We hear you—so we do intensive courses differently, fitting lessons around your lifestyle and giving you the opportunity to pass fast without sacrificing your schedule. To learn more about the intensive driving courses we offer for learners here in Sunderland, read on.
Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Sunderland
Not sure how to choose the right driving school here in Sunderland? In our book, there are a few things that really matter. After all, you need to make sure you’re getting your money’s worth! So, first on your list should be a school with great driving instructors (with the DVSA’s seal of approval, of course). Then, you’ll want to make sure that lesson times fit around your needs. Fantastic customer service should be a given, and early test dates would be the cherry on top.
As it so happens, PassMeFast offers all this (and more!) to Sunderland’s would-be drivers. We’ve got plenty of courses and prices to choose from, with options available for everyone from a beginner to a learner who’s almost test ready. You can also try out our course recommender to see which one would fit your needs best. That’s not the only way we offer you choice, though: you’ll also have control over the timing of your course, with fully intensive and semi-intensive course structures available.
At PassMeFast, we know that manual cars are the most popular option, but that doesn’t mean they’re the right choice for everyone. That’s why you can take any of our courses in an automatic car. Choose auto on our booking form, and we’ll sort things out for you.
While every learner is different, the quality of all of our courses remains the same. This means you’re guaranteed to be taking your driving lessons with one of our DVSA-registered driving instructors. You’ll also have a dedicated member of our office team looking after you throughout your course, ensuring everything is going smoothly and, crucially, assigning you a fast-track test. By the end of your course, you’ll have beaten the usual waiting times, built up your skills, and be looking forward to a lifetime of safe driving.
If you like the sound of our super speedy Sunderland courses, then we can’t wait to welcome you behind the wheel. Just call us on 0333 123 4949 to discuss your options, or book your driving course online.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Sunderland
It’s always handy being able to take your test close to home, as it means you can spend your lessons practising on roads you’ll already be familiar with. That’s why we’re pleased to say that Sunderland has its own practical test centre, saving you the hassle of travelling outside of the local area. If you are in need of an alternative, try South Shields or Gateshead.
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 Sunderland
As with the practical test, those living locally have an obvious choice when it comes to taking the theory test. The Sunderland theory test centre will suit most learners perfectly, but if you need backups, consider heading north-west to Newcastle or south-east to Middlesbrough.
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?
Whether you’ve never given it a go before or keep failing it, passing your theory test is a vital part of getting your licence. Not only will it provide the foundation for safe driving, but the DVSA make it impossible (literally!) to book a driving test without a valid theory pass. So, you know what to do: add a theory test onto your PassMeFast course. We’ll then make all the necessary arrangements for you, so all you need to do is pass it!
Driving Around Sunderland
As a learner driver, you’re bound to hear plenty of ‘advice’. Some of it is simply untrue, from the idea that you’ll fail your test if you stall through to people claiming they can get you a guaranteed pass. Other tips, though, are sound. In our book, one of the best hints is that knowing the area where you’re due to take your test can give you a real edge on the big day.
If you’re taking your test here in Sunderland, you already have an advantage, as you’ll be covering roads you should already know from your lessons. This means that, whether your examiner is asking you to take the third exit on the roundabout to join the A19 or simply to pull over in a residential part of town, you’ll feel comfortable and ready to show off your skills.

Intensive driving course options and features
Driving Schools in Sunderland
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 Sunderland
Most learners find driving instructors in Sunderland by searching online or through a recommendation. Many instructors use social media or websites to advertise themselves and some are listed on the DVSA website. It can be difficult to find an available instructor — they’re still in very high demand after lockdowns, with some waiting lists up to 4 months long!
