Intensive “crash” driving courses in
Castle Douglas

At Fast pass intensive driving school we provide crash courses in driving in and around the Castle Douglas area.
We can generally arrange courses that can be done in either a manual or automatic vehicle, being conducted in the instructor’s dual controlled car, and including a practical test and a theory if needed.

Castle Douglas intensive courses enable you to learn to drive in just one or two weeks, with 3 to 8 hours of driving lessons each day booked over a small number of days.
A practical test is usually booked for the end of the week, and qualified local driving instructors provide the tuition.

Even if you haven’t yet passed your theory test, this can be organised as part of your course, and we offer free online theory tests with thousands of questions and hundreds of video clips to help you pass. If you’ve booked your own test, fastPass, can arrange local lessons up to that test date for you.

If you need to take a practical test quickly and have already passed your theory test, a residential course could be your best answer. There are some areas in the UK where tests are available almost on demand, but you will have to pay extra for bed and breakfast and to get to that area to take the course, but we’ll do the extra work necessary to make those arrangements if that’s what you want to do.
(The additional costs associated with residential courses are not included in our website quote.)
