Why Choose Passplus With Connect Driving School?
Passing your test is just the beginning. At Connect Driving School in Surbiton Tolworth, our Pass Plus and advanced driving courses are designed for drivers who want to go further than the basics and build real confidence on every type of road.
Our DVSA approved instructors do not follow a generic script. Every session is shaped around your actual driving habits, your weak spots, and your goals, because no two drivers are the same and no two lessons should be either.
From motorway driving and night driving to rural roads and town centre traffic, our courses cover the real-world situations that your driving test never prepared you for. The result is sharper hazard perception, stronger car control, and the kind of calm, confident driving that comes from proper training.
Pass Plus can also help reduce your car insurance premium, making it a smart investment right after passing your test. Whether you are a new driver looking to lower costs or an experienced driver wanting to sharpen your skills, Connect Driving School has a course built around you.
What Does The Passplus Course Cover?
Passplus is an official training programme developed by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA), built specifically for drivers who have recently passed their test. The course runs for a minimum of 6 hours and is structured around six practical modules, each one targeting a different driving environment that newly qualified drivers are likely to encounter in everyday life.
How The Passplus Modules Work
- Pass Plus is six modules, each one covering a driving situation that your test touched on but never really prepared you for. Here is what you will actually work on:Town Driving: Town roads are where most new drivers feel it first. The parked cars, the busy junctions, the constant decisions. We slow it all down and teach you to read what is coming before it arrives.Driving in All Weathers: A wet road is a completely different experience to a dry one. We cover the adjustments that most drivers only figure out after something goes wrong.Rural Roads: Narrow lanes and blind bends catch drivers off guard more than most people realise. We work on positioning, patience, and learning to read the road ahead rather than just reacting to it.
Dual Carriageways: Merging and overtaking can feel like a gamble when you are new to it. By the end of this module, it will not feel that way anymore.
Motorway Driving: This is where the gap between a new driver and a confident one shows most. Lane discipline, following distances, mirror checks. We spend proper time here because it genuinely matters.
Night Driving: Everything feels slightly different after dark. We cover the small adjustments that add up to a much safer and calmer experience on night roads.
By the time all six modules are complete, the goal is not just more hours behind the wheel. It is a clearer, calmer understanding of how to think through each situation before it catches you off guard.
Can Pass Plus Help Me Save Money on My Car Insurance?
Completing a Pass Plus course shows insurers that you are a more skilled and safer driver, which can lead to discounts on your car insurance premiums. The amount you save will vary depending on your insurance provider and personal circumstances. Some insurers offer newly qualified drivers who have completed the Pass Plus scheme a reduction of up to 30% off their annual vehicle insurance costs.
It is important to understand that while Pass Plus can contribute to lower car insurance premiums, this is not guaranteed for every driver. Other factors that influence your auto insurance costs include your age, driving history, vehicle type and location. To find the best policy and rate for your needs, it is always worth shopping around and comparing car insurance quotes from multiple providers.
Is There a Pass Plus Final Exam at the End?
The good news is that the Pass Plus course has no formal test at the end. Instead your DVSA approved instructor will assess your driving abilities throughout each session and provide you with honest feedback and practical tips on how to continue improving.
The Pass Plus programme is structured across six modules covering a range of real driving situations. Once you have completed all six modules to your instructor’s satisfaction, you will receive an official certificate from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). It is worth checking with your car insurance provider to see whether your Pass Plus certificate qualifies you for a discount on your premiums.
Pass Plus Course Booking in the United Kingdom
You can book your Pass Plus course by contacting a Pass Plus certified ADI instructor or a driving school that offers the programme. A full list of registered instructors and driving schools can be found on the Pass Plus website or by calling your local driving test centre.
Once you have chosen your instructor or driving school, you can arrange your sessions at a time that works around your schedule. The training is typically divided into six modules each lasting around an hour. Depending on your availability, you can complete the entire course in a single day or spread it across multiple days.
Before starting, make sure you hold a full UK driving licence and have passed your practical driving test within the last 12 months. If you have not yet passed your test, take a look at our intensive driving course to get test-ready quickly. It is also worth asking your car insurance company whether they offer any discounts for completing the Pass Plus scheme.

Anyone who has passed their driving test, regardless of age or driving experience, is eligible for the Pass Plus course.
Yes, taking the Pass Plus course could help you save money on your car insurance costs. The amount of the reduction varies according to your insurance provider and area, but it may be up to 30% off your annual insurance price.
Pass Plus courses vary in price depending on the driving school and area. However, the average Pass Plus course in the UK costs between £180 and £220. Furthermore, if you book a Pass Plus course in conjunction with your driving lessons, the cost of the course may be reduced.
Pass Plus is not your typical intensive driver training program. Pass Plus may require some time commitment to complete, but it is not as hard as a traditional intensive driving course, and it is not entirely focused on passing your driving test quickly. Instead, it is meant to help you become a safer and more confident driver.
