah we have demonstrated repeatedly that our customers regularly get their driving licence within days of completing their intensive course. We carry out authentic, life-like mock tests and if you pass the mock test we then source a driving test for you at your convenience.
How long does it take to learn to drive?
DVSA research from 18/7/17 states that on average pupils took 40 hours of training with driving instructors and 19 hours of private practice over a period of 7 months to pass their driving test – this is independent research. Further DVSA research from 19/7/19 states those figures as 39 hours and 21 hours respectively. We will confirm when you are ready to be driving independently. All of the DVSA literature typically quotes: 45 hours training with a driving instructor + 22 hours private practice – note, this is the AVERAGE time to pass a driving test.
What hours are the courses?
It is your choice! Do you want every day or spread over days?
Work alongside your commitments.
Typically 3-4 hour sessions, maximises the progress made which means you get your licence quicker.
Is it true that more people are taking driving tests in their own car?
It is now very common to see private cars at driving test centres, which is why we offer those customers a huge 20% discount on our prices, what we call our “Self Test Saver”. If you need some professional guidance to make the most out of your private driving lessons, we have a training pack that we have been using for our own customers for several years. Our training pack is available to buy separately and will help to keep things safe, reduce frustration, bolster understanding and motivation and can be delivered straight to your door.
