Yes. But when I was 17. Which was a long time ago.
Personally I'd 100% always recommend intensive courses. I did my motorbike test the same way (more recent).
The problem is you've left it a bit late. Summer hols is when most will do a test. But you should be able to get something in sept.
- Go on line now.
- File whatever you need for you both to get your provisional licences.
- Both book your theory asap.
- Download the theory test app.
- See earliest availability for practical test, then depending how far away it is book and plan intensive lessons around it.
- Go on line now.

Yep. Car Captain. John Mack used them too. I'd recommend them unreservedly.
Do not do your test on Hainault. Worst pass rate in the country due to the weird roundabout on the test route.

A Golf (for me at least) is the benchmark/Goldie locks car. I just meant a car that appeals to you and I wouldn't classify that Golf as an old car.
For the same money you could buy an 3 litre e46 BMW convertible...that would be cooler and more fun. Or you could buy a camper van. Or a single cabin pickup truck.
Kids mean you'll want 4 doors, >4 seats, a high NCAP safety rating, 100% confidence all the airbags work, etc. All of which puts some limits on what could otherwise be a fairly unrestricted choice.
