Flexible & Affordable Driving Crash Courses

Take a driving crash course with A Pass 4 U, a family-run intensive driving school with bases nationwide. We strive to provide the best possible driving tuition at affordable prices. Our intensive driving courses are designed to be very flexible to help you through the stressful times that start with studying for your theory test to passing your driving practical test and then on to Pass Plus.

These courses condense driving tuition into a few days or weeks, providing an immersive and hands-on experience. With a focus on practical skills and real-road scenarios, driving courses with APass4U help to build confidence and competence behind the wheel. Tailored to individual needs, they cover everything from basic driving techniques to advanced manoeuvres, preparing you thoroughly for the driving test.

For Best Results Book an Assessment Lesson

The best way to find out which driving crash course is best for you is by having an assessment lesson. There are a number of reasons why this is the best method, including,

  • a real assessment of your actual driving
  • you get to meet the instructor and drive the car before spending any large amount of money
  • the instructor will give you guidance on the practical elements of driving and you will be able to relate these back to your driving

We almost always suggest that you take an assessment lesson that will allow the instructor to see what you can (or more importantly what you can’t) do. It also gives you the chance to meet your instructor and drive the car you will be using on the course. After the assessment, you can then make an informed judgement on what driving course to take and how to structure it, which of course gives you a better chance of passing your driving test whilst maximising your time and money.

There is no ideal driving lesson length. So all of our courses are flexible. What matters is that your driving course is right for you!

Intensive Driving Courses By Local Instructors

At APass4U, all our intensive driving courses are taught by local instructors who know the area and test routes well. This ensures you not only get the best chance of passing but also gain valuable insight into local driving conditions.

Our intensive courses can be completed over consecutive days or split if you want to include a theory test. Each course is 1-to-1, with only you and the instructor in the car, offering focused, personalised tuition. Typically, the course concludes with your driving test.

Focused on Safe, Lifelong Driving

It’s essential that learner drivers acquire the skills to drive safely on all types of roads, not just enough to pass the test. Our goal is to help you become a confident, safe driver for life, with lessons tailored to your needs and abilities.

We understand that learning to drive, especially in busy areas, can be overwhelming. Our experienced instructors use their local knowledge to guide you not just to pass the test, but also to drive safely in all situations. We offer a variety of cars, including both petrol and diesel models, all of which are modern and equipped with the latest safety features.

Fully Qualified and Professional Instructors

All APass4U instructors are fully qualified ADIs with up-to-date CRBs. You can trust that your instructor is approved by the Driving Standards Agency and dedicated to ensuring you have the skills for both passing your test and safe driving long after.

Whether you prefer a male or female instructor, we have dedicated professionals who take pride in delivering high-quality tuition. Our instructors are passionate about your success and committed to helping you reach your full potential.

    HAVE A QUESTION?

    Frequently Asked Questions

    What is an intensive driving course?
    An intensive driving course, also known as a driving crash course, is an accelerated driver training program designed to help individuals learn to drive and prepare for the driving test in a shorter period than standard hourly lessons, usually within a few days or weeks.

    How can I find intensive driving courses near me?
    To find courses near you, simply fill out our enquiry form and enter your location. We offer courses nationwide including areas such as Essex, London, Manchester and beyond, with local instructors ready to help you pass your driving test quickly. Contact us to find the best course for you.

    Do I need to have a provisional driving license before starting an intensive course?
    Yes, you must have a valid provisional driving license before starting an intensive driving course. If you don’t have one, you’ll need to apply for it through the DVLA (Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency) before booking the course.

    What is the difference between an intensive course and hourly driving lessons?
    Apart from the obvious differences that training is carried out over consecutive hours rather than spread out over 4 to 6 months and that payment is required upfront, there are other more subtle differences like transfer of learning, which is a technique used when teaching similar topics one after the other. Confidence can be a major issue for some learner drivers but during an intensive driving course, the instructor has time to prove to the learner that they can do the different subjects which leads to greater self-belief. This can be difficult to achieve if the learner is taking hourly lessons.

    How are the courses structured?
    Most of our courses are structured with 5 hours per day, over a set amount of days, with the driving test arranged to be taken on the last hour of the last day. No driving instructor or pupil can drive safely for 5 hours without rest, so there will be a 15 to 20-minute break somewhere in the middle of each day. This time is taken from the course time, as pupils will normally want to talk about the driving test or something else related to learning to drive.

    Can I take an intensive course if I have previously failed the driving test?
    Yes, you can take an intensive course even if you have failed the driving test before. The course can be tailored to focus on the specific areas you need to improve to increase your chances of passing on your next attempt.

    How long do the courses take to pass?
    Our courses will usually consist of a set number of hours of driver training per day, to run over a set number of days. The last hour on the last day of your course will usually see your driving test arranged. Before taking an intensive driving course, you will need to have passed your theory and hazard perception tests. From there it will depend on your experience and your ability to learn. APass4U offer courses ranging from 6 hours over one day to 50 hours spread over 20 days. So you can learn at a pace suitable for you. Working out what driving course is right for you is difficult without seeing you drive and this is why we always recommend an assessment lesson.

    Can I take an intensive course in an automatic car?
    Learning to drive in automatic cars can benefit a range of people. Including nervous drivers, older people and those that may have learning difficulties or disabilities. Anybody is eligible to learn in an automatic car! (providing that you do not have any health conditions that may affect you whilst on the road – for example, seizures or epilepsy – and make sure to inform the DVLA). It is important to understand though, that with an automatic driver’s license, you will not be able to drive a manual car. However, if you have a manual driver’s license, you can drive both.

    How much does it cost to take an intensive driving course?
    The price of our courses varies depending on a few different factors such as:

    • How many hours you need to meet the required standard.
    • If you choose to learn to drive a manual or automatic transmission.
    • If you require a bed & breakfast (residential courses).


    Do I need to pass my theory test before I can take an intensive driving course?
    You do not need to have passed your theory test in order to take an intensive driving course. You do need to pass your driving theory test before you can take the practical driving test, we can help arrange this for you.

    Do driving crash courses include a theory test?
    Our range of driving crash courses are designed for people who are looking to pass fast. All our hourly, daily and weekly courses can be tailored to your requirements and can include a theory test if required. If necessary, we can split your driving course so you have time with one of our expert driving instructors before your theory test.

    What manoeuvres should I expect to practice during a driving crash course?
    Whilst taking a driving crash course you will be taught the following and during your driving test you will be asked to complete one of the following manoeuvres:

    • Reverse into a bay (sometimes completed in a 3rd party car park)
    • Reverse out of a bay (sometimes completed in a 3rd party car park)
    • Parallel Park (completed on the road)
    • Pull up on the right and reverse 2 to 3 car lengths (completed on the road)


    Are intensive courses safe?
    An intensive course in no more or less safe than hourly driving lessons. Driving is a skill you will learn for the rest of your life. It is not easily gained. At A Pass 4 u driving school we pride ourselves in giving quality tuition at the right level for each pupil to be able to not only drive safely but to pass the Driving Standards Agency practical driving test. You will probably put a lot of hours, effort and emotions into gaining your driving licence and it can easily be lost, especially in the first 2 years. This is when you are only allowed to gain six penalty points before you lose your licence completely. Then you will have to start again! So above all drive safely!

    What times do the intensive lessons start?
    The office will arrange the days but do not arrange the start times. As soon as a course is allocated the instructor is required to contact the pupil within 24 hours to arrange start times and go over the details of the course. The days of the course cannot be rearranged without prior agreement.

    What happens if a pupil is late to start a course?
    Unfortunately, this time will be lost from the driving course.

    Do intensive lessons guarantee a driving test pass?
    No, there is no guarantee of passing the driving test. Success depends on your ability to learn and apply the skills taught during the course. We will do everything possible to prepare you for the practical driving test, but passing is ultimately up to your performance during the test.
