Booking a Intensive Driving Course in Skipton
With PassMeFast, learning to drive in Skipton is simple. First, you book into one of our courses—whichever best suits your needs. Then, we’ll assign you one of our fleet of DVSA-registered driving instructors. Next, we’ll book you a fast-track practical test that will take place weeks or even months ahead of normal waiting times.
Our driving school offers courses in both manual and automatic cars, giving you the choice over which transmission you'd like to learn in. Remember that autos aren't always necessarily as easy as they're made out to be—and certainly not a guaranteed pass! Take a quick look at our comparison of manual and automatic cars for more information.
Then, your lessons will begin—in either a manual or an automatic car—and you’ll gain the skills you need to learn to drive. Our courses are comprehensive; you’ll learn how to become a safe, confident driver in any conditions in just a few weeks. Then, you’ll (hopefully!) pass your test, proud owner of a full UK driving licence.

Practical Test Centres in Skipton
The ultimate goal for most learners is passing their practical test, ditching the L plates, and getting on the road for good. Luckily for learners in Skipton, you’ll be able to do all this in your local area, as there’s a practical test centre in Skipton. Other nearby centres you may alternatively wish to use include Steeton and Bradford Heaton.
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 Skipton
You’re also in luck if you need to take your theory test in the Skipton area—particularly as you’ll need to pass your theory test before you’re even able to book a practical test. That’s because there’s a theory test centre located within Skipton itself, just a short 10 minute walk away from Skipton train station. If you live a little further from Skipton, you could also take your test at Bradford, Northallerton or Harrogate. Why not head to our resources page for useful online and mobile revision tools?
Haven't taken your theory test yet?
You'll need to get your revision in before taking your theory test—as the theory test pass rates show, there's no guaranteed pass here! PassMeFast can, however, make things a little easier by booking your test for you. Simply add a theory test onto your course when booking in. One less thing to worry about!
