Intensive courses in York
York asks two very different things of a learner, which makes it a rewarding place to take an intensive course. Inside the walls you have narrow historic streets, constant pedestrians and some of the heaviest cycle traffic in the country, so observation and patience get sharpened quickly.
Outside the centre, the A1237 outer ring road is effectively a roundabout course — a long run of them, one after another, which is the single best preparation for the roundabout judgement examiners look for. Between the two you cover most of what a practical test can ask inside a fortnight.
We travel to York for intensive courses from our base in Sheffield. Weekly hourly lessons are not something we run this far out, so if you are after regular lessons rather than a course, it is worth calling to talk through the options.
