Intelligent Instructor Awards 2026
22nd January 2026
We need your help.
When we started Pass N Go, we had one mission: help people become safer, more confident drivers. we weren’t the obvious choice. We were the new ones. The ones trying to do things differently in an industry that’s been doing things the same way for decades. We believed driving instructors deserved better support. We believed learners deserved more than just “mirror, signal, manoeuvre.” We believed passing your test should be about becoming a genuinely confident driver, not just memorising routes. A lot of people thought we were mad.
Today, we’re shortlisted for 8 awards at the Intelligent Instructor Awards 2026, and it’s because of you.
Every lesson taught, every pass celebrated, every instructor supported: this recognition belongs to our entire community. Over 50,000 learners have trusted us with their journey, and we’ve built a national network of instructors who share our commitment to excellence.
Voting closes 23rd February. If Pass N Go has been part of your story as a learner, instructor, or supporter, we’d be honoured to have your vote.
Stories like this are why Pass N Go exists. Behind every nomination is a real learner who started with nerves, doubts, or anxiety — and finished with confidence.
I was incredibly nervous to start driving with having anxiety. I decided automatic would be the best fit for me
and I was lucky enough to get the amazing Aaron Kundi. He made it so relaxing and effortless to learn, and
personalised my lessons to fit what worked best for me. Couldn’t imagine learning with anyone else now.
Test pending June.
This is what “great instruction” looks like in practice — calm, personalised, and built around the learner. It’s why thousands of students trust Pass N Go every year, and why our instructors continue to be recognised nationally.
