How are DC learning to drive these days?!

Looking to book an intense driving course for my niece’s 18th. Don’t mind spending a few hundred, we are very close so I want to help her. She lives rurally and is tearing her hair out not having access to jobs etc. Her mum tries her best but can only afford the odd lesson every 6 or so weeks (and that’s through scrimping and scraping) so DN isn’t progressing. Before somebody says she should be paying for her own DN literally cannot get a job because there’s only hospitality jobs going in the nearby village and she’d be doing late finishes with no car, her mum is a carer working funny shifts. She’s been outright told at interviews they will probably go with a candidate with better access to work. We are in Cheshire, I can’t seem to find any taking bookings. Has anybody’s DC done one? How do you get a place? We don’t mind travelling, she needs to get driving ASAP.

I’ve even looked at block paying for normal lessons but cannot get a place. Ideally it’d be an intense course. Can anybody recommend one? It’s a bit of a desperate situation.
