Often called the London of the North, Manchester has great public transport links. But if you're sick of getting drenched in the rain while you wait for the bus, you're probably thinking it's about time you start learning to drive.
Whether you're looking for manual or automatic driving lessons, Manchester is a great place to learn to drive. What's more, PassMeFast courses have the added benefit of a fast tracked practical test. This means that you can get an appointment months earlier than is normally possible, all without ever having to lift a finger. We also have resources to support every type of learner, from theory test support to information about driving in the UK.
In a city like Manchester, learning in an automatic car can be a real advantage. That’s because stop-start traffic is a common feature of busy urban roads, and driving an automatic car can result in a much smoother driving experience.

We keep things simple: you take your lessons at an intensive or semi-intensive pace; whichever works for you. You’ll learn alongside an experienced, fully qualified Manchester driving instructor, and beat the long driving test waiting times by weeks—or even months.

Practical driving test centres in Manchester
There are two practical test centres to be found within the city of Manchester itself. In the north of the city, learners are likely to head to Cheetham Hill test centre; further south, West Didsbury test centre is a great option. Depending on your exact location, however, you may wish to head out of the city limits to take your test. Visit our guide to Greater Manchester’s driving test centres to see which one is right for you.
It's normal to feel nervous about your driving test, but we have a whole host of resources that will leave you feeling confident and ready to pass.
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 Manchester
Close to the city centre, the Manchester theory test centre is likely to be the best choice for any learners here still needing to take their theory test. Alternative options which may be suitable depending on your location include the Salford and Stockport theory test centres.
Make sure to add a theory test onto your course if you haven’t passed yet: you’ll need a valid theory pass to take your practical test! Keep revising and use our resources to top up your knowledge.
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?
Many learners don’t realise it, but the DVSA requires you to pass your theory test before you can even book a practical test—let alone sit one! If you’re without a theory test pass certificate, be sure to add one onto your course when booking.

FAQs
It is important to communicate openly with your driving instructor about areas you find challenging or want to focus on. This will help your instructor tailor lessons to your specific needs when having your driving lessons in Manchester. In addition, you can continue to learn beyond the basics by reading driving manuals, watching instructional videos, or taking advanced driving courses. Continuous learning can improve your driving skills and increase your safety awareness.
We operate across the UK, with a network of high quality tutors in Manchester, London, Birmingham, Bristol, Cardiff, Leeds, Leicester, Liverpool, Sheffield and Nottingham. Wherever you live, it’s highly likely we’ll have an instructor nearby who can meet you at your home to begin your lessons.
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.
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.
The driving test pass rate in Manchester is 48.2%. It’s understandable that some people choose their test centre based on the pass rate, but it’s not as important as you’d think. There are lots of factors that can influence a pass rate, such as the number of tests taken in the area. Whether or not you pass simply depends on how you perform on the day.
Some of the test centres in Manchester include Cheetham Hill (Manchester), West Didsbury (Manchester) and Chadderton. It’s usually best to pick the test centre closest to you. You’ll do your driving lessons in this area and become familiar with the route you’ll use during the test.
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.
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.
Yes! Jump on a PassMeTheory online revision session to get theory test prepped and ready to pass. Just pick a date and time that works for you and we’ll teach you the trickiest parts of the test to make sure you’re ready to go.
