Intensive Driving Courses in Colchester
Drivers in Colchester don’t always have it easy, with a local stretch of the A12 once voted the worst road in the country. Nonetheless, we believe that the process of getting your licence should be as simple as possible. That’s why we said no to the slow pace of traditional lessons and yes to a range of intensive and semi-intensive courses tailored to suit all learners. To find out more about our driving courses in Colchester, and to see what makes our driving school different, read on!
Booking a Course
Not sure what to expect from a PassMeFast course? Allow us to take a minute to run through it all.
Firstly, and unlike other companies, we don’t make every learner take the same number of lessons. Instead, we have a range of different courses, each suited to someone at a different stage of their driving journey. Check them all out on our prices page, or visit our course recommender to discover your perfect choice.
Our courses may be intensive, but we won’t rush you. You control the pace, and have the option to go for lessons in blocks as short as 2 hours and as long as 5. This means that you can complete our 25-hour course, for example, in just a 5-day period if you’re going fully intensive. Alternatively, with a semi-intensive schedule, you can spread out your driving lessons over a longer period.
Interested in automatic driving lessons in Colchester?
Though manual cars are the most popular choice on Britain’s roads, they’re not the only way to go. Many learners prefer automatics—that’s why we give you a choice of gearbox. Choose an automatic course when booking in, and we’ll assign you an instructor with an automatic vehicle in your area. Please note that prices may vary by transmission.
We only work with DVSA-approved driving instructors, ensuring that you’re in safe hands when learning to drive. Their positive, supportive attitude, encyclopedic knowledge of motoring, and experience on all of Colchester’s roads add up to a winning combination. So, while no one can ever bank on a guaranteed pass, you can breathe easy, knowing that, by the time you’re sat in the test centre waiting to take your practical, you’ll be confident and ready to take on the roads.

Practical Test Centres in Colchester
While the very best test centre pass rates are often in far-flung locations, virtually all learners, if given the choice, would opt to take their test close to home. Luckily, learners in this area are able to do just that. That’s because the Colchester driving test centre is in a convenient location, just to the south of the city centre. If you’re just outside of Colchester, you may wish to consider another Essex test centre, such as Clacton-on-Sea or Chelmsford Hanbury Road.
Theory Test Centres in Colchester
Colchester is home to one of Essex’s five theory test centres. So, if you live in the local area, simply visit the Colchester theory test centre to complete this crucial stage of your driving journey. Other test centres in the county include Southend-on-Sea and Chelmsford. When preparing for your test, remember that the multiple choice section is only one half of the story—you’ll also need to prepare for the hazard perception section, which includes a range of CGI clips to reflect different weather conditions.
Haven't taken your theory test yet?
DVSA rules state that you must take your theory test before booking a practical—there’s no two ways about it! To make sure you’ve passed it in good time, add a theory test onto your PassMeFast course. We’ll arrange for the test to take place at a local test centre at a time that’s convenient for you, and can even fast-track your test!
Driving Around Colchester
As one of Essex’s largest and busiest towns, it doesn’t come as too much of a surprise to learn that Colchester has some of the county’s most dangerous roads. This is no reason not to learn to drive here, though—it simply means you need to keep your wits about you when behind the wheel, and employ defensive driving techniques to keep yourself safe.
Learners in the Colchester area will begin their test in an industrial estate in the Old Heath area of town, before progressing on to urban, suburban and rural roads in the local area. It’ll certainly put your abilities under the microscope—but, after having taken your PassMeFast course, you’ll have all the skills under your belt to succeed.
