Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Ely

Too many learner drivers think that their only options are an inflexible one week driving course or slow, traditional hourly lessons. Neither of these really meets the needs of those hoping to get their licence quickly. PassMeFast, however, is different. Our lessons fit around your lifestyle, all while still allowing you to pass your test in a matter of weeks. So, how does it all work?

To start off with, you’ll choose one of our range of courses. We have options to suit virtually any learner, from those starting at square one through to those who just need a little pre-test finesse. You also get to decide on the pace at which you take your lessons: the most intensive courses could see you learning in blocks of 5 hours at a time, while more relaxed options allow you to spread things out over a longer period. The choice is yours!

Practical Test Centres in Ely

Ely’s learners will need to head out of the city to take their practical test, as there’s no test centre found here. The Cambridge test centre is by far the closest choice for those living here, with Cambridgeshire’s only other option being the Peterborough test centre. Closer to Ely, you could also look into the Bury St Edmunds test centre across the border in Suffolk. Don’t forget to brush up on the show me, tell me questions before heading in for your test!

Theory Test Centres in Ely

Ely may not have its own practical test centre, but there’s brighter news when it comes to the theory test. That’s because the Ely theory test centre is found just to the south of the city centre, making it easy to get to for those living locally. It’s one of three Cambridgeshire theory test centres, together with Cambridge and Peterborough. If you’re preparing, be sure to give our fun traffic signs quiz a whirl to test out your knowledge!

Haven't taken your theory test yet?

The practical test may receive the lion’s share of learners’ attention, but in the eyes of the DVSA, the theory test is just as important. After all, you can’t proceed to the practical test without having first passed your theory! That’s why it’s a good idea to arrange your theory test appointment in advance. That way, you’ll be sure to pass in time for your preferred practical test date. To ensure that you get a theory test date that suits you, add it onto your PassMeFast booking.

Driving Around Ely

During your driving lessons, you’ll work on the full range of skills you’ll need to display during the test. This will include everything from an impeccable display of the MSPSL routine through to pitch-perfect manoeuvres. And those bad driving habits you’ve been struggling to shake? You’ll tackle those until they’re a thing of the past! One final question, then: where exactly will you be taking those lessons?

Map showing Ely within Cambridgeshire

To give you a better idea of the roads you’ll be facing during your practical test, at least some of your lessons will be spent in the area where your test centre is located. For most learners around here, that means travelling to Cambridge. In doing so, you’ll familiarise yourself with the kinds of major roads and junctions that you’ll need to tackle in order to pass.
