Intensive “crash” driving courses in
Houghton-le-spring

At Fast pass intensive driving school we provide crash courses in driving in and around the Houghton-le-spring 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.

Houghton-le-spring 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.

Our fastPass residential course may suit you best if you have already passed your theory test and need to take your driving test quickly even if there is a long waiting period at you local test centre!
If you are willing to travel we are able to book tests within 14 days in some parts of the country and we’ll make the necessary arrangements for you, although any additional cost for travel and accommodation will need to be met by you.
(All extra charges for travel or accommodation will need to be added to any course charge provided on this site)

We understand that choosing the right course can be difficult, which is why fastPass has developed its Intensive Course Calculator.
This will tell you the exact price and availability in Houghton-le-spring for the best course for you.
The actual start date, times and duration of the lessons will be determined by the course you pick, and will be confirmed with you by our staff once you have paid your deposit. As a guide:

  • Complete beginner? 7-14 day = 40 hours
  • Fresh starter? 7-14 days = 30 – 40 hours
  • Halfway there? 7 – 14 days = 25 – 30 hours
  • Almost ready? 3 – 5 days = 15 –20 hours
  • Just failed? 2 – 3 days = 10 hours

You can either book a course which has been recommended by our course calculator through our website, or directly over the phone during our working hours.
