Intensive Driving Courses in Chelmsford
Lying right in the heart of Essex, drivers in Chelmsford have a whole county right at their fingertips (and beyond!). It’s for this reason (and many others) that getting behind the wheel of your own car is so important—and why it’s so frustrating that the process can be so difficult. With so many cons to both traditional lessons and inflexible, one-week driving schools, PassMeFast decided to create something that truly met learners’ needs. The solution? A range of intensive and semi-intensive courses that work for you. Read on to find out more, and to see how we can help you with a crash course in Chelmsford.
Booking intensive driving lessons in Chelmsford
Oftentimes, when learners think of an intensive driving course, they imagine a company that offers only one type of course. They might think they need to book a 5-day holiday just to learn to drive, before waiting around for weeks to take their actual test. Thankfully, PassMeFast have heard learners’ concerns and created a range of courses that help make the process of learning to drive quicker and easier.
For starters, we have a broad range of courses on offer. The shortest is 10 hours, and is ideal for those who just need a quick pre-test confidence boost. Meanwhile, total driving newbies can opt for our 48-hour course—with plenty of options for those who are somewhere in between. You’ll also be able to choose a course structure that works for you.
If you’ve decided that clutch control and gear changes just aren’t for you, then you might wish to take advantage of one of our automatic courses. Read more about taking automatic courses with PassMeFast to see whether this option is right for you.
Meanwhile, we’ll schedule your practical test to take place weeks ahead of the long waiting times you’ll typically see on the DVSA website. With your test date in place, you’ll learn alongside a local instructor, steadily building up your skills in preparation for your test. By the time the day finally comes, you’ll be whizzing around Chelmsford’s roads like a seasoned pro.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Chelmsford
At the end of your driving lessons, it’s time to take your practical test. No matter whether you’re taking it for the first time or getting back in the saddle after having failed the practical test before, it’s always good to know that the roads you’ll be taking to are familiar. There’s good news on this front for local learners: there’s a driving test centre right here, on Chelmsford’s Hanbury Road. If this test centre isn’t convenient for you, you may also wish to consider Basildon or Brentwood.
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 Chelmsford
With Chelmsford being Essex’s only city, it stands to reason that it’s home to one of the county’s few theory test centres. This means that would-be drivers in the local area can head to the Chelmsford theory test centre—no messing about here! Other options in the county include Basildon to the south-west, and Southend-on-Sea to the south-east.
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?
Two tips for learners still to take their theory test. First, get in plenty of revision—it’s trickier than you might think, and the common conception that you can rely on a guaranteed pass is, sadly, just a theory test myth! Secondly, make sure you book your test in good time. To ensure you get the right test date, add a theory test onto your PassMeFast course.
Driving Around Chelmsford
Since the closure of the Hoffmanns Way test centre, the only practical test venue left standing in Chelmsford is at Hanbury Road, in the Widford area to the south-west of the city centre. During your course, you’ll get to know this and other nearby parts of the city well, with potential tricky spots including the Widford Roundabout, found at the junction of the A1114 and A414.
Drive just six minutes south of the test centre, meanwhile, and you’ll come across the A12—a road that’s been dubbed Essex’s most dangerous. There’s no need to fear, though: on your lessons, your instructor will only take you here when they believe you’ve gained the skills to drive here confidently. By your test date, even Chelmsford’s trickiest roads will be a piece of cake.
