What is Pass Plus?

Pass plus is a training course mainly aimed at new drivers but can be taken at any time.

What is it for?

It's aim is to build on the skills and knowledge you already have and to teach you how to anticipate, plan for and deal with all kinds of hazards. It will also help you to become a more confident driver.

It could also help you save money on your insurance*. Visit the Direct Gov website for a list of participating insurance companies.

*If you passed your test more than a year ago you may need to check with the insurer first to see if you would make any savings.

What does it involve?

The course consists of six modules:

• in town
• in all weathers 
• on rural roads
• at night
• on dual carriageways
• on motorways

The minimum time it will take is 6 hours but may be a little longer if necessary.

Training will be mostly practical but in some circumstances it may have to be theory (motorways and all weather driving)

There is no test at the end as you will be assessed during each module.

Once you have completed the course you will be given a certificate which you can use to claim a discount on your insurance.


How much will it cost?

The course will cost £19 per hour. This is the same price per hour even if you take a little longer than the minimum 6 hours.
