About the Course

What is Pass Plus?

Pass Plus is a practical training scheme developed by the DVSA (Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency) for newly qualified drivers. It's designed to improve your driving skills beyond the standard test and prepare you for the full range of conditions you'll encounter on UK roads.

The course covers six modules and takes a minimum of 6 hours. There's no test at the end — your DVSA-approved instructor assesses your progress throughout and issues a certificate on completion.

New drivers are 4x more likely to be involved in a collision in their first year. Pass Plus significantly reduces that risk.

Insurance Benefit

Could Reduce Your Car Insurance

Many major UK insurers recognise Pass Plus and offer a discount to drivers who hold a certificate. For young or newly qualified drivers — who typically face the highest premiums — this saving can be significant and may more than cover the cost of the course.

We recommend checking with your insurer before booking to confirm whether they recognise Pass Plus and what discount they offer.
