Who it's for

The mid tier, for learners part of the way there.

Improver is our most popular course, because it fits the most common situation: you can drive, but there are gaps between you and a confident pass. This is where we close them.

This is for you if…

  • You've had some lessons or practice. The fundamentals are there, moving off, steering, basic road sense, but you're not yet test-ready.
  • Specific things still catch you out. Manoeuvres, roundabouts, complex junctions, lane discipline, or reading fast-moving traffic.
  • You're inconsistent under pressure. Good on a calm day, shaky on a busy one, you need it to hold up every time, including on test.
  • You started before and stopped. Lessons that fizzled out, or a licence you began abroad, now you want to finish the job properly.

Another tier may fit better if…

  • You've never driven at all. Complete beginners deserve the full programme, start with Elite.
  • You're very new, only a handful of hours. You'll want more time than this tier allows; Advanced gives you a thorough route.
  • You're already near test standard. A recent narrow fail or a confident returner just needing polish? Provisional is the shorter, lower-cost option.
  • You're genuinely unsure. Most people are. Tell us your history when you book and we'll recommend the honest right tier, never the most expensive one.

Lost a bit of confidence? Nervous in traffic? That's exactly who this tier is for. Most Improver learners arrive unsure of themselves, and leave driving like it's second nature. Your instructor's job is to rebuild that confidence, patiently, at your pace.

Not quite your level?
10–15 hrs Provisional → Near test standard, a recent narrow fail or confident returner needing a final polish. 35–45 hrs Advanced → Newer learners with limited experience who want a thorough, unhurried route to test. 50 hrs Elite → Complete beginners, the full zero-to-licence programme, maximum support.
What's included

Built to close the gaps, not just add hours.

Every Improver course starts by finding exactly what's holding you back, then spends your hours where they'll make the difference.

Assessment & progress tracking

We start by seeing you drive, pinpoint the gaps, and track your progress against them, so every lesson has a purpose and you can see yourself improving.

Theory training support

Resources and guidance to get your theory solid. The theory test fee is booked and paid separately with the DVSA.

Add-on test available

Home or workplace pickup

Your instructor collects you from home, work, or wherever suits, wherever feasible in your area. More time driving, less time arranging.

Tailored Mon–Sun scheduling

Lessons 7am to 7pm, seven days a week, built around your life. Go fully intensive over a week, or spread it out, your call.

Manual or automatic

Choose your transmission and we'll match you with an instructor who teaches in it. Both options, your call.

Early test-date help

You book your own practical test, we help you find and secure an early slot, watch for cancellations, and offer test-swapping where available.

How it works

A clear path from gaps to pass.

We find what's missing, target it, and build until your driving holds up under any conditions, including test-day nerves.

  1. Choose your hours

    Pick 20, 25 or 30 hours based on your experience, or let us recommend. Tell us your history and target test date when you book.

  2. We assess & plan around your test

    Your first session is an honest assessment. Your instructor maps the gaps and builds a lesson plan that targets them, paced to your test date.

  3. Your instructor picks you up & builds you up

    Expert, local, in your chosen transmission. You'll drill the tricky stuff until it's automatic, then practise it on the roads you'll be tested on.

  4. Mock test, early date & pass

    A mock test confirms you're ready. You book your own practical; we help you land an early date and walk in prepared. Then you're on the road for good.

Pace & scheduling

All in one week, or spread to suit you.

Same hours, your pace. At 20–30 hours the choice really matters, pick the rhythm that fits your time off, your nerves, and the way you learn best.

Fully intensive

Done in about a week

Longer daily lessons packed into roughly one to two weeks. The fastest route to your test, ideal if you can take the time off and want to keep momentum high.

4–5 hrs/day ~1–2 weeks Fastest to test
Semi-intensive

Spread over weeks

Shorter sessions across three to eight weeks. The same total hours, with time between lessons for new skills to settle, often the better choice if your confidence is still building.

2 hrs/session 3–8 weeks Time to absorb
Choose your hours

Three lengths. Pick by experience.

The more ground you've got to cover, the more hours you'll want. Use the guide on each option below, and remember, we assess you before you pay and recommend honestly. Instructor rates vary locally, so enter your postcode at booking for your exact price.

Questions

Improver, answered honestly.

As a rough guide: if you've had regular lessons or steady private practice and mainly need to sharpen specific areas, 20 hours is a sensible start. If you've got the basics but several gaps, manoeuvres, busy junctions, confidence under pressure, most learners choose 25 hours. If your experience is patchy or you want maximum practice across everything, go for 30. You don't have to get it exactly right: we assess your driving before you pay and give you an honest recommendation, and you can top up in five-hour blocks at the same rate.
That's one of the most common situations we see, and it's completely normal. Skills fade when you stop, but they come back faster than they were learned the first time. We begin with an assessment drive to see what's stuck and what needs refreshing, then build a plan around the gaps. Returning, part-trained learners often land in the 25–30 hour range, but we'll tell you honestly once we've seen you drive. No judgement, just a clear route back to test-ready.
Both work well at this length; it comes down to your schedule and how you learn. Fully intensive packs the hours into roughly a week of longer daily lessons, the fastest route to test, ideal if you can take the time off. Semi-intensive spreads the same hours across three to eight weeks in shorter sessions, which fits around work or study and gives skills time to settle between lessons. If your confidence is still building, that spacing can really help things click.
Theory training support is included with every Improver course. The theory test itself is booked and paid separately with the DVSA, we can help you prepare and bundle theory training as an add-on, but the test fee is your own.
GetMyPass covers most of the UK (excluding Northern Ireland). Instructor availability and pricing vary by area, so enter your postcode when you book to see availability and a local price straight away.
No, and be wary of anyone who does. The DVSA examiner decides on the day. What we can promise is honest, structured preparation: an assessment of where you are, a plan that targets your weak spots, mock-test practice, and an instructor who'll tell you straight when you're genuinely ready. That's how you give yourself the best possible chance.

The basics are done.
Let's build the rest.

Book your Improver course, tell us where you're at, and we'll turn the gaps into a confident, test-ready drive.
