Interested in automatic intensive driving lessons in Ipswich?

Practical driving test centres in Ipswich

Knowing the venue of your future practical test won’t secure you a guaranteed pass. It will, however, help you and your instructor to plan your lessons in the most efficient way possible, as you’ll have a good understanding of the kinds of roads to practise on. Not sure where you’re likely to go? The obvious answer is the local practical test centre in Ipswich. Backups can be found nearby in Colchester, Clacton-on-Sea or Bury St Edmunds.

Theory test centres in Ipswich

The theory test spans a range of topics, from alertness to vehicle handling. Once you’ve taken a close look at all of the required subjects, the last thing to concern yourself with is the location of your test. You needn’t travel far if you live in this area: Ipswich has its own theory test centre. Elsewhere in Suffolk, you may also wish to consider visiting Saxmundham or Bury St Edmunds.

Haven't taken your theory test yet?

Putting off taking your theory test might not seem like such a big deal, but any delays could have a serious impact on the smooth running of your course. That’s why we recommend that our learners add their theory test onto their booking. That way, we’ll be able to schedule it for you, ensuring that it fits with your lessons and future practical test.

Driving in and around Ipswich

No matter what time of year you take your test, the types of roads you’re likely to encounter on the big day will be very similar. To help you get used to things ahead of time, your instructor will balance your lessons between time spent closer to your pickup point and roads that commonly appear on your test routes. This way, you’ll feel confident going into your practical.

Most learners find driving instructors in Ipswich by searching online or through a recommendation.

Driving Schools in Ipswich

Instead of learning to drive with an independent driving instructor, some people choose to learn with a driving school. Driving schools tend to offer a slower, more traditional approach to learning to drive than intensive course specialists like PassMeFast.  

The major downside of the traditional 1- or 2-hour weekly lesson is that you don’t get to book a test until your instructor thinks you are ready — and with most test centres in Suffolk being fully booked months in advance, you could end up waiting a long time (and wasting money on lessons to stop your skills from getting rusty while you wait). 

PassMeFast works around you and your schedule, and your lessons will be at a pace that works for you in a modern, goal-focused way. PassMeFast is the faster and easier route to driving — we’ll do all the admin, our courses include a fast-tracked practical test date, and your driving instructor will pick you up from home or work.

How many practical driving lessons do I need?

There isn't a hard and fast rule on how many practical driving lessons you need in order to pass your driving test. Everyone is different, and some people need more, whilst other people learn quickly and can pass their test with fewer lessons.

However, the DVSA recommends that each person takes 45 hours of professional driving lessons and 22 hours of private practice before taking a driving test.
