Automatic intensive
driving courses.
No clutch, no gears, less to juggle. It's the same GetMyPass Method, delivered in an automatic: DVSA-approved instructors, training on your local test-centre routes, hours packed into focused days, and help securing an early test.
One less thing to think about, so you can focus on the road.
In an automatic, the car changes gear for you. There's no clutch pedal and no gear stick to coordinate, which frees up attention for the things the test actually marks: observation, junctions, road position and calm decision-making.
No clutch, no gears
The most common stall-and-fluster moments simply don't exist. No biting point, no stalling at the lights, no hunting for the right gear on a hill.
Often quicker to learn
With less to coordinate, many learners feel road-ready a little sooner. Useful if you're short on time or want to keep the number of hours down.
Calmer for nervous drivers
Fewer pedals and controls means fewer things to go wrong at once. For anxious learners, that can make those first hours behind the wheel a lot less daunting.
Where the cars are heading
More new cars - and every electric car - are automatic. If your future driving is likely to be automatic or EV, learning that way makes practical sense.
Same support, your schedule
Home or workplace pickup, lessons across the week, and an instructor local to your area - exactly as you'd get on a manual course.
Taught by automatic specialists
Every instructor is DVSA-approved and teaches in an automatic, on the local roads you'll be tested on.
The honest bit you should know first. If you take your practical test in an automatic, you get an automatic-only licence. That lets you drive automatic and electric cars, but not manual cars. A manual licence lets you drive both. If you're confident you'll only ever drive automatics or EVs, an automatic licence makes good sense. If you might want a manual one day, you'd need to pass a manual test (now or later). Not sure which is right for you? We also run manual intensive courses - tell us your plans when you enquire and we'll give you a straight recommendation, with no upselling.
The same method that gets you test-ready, just clutch-free.
Going automatic changes the car, not the way we prepare you. Every automatic course runs on the GetMyPass Method: focused, test-centre-specific training that turns your hours into a pass, not just miles on the road.
Test-route training
You train on the exact local test-centre routes, junctions and roundabouts your DVSA examiner uses, not generic practice - so nothing on test day is a surprise.
Focused blocks that stick
Your tuition is packed into focused consecutive days, so you forget less between sessions and skills stick, instead of dragging out over a year of weekly one-hour lessons.
Early-slot help
You book your own DVSA practical test; we watch for cancellations and short-notice slots and time your course to your test date, so you're not waiting months.
Honest hour-matching. We assess your driving before you pay and match you to the right number of hours in an automatic, never oversold. And because automatic is often quicker to pick up, that can mean fewer hours - not a bigger bill. The DVSA benchmark is that most learners need around 45 hours of professional tuition; we build your course from where you genuinely are.
And if you don't pass first time, we help you rebook quickly and keep you with the same instructor for your retest - no starting over.
Automatic suits some learners better than others.
Automatic isn't automatically the right choice for everyone. Here's an honest guide to who tends to get the most out of it - and who might be better off in a manual.
Automatic is a great fit if…
- You're a nervous learner. Fewer controls to coordinate makes those early hours calmer and less overwhelming.
- You're short on time. Less to learn often means fewer hours to test-ready - handy when you need your licence soon.
- You'll drive an automatic or EV. If the car you'll actually use is automatic or electric, it makes sense to learn in one.
- Gears just aren't clicking. If clutch control has stalled your progress in a manual, automatic removes that hurdle entirely.
Manual might suit you better if…
- You'll want to drive manual cars. An automatic test gives an automatic-only licence; a manual licence covers both.
- Your job needs a manual. Some work vehicles, vans and trades still rely on manual cars - check before you commit.
- You want maximum flexibility. A manual licence keeps every option open - any car, hire car, or borrowed car.
- You're not sure yet. That's normal. Tell us your plans when you enquire and we'll recommend the honest right choice for you.
Four course depths, all available in an automatic.
Whatever stage you're at, there's an automatic course to match. Please note the course name describes the depth of the course, not your skill - more hours means starting from less experience, not that you're a worse driver.
Not sure which depth you need? Compare all four courses side by side, or tell us your driving history when you enquire and we'll recommend the right one honestly.
