Driving school intensive:
Learn to drive in 7 days
With our intensive courses, you can reach your driving license in record time. Up to 4 lessons per day, personal support, and flexible packages.
How the intensive course works
Get your license in four steps
Check prerequisites
You need a valid learner permit and a completed traffic theory course (VKU). Both must be completed before the course starts.
Choose and book a course package
Choose the right package (S, M, or L) and book your driving lesson blocks via our calendar. You can pick your preferred instructor.
Train intensively
Complete up to 4 driving lessons per day in blocks. Your instructor adjusts the training to your level. The flow effect helps you progress quickly.
Take the driving test
As soon as you are test-ready, we organize a test date. In most cases this can be done on short notice so you do not lose time.
Why is an intensive course worth it?
Researcher Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi showed in several publications that flow improves learning performance.
Flow means you are fully focused on what you are doing – active and concentrated. If you complete driving school intensively in a short period, your learning curve rises much faster.
With a classic rhythm of one lesson per week, much is forgotten between sessions. In an intensive course, you build on what you learned day by day – that is the key advantage.
Learning curve, flow, and forgetting curve
Why intensive blocks are didactically more effective than scattered single lessons.
In an intensive course, you train at short intervals. This keeps working memory active, helps automate routines faster, and creates a much steeper learning curve.
Due to the forgetting curve, meaning forgetting between long breaks, the development of self-confidence is delayed. That is exactly why it makes sense to complete driving training intensively and in short intervals.
- Steeper learning curve: more consistent driving practice per unit of time.
- Less forgetting: shorter gaps between lessons reduce learning loss.
- Better test readiness: skills remain more stable and retrievable under pressure.
Didactically grounded
Dario Lichtensteiger
The intensive method is based on principles from adult education, learning psychology, and transfer didactics.
Professional background: Master of Advanced Studies in Adult and Professional Education, with a master's thesis on driving competence and the development of driving skills.
Which course is right for me?
The number of lessons you need depends on several factors. Here is an example:
What to keep in mind
Do not underestimate test level
Maneuvers often work better in familiar surroundings than during the official test. Stress can lead to decisive mistakes. One week before the test, honestly assess whether you are truly in your comfort zone – including dense traffic.
Use the final days intensively
Once your test date is confirmed, the final days are critical. Get behind the wheel every day and drive as much as possible. Build the routines you need to drive confidently and consistently.
Do not register the test too early
We recommend not registering for the test in advance. Complete the first 1–2 blocks first, then plan next steps with your instructor. In most cases we can organize a test date on short notice.
The bfu (Swiss Council for Accident Prevention) recommends gaining at least 3,000 km of driving experience before taking the test.
Frequently asked questions
Can I pay in installments?
Yes. We offer installment payment via our partner PowerPay. You can pay the course amount in installments. Detailed conditions are available in our terms and conditions.
What is the cancellation period for intensive courses?
For intensive courses, a 48-hour cancellation period applies (instead of the usual 24 hours for single lessons). Reason: the large lesson blocks are harder to refill on short notice. Please plan your appointments accordingly.
Can I change instructor during the course?
Yes, of course. An intensive course consists of three to four blocks, and you can switch instructors at any time. Please observe the 48-hour cancellation period when rescheduling existing appointments.
Which course is right for me?
See the factor chart above – it shows which factors influence the number of lessons you need. If you are slightly above or below a package, that is no problem: you can book additional intensive blocks anytime, and unused lessons are refunded (if the 48-hour policy is respected).
I work full-time – can I still take an intensive course?
Yes. In that case we recommend double lessons (90 minutes). You can schedule one double lesson daily before or after work. Pricing is very similar to package pricing. The only difference: the free lesson from the 21-lesson package does not apply to individual bookings.
Can I stop the course if something comes up?
Yes, at any time. You can stop the course and get a refund for remaining driving lessons. Please also note the 48-hour cancellation period for already booked appointments.
Is passing the test guaranteed after the intensive course?
No, we cannot guarantee that – that would be unrealistic. We cannot predict exactly how many lessons each person needs. What we can say: we have very high success rates, and many students progress surprisingly fast with the intensive training method.
How does test registration work?
We recommend not registering for the test in advance. First complete 1–2 blocks and then discuss next steps with your instructor. In most cases we can secure a test date on short notice so you can take the exam as quickly as possible.
Can I sit in during another student's lesson?
Sitting in during another student's lesson is possible on request only. Contact us in advance if you would like to observe a lesson.
