Booking crash courses in Edinburgh

Lots of learners are preferring a more intensive approach when it comes to learning to drive, rather than the old approach to having one to two hours of practice a week. in other words people tend to prefer a crash course.

This works differently for different people, but it usually means you'll be doing longer lessons, lessons that are more than once a week, or a combination of the two. PassMeFast works around your schedule and needs, so you can let us know what you're looking for when you book your course.

FAQs

At PassMeFast after each lesson you'll be able to reflect on how this has gone with your instructor, and also track your progress through the PassMeFast Student Portal App. This helps ensure you're well-prepared for your practical driving test and will know when you're ready for the big day. 

The number of driving lessons needed varies depending on how much experience you have driving and how much extra practice you're likely to have. We recommend a 48 hour course for a complete beginner with one of our approved instructors combined with private practice.

If you've not been behind the wheel before, 20 hours of lessons is unlikely to be sufficient to get you test ready. The DVSA state that on average a candidate who passes their test has taken 48 hours of professional lessons, as well as completed 20 hours of private practice. So a 20 hour course is only suitable for a learner who has already had at least 20 - 30 hours behind the wheel. Try our course recommender to understand what the best course is for you.

Our driving courses include a practical test at the end. You won’t have to join the long DVSA queue either. Our team of experts will fast-track your practical test, meaning you could pass in as little as 3 months. Already have your own test booked? No problem! You can let us know when you book.

Intensive driving courses work by booking a block of lessons bundled with your theory and practical driving tests. We’ll then do all the admin, book your fast-tracked driving test and assign an expert instructor to teach you. Unlike other intensive driving courses, PassMeFast lets you choose how many hours you drive per day. From fully intensive (4-5 hours) or semi-intensive driving lessons (2 hours) — we fit your driving course around your schedule.

PassMeFast’s intensive driving courses are perfect for anybody, whether you’re a beginner or pro. If you don’t have much driving experience, don’t worry. You’ll be up to speed quickly and an intensive driving course means you’ll avoid unnecessary lessons and learn to drive at lightning speed.

An intensive driving course could save you money in the long run. You’ll take longer lessons, which means you’ll have more time to work on your skills. The issue with hourly lessons is that they’re over before you can get the hang of things. Not only that, but the gap between lessons means you could end up forgetting what you’ve already learned. Avoid forking out for more lessons than you need and choose an intensive driving course instead.

It really depends on what works best for you, as well as how many hours of lessons you need. You could finish an intensive driving course in a few days or a week, or you could space out your lessons a little over a few weeks.

Nobody can guarantee that you pass a driving test. The DVSA runs driving tests in the UK, and they hire examiners who decide whether you've passed or failed. Examiners can't be influenced, so it all depends on how you perform on the day. A company offering a guaranteed pass is usually being deceptive and there will be various clauses hidden in the terms and conditions.

We have a team of over 5,000 friendly driving instructors who will fill your brain with the driving skills you need to pass your test fast. Whether you want to learn to drive in a manual or automatic car, you’re in the best hands possible.
