For newly qualified drivers in Oxford and surrounding areas
Pass Plus course in Oxford.
Passing your driving test is a major achievement, but learning does not stop once you have received your full driving licence. Pass Plus is designed to help newly qualified drivers build confidence and gain experience in situations they may not have encountered during their lessons.
What is Pass Plus?
Pass Plus is a practical training course developed by the DVSA for drivers who have recently passed their practical driving test.
The course is designed to help new drivers gain experience in a wider range of road and traffic conditions whilst improving confidence, awareness and decision-making.
Unlike a driving test, there is no final examination. Instead, your instructor will assess your progress throughout the course and help you develop the skills needed for safe driving in a variety of situations.
Who is Pass Plus for?
Whether you passed recently or have held your licence for a short period, Pass Plus can help you become a more confident and capable driver.
- Newly qualified drivers
- Drivers looking to build confidence after passing
- Drivers with limited experience on faster roads
- Drivers who want additional motorway experience
- Drivers who would like further professional guidance after passing their test
