Intensive Driving Courses in Birmingham
Learning to drive in a city like Birmingham brings a unique set of challenges. That’s why it’s crucial to choose a driving school adept at meeting learners’ needs, and which can help even the most nervous novice to become confident behind the wheel.
Here at PassMeFast, that’s exactly what we offer. Better still, we can help you get on the road within weeks. Read on to learn about our intensive driving courses in the Birmingham area.
Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Birmingham
By now, most learners know that traditional driving lessons aren’t the only option on the market—intensive driving courses are here to stay. However, a common misconception is that there’s only one type of course out there: a single, 5-day crash course that assumes all learners start from the same point, have the same requirements, or progress at the same pace.
PassMeFast does things differently. We understand that learners are unique—so, our courses are, too.
We get it - driving in a city like Birmingham can be stressful. Traffic jams in the city centre and tailbacks on the M6 are, often, a sad fact of life. Driving in these conditions can make things worse: all those gear changes! If you’d rather skip the hassle (and the clutch control), then an automatic car is a sound choice.
As one of the UK's largest cities, Birmingham has great public transport links. But if you're sick of getting drenched in the rain while you wait for the bus, you're probably thinking it's about time you start learning to drive.
Not sure where to start with driving lessons in Birmingham? PassMeFast has done the hard work for you. We've gathered everything you need to know in one place — from transmission to prices and everything in between.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Birmingham
When it comes to taking the practical test, Birmingham’s learners are spoiled for choice, with no fewer than six test centres in the city itself: Cocks Moors Woods, Garretts Green, Kings Heath, Kingstanding, South Yardley and Sutton Coldfield. There’s even a seventh Birmingham test centre—Shirley, which is just over the border in Solihull, and which is convenient for those in the Hall Green area. For useful advice, visit the practical test section of our blog.
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 Birmingham
As well as the city’s many practical test centres, there are also two theory test centres to choose from here. The first is the Birmingham theory test centre, which you can find on Dale End in the city centre itself, a short walk from the Bullring and the city’s three major train stations. Alternatively, you could opt for the Sutton Coldfield test centre, which is close to the Four Oaks train station.
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?
Still studying for your theory? Not sure whether you’ll need a 5 hour or 5 day revision plan? No matter how you choose to prepare, one of the smartest moves you can make is to get your test date booked in early. That way, you won’t face any delays in booking your practical test! Simply add a theory onto your PassMeFast booking, and we’ll arrange the appointment for you.
Driving around Birmingham
Birmingham is a huge, sprawling city—and, as such, your exact learning experience will vary dramatically depending on where you live. You are certain, however, to find a real diversity of conditions, from the relative quiet of Birmingham’s more suburban areas through to the fast pace of the M6 motorway which runs through the city—yep, learners can now take motorway lessons with their instructor!
While all learners’ journeys are unique, the end result is the same: a new pink UK driving licence in your purse or wallet. At PassMeFast, we’ve already helped thousands of learners to achieve exactly that.

It really depends on what works best for you, as well as how many hours of lessons you need. You could finish an intensive driving course in a few days or a week, or you could space out your lessons a little over a few weeks.
Nobody can guarantee that you pass a driving test. The DVSA runs driving tests in the UK, and they hire examiners who decide whether you've passed or failed. Examiners can't be influenced, so it all depends on how you perform on the day. A company offering a guaranteed pass is usually being deceptive and there will be various clauses hidden in the terms and conditions.
If you've not been behind the wheel before, 20 hours of lessons is unlikely to be sufficient to get you test ready. The DVSA state that on average a candidate who passes their test has taken 48 hours of professional lessons, as well as completed 20 hours of private practice. So a 20 hour course is only suitable for a learner who has already had at least 20 - 30 hours behind the wheel. Try our course recommender to understand what the best course is for you.
