What is Pass Plus?
Pass Plus is a practical training course that takes a minimum of 6 hours to complete and is designed for drivers to improve their skills.

Pass Plus consists of 6 modules, each of them designed to give the driver experience driving:
In town/city centre
In all weathers
On rural roads
At night
On dual carriageways
On motorways
All modules should be covered by practical sessions, although local conditions may mean that some are theory based - you won't be able to practice driving in the snow in the middle of July!
