1. Town driving
2. All-weather driving
3. Out of town driving & rural roads
4. Night driving
5. Dual carriageway

How are you assessed?

You do not have to take another test but you will be assessed throughout the course. To pass you’ll have to reach the required standard in all modules.

You’ll be sent a Pass Plus certificate after you have successfully finished your training.

Insurance discount

Once you’ve completed Pass Plus you may be able to get a car insurance discount. You’ll need your Pass Plus certificate.

The following insurance companies support the Pass Plus scheme and offer a discount on their comprehensive and third part, fire and theft policies when insuring your own car after passing:

• AA Insurance
• Churchill Insurance
• Co-operative Insurance
• Direct Line
• Swinton
• And more…

*Every effort has been made to keep the above list update but companies may update their policies.

Check with insurers that you can still get a discount if you passed your practical driving test more than a year ago.

The amount of discount depends on the insurance company. Not all insurers offer Pass Plus discounts.
