Intensive Driving Courses in South Shields
If you’ve been looking around for a driving school here in South Shields, you’ve probably come across plenty of companies making bold claims, from a 5 day wait for a licence through to a guaranteed pass. Here at PassMeFast, though, we focus on quality, not gimmicks. That’s why thousands of learners have already passed with us—and why you could too, in just a few weeks. Read on for full details on our crash courses in South Shields.
Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in South Shields
We’ve been in the driving biz for a while here at PassMeFast, and over time, we’ve come to realise that there are a few thoughts every learner driver has had at some time or another. One of the key worries, though, is that learning to drive can often be a long experience. From dragged-out weekly lessons through to lengthy waits for tests, it’s not always easy out there for a learner!
Thankfully, PassMeFast is different. When you book onto any of our courses (which you can check out on our prices page), you’ll see just how speedy we can be. That’s because we specialise in intensive courses, which can help you to pass within as little as a few days. Don’t worry if that sounds a bit too fast for you, though—if you’ve got a busy schedule, or simply don’t fancy quite such a quick pace, you’re free to spread your lessons out to fit your lifestyle.
If you’ve taken a look at automatic and manual cars and decided that auto is the way to go, then PassMeFast can help. You can book any of our courses in an automatic car simply by selecting this as your preferred transmission. We’ll then assign an instructor to take you for lessons in an automatic car here in South Shields.
We work exclusively with DVSA-registered driving instructors. This means that, when you’re out on the road, you can rest assured that you’re being taught by a consummate pro with a near-encyclopaedic knowledge of the local area. Meanwhile, our office team will be on hand to sort out the admin, as well as securing you an early test date via our unique fast-tracking system. All part of the service for our PassMeFast customers!
Want to pass fast? Don’t put off learning to drive—call us today on 0333 123 4949 to chat about your driving. On the other hand, if you’d rather skip straight to the good bit, book your driving course online. It takes just a few minutes, and you’ll soon be starting your driving journey for real.

So, what are the options available to learners looking to take their practical in this part of Tyne and Wear? Well, South Shields driving test centre is the obvious choice. If you’d rather cast your net a little wider, though, then you may also wish to try out Sunderland and Gosforth.

Theory Test Centres in South Shields

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?
We recommend that all of our students pass their theory test well in advance of their preferred practical test date. This way, you won’t face any unexpected delays should you trip up. If you’d like us to schedule your theory test for you, simply add it onto your booking.
Driving Around South Shields
During your lessons in South Shields, your instructor will start you off by building your skills up on local roads. They’ll also introduce you to some of the trickier road features you may need to tackle during your test itself. This will help you to feel more confident when it comes to factors such as getting into the right lane on time, allowing you to concentrate on developing hazards on the road.
If you’re not familiar with the South Shields test centre, you may not realise that it isn’t found in the middle of town. In fact, you’ll need to head out to the Bede Industrial Estate on the outskirts of Jarrow. Your test itself will take in a real mix of roads, from 70-mph dual carriageways to bustling residential streets.

Intensive driving course options and features
Driving Schools in South Shields
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 Tyne and Wear 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.
Driving Instructors in South Shields
