Start building your skills.
Work with your instructor on car control, observation, planning, decision-making and gradually taking more responsibility for the drive.
Our course recommender will help identify the most relevant route based on your current circumstances.
Which route fits you?

Build a strong foundation with 25 hours of tuition.
You don't need to wait until you have a practical test. Use a concentrated 25-hour course to develop your car control, road experience and ability to drive with increasing independence.
Plan your tuition around the test you already have.
Tell us your test date, test centre and previous driving experience. We can then consider the amount of training you may need and check whether a suitable instructor and timetable are available.
Answer a few questions about your driving experience and current situation and we'll help you identify a sensible starting point.
Learn to adapt as the road changes.
Lincoln gives learners the opportunity to experience very different driving situations within the same area — from busier urban roads and changing gradients to larger junctions and faster routes around the city.
Develop observation, planning and positioning while dealing with changing traffic, pedestrians, parked vehicles and junctions.
Lincoln's hills provide useful opportunities to improve speed control, gear choice and forward planning as the gradient changes.
Build confidence reading the road ahead, selecting the correct position and making safe decisions when junctions become busier or more complex.
Progress towards higher-speed driving where effective observation, safe following distances and earlier planning become increasingly important.
As your experience grows, your instructor can introduce different roads and situations so you can practise recognising risk, making decisions and adapting your driving with less help.
More driving. Less time forgetting.
Intensive tuition gives you the opportunity to practise more regularly, revisit skills sooner and keep building on what you learned during the previous session.
The aim is progressive development — not simply completing a set number of hours.
Keep the learning moving forward.
With lessons closer together, there's less of a gap between learning a skill and getting another opportunity to use it.
Skills can be revisited while the previous session is still relatively fresh, rather than repeatedly spending time getting back up to speed.
Once the basics become more secure, your instructor can introduce additional responsibility, different situations and more demanding decisions.
As you improve, the amount of help can reduce so you're increasingly responsible for recognising situations, planning ahead and making your own driving decisions.
Whether you're starting with the 25-hour course or already have a practical test booked, we'll help you identify the appropriate route before you book.
Before you get started.
From choosing the right course to what happens if you don't have a driving test yet, here are some of the questions learners often ask before arranging intensive driving lessons in Lincoln.
01 Do I need to have a driving test booked before starting?
No. If you don't yet have a practical test booked, our 25-hour course gives you a concentrated period of tuition to develop your driving before deciding what you want to do next.
Afterwards, you might continue practising in your own car with suitable supervision, arrange further lessons, or use a combination of both while looking for a suitable test.
02 How do I know how many hours of driving tuition I need?
That depends on your previous experience, current driving ability and whether you already have a practical test booked.
If you have a test date, tell us when and where the test is taking place and give us an accurate picture of your driving experience. This helps us recommend an appropriate course option rather than treating every learner the same.
03 Can I learn in a manual or automatic car in Lincoln?
We offer both manual and automatic intensive driving course options, subject to instructor availability in your area.
Let us know which transmission you want when you enquire so we can check the appropriate availability before your course is arranged.
04 Does an intensive course mean driving all day?
Not necessarily. Intensive tuition is about learning more frequently over a shorter period rather than relying on a single lesson each week.
Your timetable will depend on the course, instructor availability and your own circumstances. The aim is to create useful learning sessions while maintaining enough concentration to get value from the time behind the wheel.
05 Can I book a course if I've already had driving lessons?
Yes. Intensive courses aren't only for complete beginners. Learners come to us with very different levels of previous experience.
When you enquire, tell us roughly how much driving you've done and which areas of your driving still need work. If you already have a test booked, the date and test centre are important too.
06 Will all of my lessons be on driving-test routes?
The purpose of your training is to develop the skills to deal safely with different roads and situations, rather than simply memorising a collection of routes.
Around Lincoln that can mean experiencing a mixture of urban roads, junctions, changing gradients and faster roads as your ability develops.
07 What should I do if I want to start a course in Lincoln?
Start by telling us your postcode, whether you want manual or automatic tuition, your previous driving experience and your general availability.
If you already have a practical test booked, include the test date and test centre as well. We can then check the relevant instructor availability and course options.
