Intensive Driving Courses
Select this option for our intensive courses including our unique Pass N One Week Courses.
Training courses are planned out intensively over 1-4 weeks leading up to a pre-booked test date.
You'll book the intensive course first, then book your driving test. Once a test date has been secured, and you've communicated the test date to Pass N Go, all your training sessions will be planned, this happens around 6-8 weeks prior to your test date.
If you haven't passed your theory test yet, once you buy the course, you can purchase a theory test separately from us and we'll book that for you first, then, after that has been passed, we'll plan your course. Intensive courses have a higher pass rate due to the nature of compacting your training into a shorter timeframe allowing you to retain more information between training sessions.

Learning to Drive in Folkestone
Learning to drive in Folkestone is demanding. Steep hills run directly into busy town routes, coastal roads are exposed to wind, and fast A-roads connect the town to the motorway network.
You’ll move quickly between tight residential streets, sharp gradients, large roundabouts, and high-speed routes leading toward the M20 and Channel Tunnel terminals.
Learners need strong hill control, early planning, and confident speed management.
Our DVSA-approved driving instructors teach across Folkestone town centre, Cheriton, Sandgate, Hawkinge, and surrounding areas. Lessons focus on real driving conditions — not memorised routes.
Manual and automatic lessons are available, with lesson times to fit around work, study, and shift patterns.
Why Driving in Folkestone Needs Control
Folkestone test routes reward restraint and planning over speed.
Your driving test may include:
- Steep hills and downhill sections requiring careful speed control.
- Narrow residential streets with limited visibility.
- Busy town-centre traffic near shopping areas.
- Large roundabouts feeding A-road and motorway traffic.
- Fast A-road sections such as the A259 and A20.
- Coastal roads exposed to crosswinds.
- Independent driving using signs or sat-nav.
Examiners expect calm judgement, correct positioning, and steady progress.
