Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Dover
As an intensive driving school, you might expect us to offer just one type of 5-day course. Thankfully, this couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, we offer eight different courses, the shortest of which is just ten hours, while the longest includes 48 hours' worth of lessons. You can compare all of our intensive driving courses, or find the right one for you by using our course recommender.
With us, the choice of how you take your lessons is up to you. If you’d prefer to take up to five hours per day in a fully intensive structure, you can! If, however, you’ve got more constraints on your time, or simply don’t want to spend quite as long in the car, we also have semi-intensive options available. This means you can take your lessons in shorter blocks of as little as two hours with your instructor at a time.
With PassMeFast, you’re not limited to manual courses. Every single one of the courses we offer can be taken in either a manual or an automatic car—it’s completely up to you. Still deciding between the two? Check out our article on manual vs automatic pass rates.
As you can see, every PassMeFast course is different—but each of them has a few things in common. . You’ll also be learning alongside one of our DVSA-registered instructors, meaning you’ll be in great hands while you’re behind the wheel. And, behind the scenes, our office team will be crossing the t’s and dotting the i’s, and arranging everything to ensure your course is in ship-shape condition.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Dover
With Dover’s port featuring frequent heavy traffic for those heading off to drive in Europe, it’s understandable that the DVSA decided not to site a practical test centre here. Despite what you may expect, though—and unlike some “guaranteed pass” companies—our intensive courses don’t involve any residential stays. With us, you’ll take your driving lessons and test close to home. Close options for Dover learners include Folkestone, a short drive down the coast, and Canterbury, further inland to the north-west.
Did you know that our courses are designed to give you the best chance of passing. Lessons are scheduled just ahead of your test, keeping learning fresh.
Theory Test Centres in Dover
While Dover may not have a theory test centre of its own, it does have direct rail links to two of the four Kent theory test centres. The closest of these is the Canterbury theory test centre, which is only 16 minutes away by train, while Chatham is just under an hour away. If you’re able to get a lift, then New Romney may also be worth considering—it doesn’t have great rail links, but it’s only around 20 miles away by car.
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?
Don’t forget that the DVSA stipulates that all learners must pass their theory test before they can even book a practical test. To make sure everything’s sorted in time, add a theory test onto your course when making your booking.
