Do intensive driving courses include a practical test?

I was thinking about taking intensive driving courses to get my driver’s license more quickly. However, I’m not sure if it’s the right move for me or if I’ll learn the right material. Do these courses include a practical test?

Intensive driving courses aren’t for everyone, but they include a practical test for the purposes of getting better at driving. These courses are similar to regular driving courses, except at an accelerated pace.
You still get 30 hours of coursework, six one-hour lessons, or whatever else is required by law, but the process only takes one to two weeks. Expect most days to last two to five hours depending on what you need to do.
You’ll need to be a fast learner to soak up the information, but the right type of driver shouldn’t have any issues aside from a need for more experience. Still, nothing prevents you from taking your written and road exams if you complete an intensive driving course.
If you’re good enough to pass the road test and ace your exam, just remember to use the
