What is Pass Plus?

Just passed? Now build real confidence.

Pass Plus is a practical training course, created by the DVSA, to help newly qualified drivers improve their skills and drive more safely. It takes at least 6 hours and can be taken at any time β€” though it's most useful in the year after passing your test, while motorways, night driving and busy traffic still feel unfamiliar.

Delivered by a Pass Plus registered Approved Driving Instructor No separate Pass Plus test β€” you're assessed throughout the course May help with a car insurance discount, depending on your insurer

Automatic specialist

Learn in a car built for focus.

As an automatic specialist, AK Automatic Driving School delivers Pass Plus entirely in an automatic car. Without gear changes and clutch control to think about, your attention can go where it matters most during post-test training β€” observation, planning, hazard awareness, road positioning and speed control. We wouldn't claim automatic driving is inherently safer, but for many drivers it removes one layer of mental workload during genuinely demanding modules like motorways and night driving.

More attention on observation and planning Reduced mental workload in heavy traffic One-to-one, personalised throughout

Key benefits

Why Pass Plus is worth it.

Most drivers pass their test but still find certain real-world situations unfamiliar. That's normal β€” Pass Plus addresses it directly.

Real confidence

Feel comfortable driving in situations beyond the roads you know well.

Safer driving

Better awareness, planning and control across a wider range of conditions.

Less anxiety

Structured reassurance for nervous drivers who want extra support after passing.

Fast, focused

Structured real-world experience packed into six efficient hours.

Insurance & certificate

What happens after completion.

Once you've reached the required standard in all six modules, your instructor completes a training report, which you both sign β€” this is what you'll need to apply for your Pass Plus certificate.

Insurance discounts are not guaranteed

Some insurers may offer a discount after you successfully complete Pass Plus, but this isn't guaranteed and the amount varies by provider β€” not all insurers offer one. You may need your Pass Plus certificate when applying, so always check directly with your own insurer.
