Why bother
The first year is the risky one
What The Test Never Asked You To Do
The practical test lasts about forty minutes and stays close to Cowley. It never takes you on a motorway, never happens in the dark, and rarely happens in bad weather. Pass Plus fills in those gaps while you still have an instructor beside you.
Your first motorway, supervised
Joining, lane discipline, overtaking and leaving, done on the M40 in a dual controlled car rather than alone on a Friday afternoon.
Driving in the dark
Headlight use, glare from oncoming traffic, judging speed and distance when the reference points you rely on have disappeared.
Weather you cannot practise on demand
Rain, spray, fog and ice change stopping distances and grip. We cover the technique whatever the sky is doing on the day.
A certificate insurers recognise
Complete all six modules and DVSA issues a Pass Plus certificate. Some insurers offer a discount for it, though not all do, so check with yours before you book.
Just passed?
The next step after test day
You Have Your Licence, Now Build Confidence
Passing your test is a great day. Pass Plus helps you keep that momentum, with six hours of driving on roads the test does not cover, like motorways, rural roads and night driving.

1
Get in touch
Call, email or book online. Tell us whether you want manual or automatic and roughly when you passed.

Drive all six modules
Town, weather, rural, night, dual carriageway and the M40 motorway run. Your instructor assesses you as you go, so there is no test at the end.

Where The Six Hours Actually Happen
Oxford is unusually good for Pass Plus. Motorway, dual carriageway, tight medieval city streets and proper country lanes all sit within twenty minutes of each other.
Motorway module
M40 near Wheatley
Wheatley · OX33
The motorway module. Slip road, merging, lane discipline, overtaking and leaving, at motorway speeds with dual controls in the car.
Dual carriageway module
A34 at Botley
Botley · OX2
The dual carriageway module. Fast joining, lane choice and the short, busy slips that catch new drivers out.
Town module
Oxford city centre
Central Oxford · OX1
The town module. Narrow streets, cyclists, buses, pedestrians and one way systems, all at once.
Rural module
Lanes towards Stanton St John
East of Oxford · OX33
The rural module. Blind bends, no white lines, mud on the road and the occasional tractor or horse.
Night module
Cowley and Blackbird Leys
East Oxford · OX4
Night driving on lit residential roads before moving to darker outskirts. Also where the Cowley test centre routes run.
Observation and lane planning
Oxford ring road and Headington
Headington · OX3
Multi lane roundabouts, bus lanes and heavy hospital traffic. Good for observation and lane planning under pressure.
We pick up across Oxford: Headington, Cowley, Iffley, Jericho, Summertown, Botley, Marston, Littlemore and Blackbird Leys. We also cover Wolvercote, Cumnor, the OX2 9 side of Botley, Kidlington and the OX5 villages, Wheatley, Abingdon and Bicester on our out of area rate.
What we offer
Everything else we do in Oxford
Not Passed Yet? Start Here Instead
Pass Plus is for drivers who already hold a full licence. If you are still learning, or you have a licence but have not driven in years, one of these will suit you better.
Automatic lessons
Two pedals, no clutch and no stalling. The most popular choice in Oxford, especially for city driving.
Manual lessons
A manual licence lets you drive both. Worth it if you may need a work van or a hire car abroad.
Intensive courses
Passed your theory and want to get on with it? Lessons packed into days rather than spread over months.
Refresher lessons
You have the licence but not the confidence. Book a couple of hours and get it back without starting over.
Student and NHS rates
Discounted blocks for Oxford students and NHS staff, with pickup from campus or the JR and Churchill.
Questions first

Frequently asked questions
Pass Plus: Your Questions Answered
What is Pass Plus?
Pass Plus is a practical training course set by DVSA for drivers who have already passed their test. It takes at least six hours and covers six modules: town driving, all weather driving, rural roads, night driving, dual carriageways and motorways. It can be taken at any time, although it is most useful in the year after you pass.
How much does Pass Plus cost in Oxford?
Our Pass Plus course is £300 for the full six hours across our Oxford area, and the DVSA certificate is included in that price. Wolvercote, Cumnor, Harcourt Hill and the OX2 9 side of Botley (OX2 8 and OX2 9), Kidlington and the OX5 villages (OX5), Wheatley, Abingdon and Bicester run on our out of area rate, so please call 01865 763458 for the price if you are picking up from there.
Is there a test at the end of Pass Plus?
No. There is no test. Your instructor assesses you throughout the course, and to complete it you need to reach the required standard in all six modules.
Will Pass Plus reduce my car insurance?
It may. Some insurers offer a discount to drivers who hold a Pass Plus certificate, but not all of them do, and the size of any discount varies. We would suggest checking with your own insurer before you book so you know where you stand.
Do you do the motorway module for real?
Yes. We drive the motorway module on the M40 near Wheatley. DVSA does allow some modules to be covered as theory where local conditions make practical driving impossible, but Oxford has a motorway on its doorstep, so we use it.
How do I get my Pass Plus certificate?
When you have reached the required standard in all six modules, your instructor gives you a training report form. You and your instructor both sign it, then you send it to Pass Plus, DVSA, 1 Unity Square, Nottingham, NG2 1AY. The certificate is posted to you and should arrive within two weeks.
Can I take Pass Plus in an automatic car?
Yes. We run Pass Plus in both manual and automatic. Just tell us which you want when you book and we will allocate the right instructor.
How soon after passing should I do Pass Plus?
You can take it at any time, but it is designed to be most useful in the year after you pass, while the habits from your lessons are still fresh. If you have not driven much since passing, it is worth booking a refresher session first so the six hours are spent on new skills rather than revision.
