Intensive Driving Courses in Thurrock
Too many driving schools make learners choose between flexible lessons and getting on the road quickly. At PassMeFast, we say: why not have both? When you book a driving course with us here in Thurrock, you’ll get top-quality tuition, fast-track tests, personalised service, and lessons that work for you. Read on to get the full details on our crash courses.
Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Thurrock
An intensive driving course doesn’t have to be taken in one week. PassMeFast has put an end to inflexible crash courses and, in their place, created a range of packages that reflect learner drivers’ diverse range of experience. So, when you book with us, you’ll be able to choose from any of the courses available on our prices page, from 5 through to 48 hours.
You have the freedom to choose the pace of your course. Take our 25-hour course, for example: if you’ve got a lot of free time, you can go for our most intensive option available and take 5 hours of lessons per day over a 5 day period, finishing up with your driving test in the final hour. If you’ve got a busier schedule, you can keep the pace more chilled with blocks of lessons as short as two hours, or with fewer sessions per week.
Don’t fancy learning in a manual car? We get you. We know that not everyone feels like tackling gear changes or clutch control—so we offer automatic intensive driving courses. Make sure you choose automatic on booking, and we’ll get it sorted for you. Prices may vary by transmission.
All of our intensive driving courses include not only lessons, but also a fast-track practical test. This means you could beat the usual long waiting times for tests by weeks or even months. Plus, you can expect fantastic service from not only our local, DVSA-registered instructors, but also from your very own dedicated Booking Agent, who’ll be busily working to sort all the admin for your course.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Thurrock
Wondering where your driving lessons and tests are likely to take place? If you’re in the Thurrock area, the answer is most likely to be Tilbury test centre. Your lessons will take place in the vicinity of the test centre, and will cover some of the tricky spots likely to appear on your route, including taking in different types of roundabout and pedestrian crossing. Don’t worry if you’re heading elsewhere, though—your instructor may still be able to pick you up and drop you off! Nearby test centres outside of Thurrock include Basildon and 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 Thurrock
While Thurrock’s learners are lucky enough to have a practical test centre close to home, it’s a different story when it comes to the theory test. Here, you’ll need to travel a little—though, thankfully, it’s not too much of a trek, with the nearest theory test centre located in Basildon. If this doesn’t work out for you, your best alternatives are two theory test centre centres in Greater London: Sidcup and Ilford.
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?
If you still have the theory test on your to-do list, we can help you check it off. That’s because, when you add a theory test to your course, we’ll arrange it for you, and can even fast-track your appointment. Now all that’s left to do is to check out our ultimate guide to online theory test resources and get studying—after all, there’s no guaranteed pass here!
Driving Around Thurrock
With only one driving test centre in the Thurrock area, it’s likely that all local learners will start off their test by heading to Tilbury. (Don’t worry about getting there—home and workplace pickups are included with our courses as standard!) Over the course of your lessons, your instructor will gauge your current ability, and gradually introduce you to new areas that may crop up on your driving test.
You can expect everything from local housing estates to busy A roads to appear on your test route, including dual carriageways such as the A13. This is to ensure that your driving ability is up to scratch on any type of road your examiner can throw at you. Impress them, and you’ll soon be the proud owner of a shiny, new, pink driving licence!
