Post-test driver training Nottingham
Pass Plus training Nottingham
Pass Plus is practical post-test training for qualified drivers who want supported experience across a wider range of roads and driving conditions. Build skills for town, rural, night, dual carriageway, motorway and changing-weather driving in and around Nottingham.
Your licence is the beginning
Build experience beyond the driving test
Passing the practical test proves you can drive independently to the required standard. Pass Plus develops the situations many new drivers have experienced only briefly, or not at all.
Broaden your driving
Move beyond familiar learner routes and gain supported experience across faster, darker and less predictable roads.
Read risk earlier
Improve anticipation, space management and decision-making before a developing situation becomes urgent.
Drive with a plan
Build calm routines for unfamiliar journeys, changing weather and the higher speeds of major roads.
Who it helps
Who Pass Plus training is suitable for
The official scheme can be taken at any time, although GOV.UK says it may be most useful to new drivers during the first year after passing.
Your first year alone
Replace uncertainty with coached experience before difficult journeys become unavoidable.
First high-speed journeys
Learn safe joining, lane discipline, overtaking, signs and leaving the motorway.
Nervous after passing
Develop new situations gradually with calm support and useful reflection.
Limited road variety
Extend your experience into rural roads, darkness and difficult conditions.
The official syllabus
The six Pass Plus training modules
Pass Plus training takes at least six hours and covers six areas. Sessions should be practical, although local conditions can mean part of a module is discussed rather than driven.
Driving in town
Observation, vulnerable road users, complex junctions, busy traffic and creating safe space.
All-weather driving
Grip, visibility, stopping distance and safer decisions in rain, glare and poor conditions.
Rural roads
Limit points, bends, narrow roads, hidden hazards, safe speed and overtaking judgement.
Driving at night
Headlights, reduced visibility, reflections, fatigue awareness and adapting your speed.
Dual carriageways
Joining, lane choice, safe gaps, overtaking, slip roads and planning at higher speed.
Motorways
Smart-motorway awareness, signs, lanes, junctions, breakdown planning and safe progress.
Assessment throughout
How Pass Plus training works
You are assessed as the course develops. Completion means reaching the required standard in all six modules, not simply attending for six hours.
Starting conversation
Discuss your experience, confidence, usual journeys and the roads you want to master.
Practical training
Work through the six modules with coaching adapted to the conditions and your ability.
Standard reached
Demonstrate sound observation, judgement and control across each part of the syllabus.
Certificate application
Use the signed training report to apply to DVSA for your official Pass Plus certificate.
Useful protection against overpromising
Pass Plus and car insurance discounts
Some insurers may offer a discount after you complete Pass Plus, but not every insurer participates and the saving varies. Check directly with insurers before booking if a discount is your main reason for taking the course.
- You need the official Pass Plus certificate to claim a participating insurer’s discount
- Not all insurance companies offer a reduction
- The saving depends on the insurer and your individual quotation
- Drivers who passed over a year ago should check eligibility with the insurer
- The strongest benefit is broader experience and safer independent driving
Check the official GOV.UK Pass Plus guidance, The Highway Code and official motorway guidance. Insurance discounts are never guaranteed.
Transparent pricing

Training is £42.50 per hour. Course timing can be arranged around suitable conditions, particularly for night driving and weather-related learning.
Local advanced training
Pass Plus training across Nottingham
NGPass Driving Academy combines local urban experience with suitable rural, dual-carriageway and motorway training routes, selected for the module and current conditions.
A Pass Plus course in Nottingham should expose you to more than the roads used before your test. Urban sessions can develop judgement around tram-side roads, bus lanes, multi-lane approaches and vulnerable road users. Training then extends into faster dual carriageways, rural roads and motorway journeys where planning must reach further ahead.
Teaching since 2010, NGPass Driving Academy provides calm, one-to-one Pass Plus driving lessons in Nottingham in an automatic car. The focus is not on collecting a certificate as quickly as possible. It is on giving a newly qualified driver the judgement, motorway confidence and adaptable habits needed for safer journeys after the course.
You can also explore automatic driving lessons in Nottingham, motorway driving lessons in Nottingham, refresher driving lessons in Nottingham and night driving lessons in Nottingham. See all driving services and the areas covered.
