Intensive Driving Courses in Dorchester
When you’re looking to get your licence, choosing the right driving school is essential. It can be all too easy to be fooled by misleading discounts, or a “guaranteed pass” that turns out to be nothing of the sort. PassMeFast steers clear of all of that, and focuses its attention on providing learners with the best service possible. We offer intensive and semi-intensive driving courses right here in Dorchester, and across Dorset. Get full details on booking a crash course with us below.
Booking an Intensive Driving Course in Dorchester
Whether you’re looking to commute to work, get out for road trips, or even take your car with you to uni, there are plenty of reasons to start taking driving lessons. However, did you know that you can speed up your journey with our tailored packages? It’s true! PassMeFast’s learners benefit from our unique service, which helps them to dodge the waiting times and get their licence more quickly.
Want to know how to book? It’s simple: take a look at our full list of courses and prices, and select the one that fits you best. You’re also able to head to our course recommender—a handy little tool which will give you a personalised quote based on a few simple questions about your previous driving experience. Additionally, you’ll also be able to add on fast-tracked theory and practical tests to any of our courses.
Manual licences remain the most popular option for learners across the UK. That’s because they give you the choice to choose between a manual or an automatic car after you pass, while an automatic licence restricts you to the latter. Nonetheless, automatic licences are becoming more popular by the year. If you’re interested in taking your lessons in an auto, we can help: just select this as your gearbox of choice when you book.
Once you’ve booked in, you’ll be able to start designing your own driving course. This means that, together with the DVSA-approved instructor we assign to teach you, you’ll be able to choose the pace at which you take your lessons. Whether your schedule is free enough to allow you to take all your lessons in a 5 day window, or so packed that you need to spread things out over several weeks, we’ve got your covered.
Looking for a quick, simple way to get your driving licence? You’ve already found it! Book your PassMeFast intensive driving course today by calling us on 0333 123 4949, where a member of our team will be on hand to help you get booked in. Want to speed things up even more? Book your course online!

Practical Driving Test Centres in Dorchester
Believe it or not, but Dorset is home to only two practical test centres. Fortunately, one of those happens to be located right here in Dorchester. Talk about convenience! If you’re trying to secure a specific test date, you may be better served by keeping your options open a little. If that’s the case, then your closest backups can be found in Yeovil or Poole.
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 Dorchester
Dorchester’s learners got lucky when it came to the practical test, but there’s a small snag when it comes to the theory: there’s no test centre in town. What’s a learner to do? Well, the answer is not to give up! You don’t need to travel far to reach a theory test centre: locations include Weymouth, Yeovil, Blandford Forum or Bournemouth. You’re practically spoilt for choice!
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 passed your theory test yet?
Don’t assume that you can skate through your theory test with no preparation. With rules covering everything from smart motorways through to driving with passengers, getting through this won’t be easy! We recommend letting us book your test for you, so you can focus on studying. Add a theory test onto your PassMeFast booking, and we’ll get things sorted for you.
Driving Around Dorchester
Whether you’re fretting about getting stuck in traffic during your test or fearing that you’ll get the driving examiner from hell, there are plenty of concerns likely to be running through your head before the driving test. One thing that won’t be an issue, though, is knowing the area where your test is due to take place. That’s because you’ll spend your lessons on the roads in and around Dorchester, getting you prepared for the big day.
Tests starting from the Dorchester test centre take place within a relatively compact area, meaning you’re unlikely to go out much further than the A35. Your route will, therefore, focus on Dorchester itself, as well as the neighbouring area of Poundbury. Major junctions to watch out for on your route include the Monkeys Jump and Stadium Roundabouts, both of which lie on the bypass surrounding the town.
