Pass Plus Lessons
About The Course
The Pass Plus course is a practical training course designed to help newly qualified drivers in the UK enhance their driving skills and gain experience in various driving conditions. It was introduced by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) in collaboration with driving instructors and insurance companies. There is no further test to take and Upon completing the Pass Plus course, participants receive a certificate. Some insurance companies offer discounts to drivers who have completed the course, as it is seen as a commitment to further driver education and improved road safety. The Pass Plus course is conducted by approved driving instructors (ADI) who have undergone additional training to deliver the course, which consists of six modules that cover different aspects of driving. These modules aim to provide additional training and experience in various driving conditions beyond what is covered in the standard driving test. Here are the six modules of the Pass Plus course:
