Pass Plus

You’ve made it! You’ve successfully passed your driving test and you’re eager to embark upon your driving adventures.

However, there’s a slight catch. During your learning phase, you probably stuck to driving on familiar routes around your local test center. Now that you have your own car, it’s time to step out of that comfort zone. This is where Pass Plus comes in. For more than two decades, the Pass Plus advanced driving course has been available to drivers, offering them the opportunity to enhance their skills beyond their initial driving training. It helps drivers gain experience in handling a wide range of challenging situations on the road.

For more than two decades, the Pass Plus advanced driving course has been available to drivers, offering them the opportunity to enhance their skills beyond their initial driving training. It helps drivers gain experience in handling a wide range of challenging situations on the road.

Pass Plus is an advanced driving course designed to enhance the skills of drivers who have already passed their driving test. It aims to prepare them for real-life road conditions by filling any knowledge gaps and providing additional skills beyond the basic requirements of passing the test. Although the course can be taken at any time, it primarily targets newly qualified drivers.

Newly qualified drivers are much more vulnerable than they realise. Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident within their first two years of driving than at any other time in their driving career.

  • Two young people under 25 die every day in crashes in Great Britain
  • In their first year of driving, one driver in five is involved in a crash

I would highly recommend my driving instructor Simon Houghton! He taught me in ways that were completely different to my previous instructors, which really helped me build my confidence and improve my driving. He has a great sense of humour, which made every lesson enjoyable and relaxed. Most importantly, his teaching and support helped me pass my driving test! Couldn’t thank him enough. 🚗🎉

I booked my test in an area I was mostly unfamiliar with, so I booked three 2-hour lessons with Lewis to get used to the roads beforehand. It was definitely the right call. Lewis was really calm, patient and knowledgeable, and he took me around a lot of the places the test route might cover, so nothing on the day came as a surprise.

He also helped me iron out a few kinks in my driving, and his tips were clear and easy to put into practice. The car was great too, very smooth to drive, and it definitely helped me on the day.

I passed, and I definitely reckon I wouldn't have without him. I'd happily recommend Lewis to anyone, especially if you're taking your test somewhere you're not familiar with. Cheers Lewis!

I passed my test yesterday and Simon my instructor was a huge part of that. He was extremely helpful and supportive, very approachable and always had time for my questions and queries.

I passed my driving test over a week ago through Shift and my instructor, Ciaran, was extremely helpful throughout the entire process. Would recommend for any learners who'd like to learn thoroughly and succeed in their driving test!

Amazing service and Phil was a first rate instructor. I rang and had lessons later that week. I've had several instructors over the year but Phil made me feel at ease and taught me so many things of thers didn't. Passed my test after a few weeks of teaching. Can't recommend this school high enough. Thanks again Phil!
