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 Preston
Learning to drive in Preston requires adaptability. Busy city-centre grids sit alongside high-speed dual carriageways, industrial estates, and complex ring-road systems.
You’ll navigate shared-space zones in the city centre, manage motorway-standard approach roads such as the A59 and A583, and then move into suburban streets in areas like Fulwood, Ashton-on-Ribble, and Penwortham.
Learners need strong observation, confident lane discipline, and calm decision-making as road conditions change quickly.
Our DVSA-approved driving instructors teach across Fulwood, Bamber Bridge, Penwortham, Ashton-on-Ribble, and surrounding areas. Lessons focus on real driving you’ll do every week — not memorised routes.
Manual and automatic lessons are available, with lesson times to fit around work, college, and shift patterns.
Why Driving in Preston Tests Your Range
Preston test routes assess how well drivers manage pressure across busy, fast-moving roads.
Your driving test may include:
- Shared-space zones in the city centre with complex pedestrian movement.
- Large multi-lane roundabouts such as Riversway, Mariners Way, and Tickled Trout.
- High-speed approach roads linked to the M6 and M65.
- Industrial estate routes with heavy goods vehicles.
- Suburban residential areas with narrow streets and parked cars.
- Dual carriageways with frequent speed changes.
- Independent driving using signs or sat-nav.
Examiners expect confident speed management, early lane planning, and calm judgement.
