Our customers attend the course each day Monday to Friday 10.00am – 2.30pm
Online theory training 4.30pm – 6.30pm
Your pick-up point is the Tesco on Greenstead Road.
On day one, your instructor will take you to a quiet residential area to start with the basics such as getting into gear, starting, stopping and turning.
As the week goes on, you’ll work with lane markings, traffic lights and faster traffic joining from the A133, with Ipswich Road, St Andrews Avenue and Cowdray Avenue (A134) nearby.
The A133 heads east towards the University of Essex and Clacton as a dual carriageway, and the A12 bypasses the town to the north and west. Colchester’s town centre adds narrow historic streets, the Balkerne Hill dual carriageway and Hythe Hill, a climb with parked cars and oncoming traffic. This variety forms part of your intensive week allowing you to experience a variety of driving conditions as your confidence builds.
The practical test centre is on Grange Way, off Old Heath Road near the Hythe. Routes often run through Magdalen Street, Military Road and the garrison roads around Berechurch, which bring several roundabouts in quick succession. These will be covered in your intensive week.
