Intensive Driving Courses in Blandford Forum
Want a driving school with excellent customer service? Looking to get your licence in weeks, not months? Don’t want to cram all your lessons into a 5-day window with an inflexible crash course? Say hello to PassMeFast! We help learners right here in Blandford Forum and across northern Dorset to speed up their driving journey through tailored intensive driving courses. Read on to get details on everything we have to offer.
Booking intensive driving lessons in Blandford Forum
There was once a time when a learner’s only option was to track down a local instructor, take a single lesson per week, and hope that they passed their test within a year. It was agonisingly slow—but that’s in the past. Now, hopeful drivers have a new place to turn: PassMeFast.
Rather than offering hourly lessons, PassMeFast has a range of intensive driving courses and prices, designed with learners at different stages of their driving journey in mind. These include packages for those who’ve recently failed a test, as well as for those who’ve never yet sat in the driving seat. (Psst… if you don’t know which is right for you, try out our course recommender!)
Wondering if you’re better off taking your driving lessons in an automatic car? If you’re hoping for a guaranteed pass, then think again. If, however, you’re struggling with gear changes and clutch control, and are hoping for a smoother learning experience, then we say go auto! We have driving instructors in the Blandford Forum area offering automatic driving lessons, so you can pass in your transmission of choice. Just select an automatic course when you book!
When you book with us, we’ll match you up to a local instructor. We only work with those who are registered with the DVSA , meaning you know you’re learning from a professional. Together, you’ll build up new skills, eliminate any bad driving habits such as tailgating, and work on becoming a safe, confident driver. This will stand you in good stead for your practical test—which we’ll fast-track for you, enabling you to beat the waiting times.
Ready to get things moving? We can’t wait to help you get started! To begin, give the PassMeFast team a bell by calling 0333 123 4949. We’ll be happy to talk you through the ins and outs of our courses, and match you to your best option. If you’d rather skip the chit-chat, though, then go ahead and book your course online!

Practical Driving Test Centres in Blandford Forum
If you live in the northern part of Dorset, you’ll need to head south to get to one of the county’s two test centres: Poole or Dorchester. If neither of these work for you, then Somerset’s Yeovil test centre and the Salisbury test centre in Wiltshire are good options, both lying about the same distance from Blandford Forum.
And did you know almost 9 in 10 people pass their driving test in the first three attempts? That’s why we’ve introduced PassProtect — giving you three attempts for the price of one.
Theory Test Centres in Blandford Forum
Learners living in this region are more lucky when it comes to the theory test, as there’s a test centre found right here in Blandford Forum. This is quite a small test centre, however, as it operates out of the local community centre. If you’re in need of an alternative, then cast your net a little wider and consider Dorset’s other two theory test centres in Bournemouth and Weymouth.
PassMeTheory is an online theory revision session, where we go over the most difficult areas of the test. 9 out of 10 people said they felt more confident about their test after their session.
Haven't taken your theory test yet?
The theory test is a tough nut to crack, with questions covering such varied topics as when to use dipped or full beam headlights and how the national speed limit applies to vehicles on different roads. That’s why it’s a good idea to focus on the studying and let us book it for you. Just add a theory test onto your course, and we’ll do the rest.
Driving Around Blandford Forum
Even though a driving test is less than an hour long, you’ll still find that it packs in a whole lot of different road types. Everything from sleepy suburbia to fast-paced dual carriageways could appear while you’re making your way through the test route. That’s why our driving instructors ensure that you’ll tackle all of these features during your lessons, so you’re ready when it comes to the test.
If you’re a newcomer, you’re likely to spend your first lessons in an area close to home, as you get used to the basics of controlling a car. After a short while, you’ll move onto busier stretches of road, and will get a taste of what it’s like to drive in the area where you’re due to take your practical test. This means that, though you can’t predict exactly what’s on your local test route, much of what you come across will be familiar to you on your big day.
