–Pass Plus–
With ALP Driving you can continue your journey once you’ve passed your practical driving test, with Pass Plus, to help make you an even safer driver and have that extra advantage on the road. Read on for more information.
What is Pass Plus?
Pass Plus is a course which takes a minimum of 6 hours to complete, and it is designed to improve your driving skills and knowledge after you’ve passed your practical test.
This course must be delivered by a fully qualified driving instructor who is registered to do Pass Plus with the DVSA.
Pass Plus consists of six different modules, all designed to give you experience in each area. These modules are:
All weather driving
Town/City driving
Night driving
Driving on rural roads
Dual carriageway driving
Motorway driving
You will get some experience in most of these areas during your normal driving lessons, but this depends on where you live and time constraints, and also the time of year you learn. By doing Pass Plus you’ll get full and intensive lessons focusing on one particular module at a time.
Who can take a Pass Plus course?
Anyone who has passed their practical driving test can take a Pass Plus course, but it’s mostly for new drivers.
Will there be a test at the end of my Pass Plus course?
There is no test at the end of a Pass Plus course. Instead, your instructor will assess you throughout the course and complete training forms to keep track of your progress. You’ll need to reach the required standard in each module.
Once the Pass Plus course is completed, you must send your training report form, signed by your instructor and you, to the DVSA to receive your certificate of completion. This will be sent to the following address:

Will my car insurance be cheaper if I complete a Pass Plus course?
Some insurers will potentially be cheaper having completed Pass Plus. You’ll be asked to provided your certificate from the DVSA as proof.
How much does Pass Plus cost?
Pass Plus lessons are charged at the normal rate, however motorway lessons may cost a small amount more, depending on location.
