What are the pros and cons of hourly/weekly lessons compared to intensive or semi-intensive courses?
1 hour lesson every week – One benefit is the low weekly lesson cost, although overall costs may be higher as you may not be benefiting from block-booking discounts and training materials. Most pupils, even with busy schedules, can find 1 hour a week for a driving lesson. (e.g. – it is possible to learn to drive during a lunch break.) One hour a week may be a comfortable pace for some pupils; learning one subject at a time and giving plenty of time for home study and preparation. For pupils who have never driven before and are learning the basics, local roads are adequate and many basic skills can be learned in just one hour increments. Disadvantages – It will take longer to learn to drive. With a week between lessons, information or skills may be forgotten or become rusty. It may take 5 or 10 minutes at the start of a lesson to get back into “driver” mode. That is a large percentage of a one-hour lesson. This lost time will be nil for a second and subsequent lesson taken together. Als
