Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Leeds
Too often, people assume that all intensive driving lessons follow the same pattern: a one-size-fits-all course taken over a 5-day period, with no flexibility or concern for a learner’s individual needs. Luckily, with PassMeFast, the reality is different. We offer courses which are fast but flexible—and, most importantly, comprehensive.
When you book a course with PassMeFast, you’ll get:
- A fast-track practical test as standard, meaning that you can beat the long waiting times for driving tests
- One-on-one lessons from a DVSA-registered driving instructor who’s achieved high grades on ADI check tests
With us, you’ll also have a choice of eight different driving courses, depending on your experience. It’s up to you how to structure your course. Have plenty of spare time and want to get everything done in as little as one week? You could take a fully intensive driving course. Got a busy schedule and want to space things out? Try a semi-intensive schedule.
As the largest city in West Yorkshire, Leeds’ roads see plenty of traffic every day. Unfortunately, this means that a learner here will quickly find out what it’s like to experience stop-start traffic—which can be especially irritating in a manual car. With this in mind, it’s no wonder that more learners than ever are looking to take automatic courses in Leeds.
There are certainly some good reasons to choose an auto; not having to worry about clutch control or gear changes are certainly at the top of the list. However, many learners making the mistake of thinking that an automatic car is a guaranteed pass. In truth, you’ll have to try just as hard in an automatic as you would in a manual. If you still believe an automatic is the right choice for you, though, then go for it—PassMeFast offers automatic courses in Leeds, so we’re happy to help!
At PassMeFast, we’re here to provide excellent service to all learners, regardless of their needs or prior experience. What matters to us is that you become a safe, confident driver for life. To start your journey, call 0333 123 4949, or simply click the button below.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Leeds
If you’ve checked out our guide to the West Yorkshire driving test centres over at the PassMeFast blog, you’ll have noticed that there are not one, but two driving test centres to choose from in the city of Leeds: Leeds test centre, which can be found in the Harehills area of the city, to the east of the city centre, and Horsforth test centre, which is a little to the north-west of the city. This means you’re bound to find one that’s convenient for you—and don’t forget, all lessons and tests come with home and workplace pickups as standard!
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 Leeds
Getting a good theoretical knowledge of driving can help you become a safer driver in the long run. It’s for this reason that all learners have to pass their theory test before they can get their licence—in fact, you won’t even be able to book a practical test without having passed your theory. Learners in Leeds can get this pass in the bag simply by heading to the Leeds test centre located on The Headrow in the city centre, with alternative options to be found in Bradford and Harrogate.
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.

Driving Around Leeds
Learners in Leeds will have different experiences of driving depending on the test centre they’re heading to for their test. If you’re closer to Horsforth and are on the outskirts of the city, you’ll notice a real contrast in conditions between driving on the Ring Road (A6120) and heading out to some of the rural areas nearby. Meanwhile, those taking their test at Harehills will experience plenty of residential areas with different types of pedestrian crossing and junctions mixed in with inner city areas—though don’t count out the possibility of the countryside making an appearance here, too!
No matter where your driving lessons take place, one thing will remain the same: over your course hours, you’ll gradually become confident at operating the car, performing complex manoeuvres, and becoming adept at dealing with a range of hazards. All of this means that, by the time your practical test rolls around, you’ll have a fantastic chance of passing with flying colours—first time.

Intensive driving course options and features
Driving Schools in Leeds
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 West Yorkshire 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 Leeds
Most learners find driving instructors in Leeds 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!
Need a driving instructor in Leeds? PassMeFast do the hard work of matching you with an instructor that suits your availability. We have over 140 driving instructors in West Yorkshire who’ll work around your schedule and help you get on the road in a flash.

FAQs
Seen the words 'crash course' while shopping around for driving lessons? Maybe you're wondering the difference between a crash course and an intensive course? Truth is, there isn't one! They're both ways of referring to driving lessons over a shorter time period. So if you don't want to spread your lessons out over several months (the old-fashioned way) an intensive/crash course is your answer.
Anxiety around driving or learning to drive after going through a trauma can be really difficult. The most important thing is to take your time and don't put too much pressure on yourself. Get as much practice as possible to help you overcome your fear, and be honest with your driving instructor about how you're feeling.
It might also help to talk to a professional, or even just a friend or family member. With time, driving will feel less scary and your confidence will grow alongside your skills.
