Intensive Driving Courses in Leicestershire
GetMyPass runs intensive driving courses right across Leicestershire. Whether you are in Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley, our DVSA-approved instructors get you test-ready fast. Choose your area below or get in touch to book.
Leicestershire sits in the East Midlands, spanning the city streets of Leicester through to the market towns of Loughborough, Hinckley and Melton Mowbray. Learning to drive here means covering very different ground: Leicester’s ring roads and multi-lane roundabouts one day, Melton Mowbray’s national-speed-limit lanes the next. A course built for the county has to prepare learners for both types of road, not just one.
The county’s five DVSA test centres show how much pass rates can vary by location.
Melton Mowbray leads at 61%, comfortably above the 50.0% national average, while Leicester (Cannock Street) sits at 38%, the lowest in the county. Hinckley sits almost exactly on the national average at 50%, with Loughborough at 44% and Leicester (Wigston) at 41%. Learners across Leicestershire choose which of these five centres to test at, so weighing up these differences before booking a slot with the DVSA is worth doing.

Leicestershire’s five test centres range from Melton Mowbray’s 61% pass rate down to Leicester (Cannock Street) at 38%, a 23-point spread either side of the 50.0% national average. Hinckley sits right on the national figure at 50%, with Loughborough at 44% and Leicester (Wigston) at 41%. Since learners book and choose their own test centre, that gap matters: a quieter, higher-passing centre like Melton Mowbray can mean calmer routes and less traffic pressure on test day, while the busier Leicester centres carry more city-driving demands. Picking a centre is a personal decision, not something anyone else can make for you.
FAQs, intensive driving courses in Leicestershire
Which driving test centres are in Leicestershire?
Leicestershire has five DVSA test centres: Melton Mowbray, Hinckley, Loughborough, Leicester (Wigston) and Leicester (Cannock Street). Pass rates vary across them, from Melton Mowbray at 61% down to Leicester (Cannock Street) at 38%, against a 50.0% national average. Learners book their own test slot directly with the DVSA and choose which of these centres to sit it at. Each centre draws on different local roads, so it is worth considering the driving conditions around a centre, not just its pass rate, when deciding where to test.
Do you cover rural areas of Leicestershire?
Yes. Leicestershire covers market towns such as Melton Mowbray alongside the larger centres of Leicester, Loughborough and Hinckley, so lessons can include national-speed-limit country lanes as well as town and city driving. Building in rural road experience matters here because the driving test itself may use a mix of routes depending on which centre a learner books. A £18 per hour deposit secures your instructor for the course, with lesson fees paid directly to the instructor once lessons are underway.
Who provides the driving lessons in Leicestershire?

A deposit of £18 per hour secures your instructor for the length of course you choose, and lesson fees are paid directly to the instructor, not to GetMyPass.

Can I choose which Leicestershire test centre I sit my test at?

Pass rates differ significantly, from 61% at Melton Mowbray to 38% at Leicester (Cannock Street), so it is worth weighing that alongside travel distance and the type of roads you feel more confident on.
