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

Highly recommend Shift Driving School. They were an absolute pleasure to deal with from start to finish. Special shout out to my instructor Hassan, who taught me from scratch in just under 6 months. I had no previous driving experience at all and he talked through the steps and skills needed clearly, always supportively pushing me to be my best. Delighted to have passed at first attempt! Couldn’t have done it without the team at Swift and Hassan. Thank you!

I had a fantastic experience learning to drive with my instructor, Simon Houghton. He helped me overcome my fear of the road with his calm, patient approach and never made me feel rushed. He tracked my progress carefully, helped me understand complex situations, and corrected my mistakes in a way that actually built my confidence. Thanks to him, my driving skills improved massively. A great experience with Shift Driving School. Highly recommended.

Would definitely recommend Shift & my instructor Ciaran!

Shift were quick to come back to me with my initial queries and getting me set up with an instructor. The driving school app is really intuitive and easy to use which was great.

Ciaran was always calm, patient and made me feel at ease. He was happy to answer any questions I had, go over things I felt unsure or unconfident about and it really felt like he went the extra mile to make sure I was ready for my test.

I passed my test and feel like a confident driver thanks to Ciaran's support and guidance throughout.

Found an instructor quickly. Julie was a fantastic teacher all the way through and set me up perfectly to pass first time. Special shout out the guys in the office and to Lisa who squeezed me in for a few last minute drives before my test.

Highly recommend.

I've had an absolutely fantastic experience with Shift from start to finish. I was assigned an instructor incredibly quickly after my first enquiry, and from the very first lesson to passing my test (first time with no faults!) I was supported incredibly well.

Simon helped me go from someone that had panic attacks after attempting lessons a few years ago, to being so confident behind the wheel that I have no reservations about going out and driving.

It was an absolute pleasure learning to drive with Shift and I wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone.
