Pass Plus is a practical, post-test training course of at least six hours, designed by the DVSA to help newly-qualified drivers build real confidence and experience. We deliver Pass Plus across Newcastle, Gateshead, Durham, Sunderland, South Shields and the wider North East.
The six Pass Plus modules
Pass Plus is built around six modules, each covering the kind of driving that learner lessons often only touch on. Over at least six hours you'll gain real, guided experience in:
Town driving – complex junctions, bus lanes and heavy traffic.
All-weather driving – handling rain, fog, ice and low light safely.
Rural roads – bends, hidden dips and safe overtaking.
Night driving – using your lights and judging speed in the dark.
Dual carriageways – joining, leaving and lane discipline at speed.
Motorways – the confidence to tackle them for the first time.
There's no test at the end – your instructor assesses you throughout and signs off once you've reached the required standard in every module, then you receive your official certificate.
