1-hour lesson, 2-hour lesson or intensive courses?

Hmmm, big question, 1-hour lessons are the traditional length and allow for more private practice between lessons.

However, considering that each lesson will involve settling in, a recap and debrief it leaves less time for actual instruction and driving compared to a 2-hour lesson.

2-hour lessons do need a longer attention span and won't suit everyone but provide more instruction per pound. Intensive courses offer the opportunity to pass your test very quickly but have a number of potentially serious drawbacks, for instance: If you are unsuccessful during the test you will find that a lot of the learning disappears. So then more training (and by implication cost) is required before retesting.
