Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Skelmersdale

If you’re fed up of companies who make you pay thousands for a “guaranteed pass”, force you into a single type of 5 day course, or are simply just too slow, then we hear you. Thankfully, there is one driving school that does things differently: PassMeFast.

Lessons in a manual car are the most popular choice for learners across the UK, but they’re certainly not the only option. PassMeFast offers learners the ability to take lessons in an automatic car—a good option if you’re really finding it difficult to get used to gear changes and clutch control. For a full rundown, visit our comparison of manual vs automatic cars.

Lessons with PassMeFast take place at your pace. You choose a crash course to suit you: from 5 hours up to 48 hours, all learners can find something for them. However, no matter the length of your course, we can guarantee:

You’ll learn alongside a DVSA-registered instructor.

A PassMeFast booking agent will handle all the admin for your course, so you don’t have to.

We’ll search for driving test cancellations, so you avoid the normal waiting times for driving tests.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Skelmersdale

If you’re living in West Lancashire, you might be hoping to take your test in Skelmersdale or Ormskirk. Unfortunately, there are no practical test centres in either town at present, meaning you’ll need to travel a little to take your test. The nearest test centres to West Lancashire are St Helens, Norris Green, Chorley, and Atherton. For more information, including test centre phone numbers, visit our resources page.

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 Skelmersdale

As is the case for practical test centres, there are no theory test centres to be found in either Skelmersdale or Ormskirk. Learners here will thus need to head a bit outside of town to pass their theory test; St Helens and Wigan are the nearest options. To brush up on your motoring knowledge, why not check out our ultimate driving glossary?

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.

If you haven’t passed your theory test yet, be sure to add this onto your course when making your booking. We can even fast-track your test to help you get an earlier slot!

Driving Around Skelmersdale

Typically, learners will need to spend a bit of time during lessons driving in the area around their test centre. For learners in Skelmersdale, this means you’ll have to spend some time in a nearby town such as St Helens or Liverpool. Though this does mean a bit of travel time, your instructor will be able to pick you up and drop you off at home or work—and you’ll also get to avoid Skelmersdale’s dreaded system of roundabouts!

Provided you put in the time and effort, you’ll have a great chance of walking away from your practical test with a brand new licence. To prepare, why not take a look at the history of the UK driving licence for some fun facts?
