You’ve likely encountered mentions of RD2Success FastTrack courses, but perhaps their inner workings remain unclear. While you may have seen our successful learners proudly displaying their pass certificates across social media, the journey they undertook might remain a mystery.
This is where the confusion ends. We’re about to embark on an in-depth exploration of our customized packages, providing you with a crystal-clear understanding of what to anticipate and the comprehensive coverage encompassed within your RD2Success FastTrack course. Prepare for an engaging and enlightening journey!
What is an RD2Success FastTrack Course?
At its core, an RD2Success FastTrack course is designed to transform learners into safe and confident drivers in the shortest timeframe possible. We reject the traditional approach of 1-hour weekly lessons, as we believe this is insufficient for optimal learning.
With an RD2Success FastTrack course, you’ll enjoy intensive learning sessions ranging from 2 to 5 hours, depending on your preferred learning intensity.
Effortless Learning Experience
Learning to drive can be a complex process involving significant planning and organization. We prioritize your driving experience by handling all the administrative tasks.
Upon enrollment, you’ll be assigned a dedicated booking agent. This individual will assume responsibility for booking all required tests, maintaining regular contact to monitor your progress, and assigning a suitable instructor. They are readily available to address any questions you may have throughout your learning journey.
The course options
In addition to selecting a course by the number of hours, you have several options to customize your package. RD2Success FastTrack offers both manual and automatic driving courses. Begin by selecting your preferred transmission to obtain accurate pricing and recommended hour packages.
After booking, you can specify your instructor preferences (male or female) and preferred pickup location. While we strive to accommodate your exact preferences, minor adjustments may be necessary in rare cases to expedite your learning and help you pass your driving test as quickly as possible.
While intensive courses are our specialty, we recognize that this rapid approach may not suit everyone. If you prefer a more relaxed learning pace, simply request a semi-intensive course from your booking agent or instructor, and we’ll gladly adjust the lesson schedule accordingly.
Course Overview
Now, let’s delve into the core components of each course.
The beginner packages: 48, 40 and 35 hour courses
Beginner driving courses provide the foundational knowledge and skills necessary to become a qualified driver. However, the intensity and duration of these courses vary.
RD2Success FastTrack strongly recommends the 48-hour course for all first-time drivers. This comprehensive package covers all essential driving skills, from basic maneuvers like mirror checks and indicating to more advanced techniques.
While the 40-hour course is suitable for fast learners who can grasp new skills quickly and are willing to put in the effort, it’s also a viable option for complete beginners opting for automatic transmission vehicles, as it eliminates the time spent learning manual gear changes.
The 35-hour course is designed for individuals with some existing driving experience or a basic understanding of vehicle control. Learning to drive effectively requires simultaneous application of multiple skills, which can be challenging for complete novices with limited time.
The intermediate packages: 30, 25 and 20 hour courses
Our intermediate courses cater to drivers who have gained significant experience (15-30 hours) but still require further development to reach test readiness.
The 30-hour course provides ample time to refine fundamental skills and progress to more advanced maneuvers and roundabout navigation.
For drivers with basic driving competency, the 25-hour course offers the opportunity to tackle more complex driving skills. While existing skills will be reinforced, the primary focus shifts towards advanced maneuvers.
The 20-hour course is best suited for confident drivers seeking to master essential skills such as parking and reversing.
The refresher packages: 15, 10 and 5 hour courses
Our refresher courses are designed to revitalize your existing driving skills. Ideal for drivers seeking a confidence boost or needing to recap key areas, these courses are particularly beneficial for those returning to driving after an extended break.
The 15-hour course is ideal for honing specific skills you’ve already begun to learn. While not designed for beginners, it allows you to refine and perfect existing skills to a high standard.
For drivers who recently failed their test or wish to address minor bad habits, the 10-hour course provides a valuable opportunity to fine-tune their skills and ensure driving proficiency.
Understanding Driving Skills: Basic vs. Advanced
The terms “basic driving skills” and “advanced driving skills” are often used, but their precise definitions can be unclear. Let’s shed some light on these distinctions.
What we mean by the basics
The core of driving encompasses the fundamental skills required to safely maneuver a vehicle from point A to point B. Successfully navigating an empty car park demonstrates a solid grasp of these basics.
To achieve this level of proficiency, you must master the following:
- Mirror checks: Regularly checking your mirrors is crucial for situational awareness.
- Signalling: Correctly signaling your intentions to other road users is essential for safety.
- Clutch control: Smooth clutch engagement is vital for seamless gear changes and avoiding stalling.
- Accelerating: Controlled acceleration ensures smooth and safe progress.
- Steering: Precise steering is essential for maintaining control and navigating corners effectively.
- Changing gear: Smooth and timely gear changes contribute to efficient driving and fuel economy.
- Braking: Controlled braking is crucial for safety and avoiding accidents.
The order in which these skills are introduced varies depending on your instructor’s teaching style and your individual learning pace. Some instructors may progress quickly, while others may focus on building a strong foundation. Trust the process, and all these skills will gradually come together.
Getting more advanced
Once you’ve grasped the fundamentals of driving, it’s time to apply them to more complex road scenarios that demand forward thinking and intricate maneuvers. Mastering advanced driving skills requires a solid foundation in the basics. For instance, you shouldn’t be fumbling with the gearshift while attempting a parallel park.
Advanced driving skills encompass:
- Reversing
- Navigating roundabouts
- Anticipating and responding to hazards
- Independent driving
- Emergency stops
- Maneuvers: Turn in the road, Parallel parking, Bay parking, Pull up on the right, Reversing around a corner
During the practical test, you’ll be assessed on only one of these maneuvers: a parallel park, a bay park (reversing in or out), or pulling up on the right. However, mastering all these skills is crucial for confident and safe driving on your own.
