The intensive courses we arrange in South Shields can be 3 to 8 hours every day, over 3 to 15 days.
The practical test is usually taken on the last day of the course, (although this doesn’t necessarily need to be the case, if you prefer to separate the tuition from the test), with each lesson taken by a driving instructor local to your area.

To help you pass your theory test, free online theory tests are available, giving 2,500 questions and 135 video clips to get you ready. Driving lessons without a test attached can also be booked if you have a practical test of your own already arranged.

If your local test centre has an unacceptable wait for new tests and you’ve got a theory certificate pass number, we are able to offer you a residential course to get a quicker test.
Sometimes a course and a test can be set up in two weeks, and we can organise travel and accommodation if you want us to.
(Travel and accommodations will be charged for separately and must be added to our course quotation.)

Deciding the right course for your needs can be hard, so fastPass has created an Intensive Course Calculator.
This will look at South Shields and show you the recommended course for you, together with its price and availability.
Specific start dates will depend on the course, but we’ll agree the exact details and reserve the course after you’ve paid your deposit.
To give you an idea:

• If you’re a Total beginner, we’d suggest 40+ hours over 1 or 2 weeks
• If you’re a Novice, we’d suggest 30 to 40 hours over 1 or 2 weeks
• If you’d class yourself as “Intermediate”, 25 to 30 hours should suit
• As an Experienced learner you might need 15 to 20 hours
• If you Recently failed a test, 10 hours might be enough.

If you want to, once our Calculator process has recommended a choice of courses for you, you’ll be able to select a course online by paying a small deposit, or you can book by telephoning us weekdays between 8 and 8, or Saturdays between 9 and 5.
