Pass Plus
Overview
Pass Plus is a practical training course that takes at least 6 hours and is for drivers to improve their skills and drive more safely.
It can be taken at any time although it should be most useful to new drivers in the year after passing their test.
Only a fully qualified driving instructor can deliver the course and they must be registered to do so with the DVSA.
It may help you get a car insurance discount if you successfully complete the course.
Pass Plus consists of 6 modules, each of them designed to give the driver experience driving:
- In town/city centre
- In all weathers
- On rural roads
- At night
- On dual carriageways
- On motorways
All modules should be covered by practical sessions, although local conditions may mean that some are theory based – you won’t be able to practice driving in the snow in the month of June or July!
You will not take a test but you’ll be assessed throughout the course. To pass you’ll have to reach the required standard in all modules.
At the end of the course?
There is NO TEST at the end of the course, your instructor will be assessing you throughout the course and will be completing a training report form. In order to pass, you’ll need to reach the required standard in each module.
Once you have completed the Pass Plus course you must send your training report form, signed by you and your instructor, to the DVSA to receive your certificate to the address below;
