Other courses

Pass Plus is an advanced driving course aimed at new drivers, particularly those aged 17- 24 as they are considered to be at most risk. Although any full licence holder can take the course it’s mainly aimed at new drivers in the first year after passing their test.

Statistics show that new drivers are more likely to have an accident in the first two years after passing their test, due to lack of driving experience.

Pass Plus builds on the skills and knowledge that you have gained and It will develop how  you anticipate, plan for and deal with all kinds of hazards, to help you become a more confident driver.

The cost of a Pass Plus course

The full cost of the Pass Plus Course is £175.00 which covers the minimum requirement of 6 hours training. Any additional hours requested or deemed necessary will be charged at £20.00 per hour.

Hampshire County Council offer assistance with the cost of Pass Plus for new drivers aged 17-24 who are resident in Hampshire and have passed their practical Driving Test in the previous 12 months. Once you have been accepted onto their scheme HCC will pay £75.00 towards the course. For further information please contact me or see here Hampshire County Council Young Drivers

Pass Plus modules

Pass Plus consists of six modules each of which deals with driving in different conditions:

Pass Plus is a practical course and all modules are conducted as in car practical sessions. You will not have to take a test at the end of the course but your progress  will be continually assessed by me during the modules. At the start of your course, you will be given a copy of the 'Pass Plus Pupil's Guide' which contains detailed information about all six  Pass Plus modules. Together we will complete a training report form that you’ll sign and date when you reach the required standard in each module. To pass the course you'll need to reach a satisfactory standard in all the course modules. You’ll be given a progress record to help you to keep track of your progress throughout the course. On successfully completing your training you'll be sent your Pass Plus certificate to claim your discount on your car insurance policy.
