Why Automatic Intensive Driving Courses Are the Future — And How Automatica Driving School Can Get You There Fast
In today’s fast-moving world, convenience, simplicity, and speed are everything. We order food in minutes, connect globally with a tap, and now, we’re learning to drive faster and smarter than ever. If you’re looking to pass your driving test quickly and drive confidently on modern roads, automatic intensive driving courses are the way forward.
At Automatica Driving School, we specialize in helping learners get their licence efficiently through expertly designed automatic intensive courses—because the future of driving is automatic.
Let’s explore why automatic cars are rapidly becoming the norm, why intensive courses are changing how we learn, and how Automatica is leading the charge in combining both for the ultimate fast-track driving experience.
The Shift to Automatic: Why Manual Is on Its Way Out
Technology is Driving the Change
The motoring industry is undergoing a revolution. With the rise of electric vehicles (EVs), hybrid systems, and high-tech automation, manual transmissions are fading out. Most EVs and hybrids don’t even come with a manual gearbox.
In fact, major manufacturers like Volvo, Ford, and Volkswagen are beginning to phase out manual production altogether in many regions. In a few years, the majority of cars on the road will be automatic by default.
New Drivers Are Already Choosing Automatic
In the UK, the number of learners opting to take their test in an automatic has more than doubled in the last decade. Younger generations value ease of use, simplicity, and stress-free driving—and that’s exactly what automatic cars offer.
Choosing to learn in a manual in 2025 is a bit like learning how to use a typewriter when everyone else is on laptops. The world is moving on. It’s time to drive forward.
Why Automatica Focuses on Automatic Intensive Courses Only
We believe in teaching driving skills that are relevant, modern, and efficient. At Automatica Driving School, our exclusive focus on automatic intensive courses means we deliver a streamlined, stress-free experience tailored to the needs of today’s learners.
Here’s why we’ve embraced this model—and why you should too.
What is an Automatic Intensive Driving Course?
An automatic intensive course is a fast-track driving programme designed to take you from beginner (or near test-ready) to fully licensed in a matter of days or weeks, not months.
These courses condense the learning experience into daily driving sessions—usually 2 to 5 hours per day over 3 to 10 days—culminating in your driving test. And because you’re learning in an automatic car, you skip the hassle of clutch control, gear shifting, and stalling.
The Benefits of Learning Automatic — Intensively
1. Faster Progress
Without the complexity of gears and clutch control, most learners pick up the basics faster in an automatic. That means fewer lessons, less stress, and quicker progression to advanced driving techniques.
2. Less Stress, More Confidence
Stalling, rolling back on hills, and gear changes can frustrate even the calmest learners. With automatic, those worries vanish. You focus purely on road awareness, steering, and safety—which are the true essentials of great driving.
3. Real-World Relevance
Automatic cars are no longer niche—they’re the standard. From Ubers to company fleets, from city runarounds to electric family cars, almost everything new on the road is automatic. Learn what you’ll actually drive.
4. Cost-Effective
Although automatic cars are often associated with slightly higher test fees or insurance, automatic learners typically require fewer hours to pass. Intensive courses further compress the timeline, making the entire process more cost-effective overall.
5. Perfect for Urban Driving
Modern roads are busy, and stop-start traffic is exhausting with a manual. With automatic, it’s smooth sailing through roundabouts, traffic jams, and city streets—especially useful in areas like London, Manchester, and Birmingham.
Who Should Take an Automatic Intensive Course?
You’re a perfect fit if:
You want to pass your test as fast as possible
You’re a learner who values simplicity and clarity
You struggle with coordination or anxiety behind the wheel
You’re switching from manual after previous test failures
You’re preparing for a new job, university, or relocation
You’re planning to drive an electric vehicle
At Automatica Driving School, we’ve helped thousands of learners just like you get their licence faster and with more confidence.
How Our Intensive Courses Work
Step 1: Free Consultation & Assessment
We start with a phone or online consultation to understand your level. Total beginner? Had some lessons before? Previously failed a test? We’ll tailor the course to you.

We match you to one of our flexible packages:
10-Hour Test Booster (for experienced learners)

Step 4: Daily Lessons

Step 5: The Test
Once you’re ready, we support you through the practical test—from nerves to paperwork. Many of our learners pass on the first attempt thanks to our intensive training.
Common Misconceptions About Automatic Licences
“I’ll be limited if I only have an automatic licence.”
In reality, the number of people driving manuals is shrinking rapidly. If you never plan to drive a manual, why waste time and stress on it? With an automatic licence, you can drive 99% of modern cars, including all EVs.
“Manual drivers are better drivers.”
Not true. Good driving is about observation, anticipation, and decision-making—not which gearbox you use. In fact, automatic drivers often focus more on the road because they’re not distracted by gear changes.
