Intensive Driving Courses in Angus

Angus sits on Scotland’s east coast, running from the fishing town of Arbroath and the port of Montrose down to the market town of Forfar, with Dundee just over the county line pulling in learners from across the area. Roads here swing between coastal stretches, national-speed-limit farmland lanes linking the smaller towns, and the tighter one-way systems and junctions in the town centres, so a course has to cover slower rural driving and busier built-up sections in the same week.
The county’s three DVSA test centres post very different results.
Arbroath leads on a 79% pass rate, well above the 50% national average, while Montrose sits at 69% and Forfar is the toughest of the three at 67%. All three are still above the national figure, but the spread matters when a learner is deciding where to sit their test: routes, traffic patterns and examiner familiarity all differ centre to centre, and picking one over another is the learner’s own decision, not something a provider arranges for them.

Arbroath is the strongest test centre in Angus by a clear margin, with a 79% pass rate against the 50% national average, close to 30 points clear. Montrose follows at 69% and Forfar is the toughest sitting at 67%, the only one of the three where more than a third of candidates don’t pass first time. All three beat the national average, so no Angus learner is choosing between a good and a bad option, but a candidate weighing up where to sit their test should still factor in the gap between Arbroath and Forfar, and remember the choice of centre and test date is theirs to make, not fixed by their provider.
FAQs, intensive driving courses in Angus
Which driving test centres are in Angus?
Angus has three DVSA test centres: Arbroath, Montrose and Forfar. Arbroath has the highest pass rate of the three at 79%, Montrose sits at 69% and Forfar at 67%, all comfortably above the 50% national average. Learners across Angus, including those travelling from Dundee, choose which of these three centres to book their test at. GetMyPass instructors work routes around all three so lessons can be tailored to whichever centre a learner has booked.
Which Angus test centre has the best pass rate?
Arbroath has the best pass rate in Angus at 79%, well ahead of Montrose on 69% and Forfar on 67%, and comfortably above the 50% national average for 2025/26. All three Angus centres beat the national figure, so there’s no genuinely weak option in the county, but a learner deciding where to book can weigh the size of that gap when choosing. The final decision on which centre and date to book sits with the learner, not the driving school.
How quickly can I start a course in Angus?
An intensive course in Angus can typically start within a matter of days once a learner has booked their test date and paid the deposit, which starts from £180 and secures an instructor for a fixed run of lessons. Because learners now book their own practical test slot with the DVSA, moving quickly on booking a test date is what determines how soon an intensive block can be scheduled around it, whether the test is sat at Arbroath, Montrose or Forfar.
Who provides the driving lessons in Angus?

The deposit, from £180 at £18 per hour, secures the instructor’s time for the course; lesson fees themselves are paid directly to the instructor.
