GetMyPass runs intensive driving courses right across Norfolk. Whether you are in Norwich, Great Yarmouth and King's Lynn, our DVSA-approved instructors get you test-ready fast. Choose your area below or get in touch to book.
Norfolk is flat, wide-open East of England country, and that shapes what an intensive course here actually involves: long straight A-roads and B-roads between market towns, dual carriageways feeding into Norwich, and a coastline that pulls traffic through Great Yarmouth in summer. Courses run across the county’s main towns, taking in Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn and Thetford, matched with a local instructor who knows the test routes rather than a generic script.
The county’s three DVSA test centres do not perform the same.
Norwich (Peachman Way) posts a 58% pass rate, well above the 50% national average, while Kings Lynn sits at 46% and Norwich (Jupiter Road) at 44%, both below it. That spread matters when a learner is deciding where to sit a test: the centre chosen affects the routes, the traffic patterns, and realistically the odds on the day, so it is worth treating as a genuine decision rather than an afterthought.
GetMyPass covers 4 towns across Norfolk, working with DVSA-approved local instructors at 2 local DVSA test centres. Our intensive courses run 6-8 hours per day and can take you from beginner to test-ready in as little as one week.
Pass rates across Norfolk ranged from 41% to 48% in 2024/25. Our structured day-by-day approach means you build genuine driving confidence fast, arriving at the test centre properly prepared.
Whether you’re in Norwich, King’s Lynn or Great Yarmouth, we match you with an instructor who knows your local test routes – covering pickup from your home or workplace.

Norwich (Peachman Way) leads at 58%, eight points above average, while Kings Lynn (46%) and Norwich (Jupiter Road) (44%) both fall below it. A learner based near Norwich effectively has a choice between two centres with a 14-point gap between them. Since learners book their own tests directly with DVSA, nothing stops you sitting your test at whichever of the county’s centres suits your routes and confidence best, provided you can get to it on the day.
FAQs, intensive driving courses in Norfolk
How much does an intensive driving course cost in Norfolk?
Courses in Norfolk start from £180, a deposit that secures your instructor for the length of course you book, not the full price of lessons. Deposits are charged at £18 per hour, with tiers running £180/£360/£630/£900 depending on how many hours you need. Lesson fees themselves are paid directly to your instructor. On top of that, the DVSA practical test fee is £62 on a weekday or £75 on an evening or weekend, and that fee is never included in the deposit or lesson price.
Who provides the driving lessons in Norfolk?
Lessons across Norfolk’s towns, from Norwich and Great Yarmouth to King’s Lynn and Thetford, are delivered by a local qualified driving instructor rather than any central staff. A deposit from £180 secures that instructor’s time for your course, and the instructor is then paid directly for the lessons they deliver. This means you get someone who already knows the Norfolk test routes and the county’s three DVSA centres, rather than a generic booking with no local knowledge.
Can I choose which Norfolk test centre I sit my test at?
Yes. Since 12 May 2026, learners book their own practical tests directly with DVSA rather than through a provider, so you decide which centre to use. In Norfolk that means a choice between Norwich (Peachman Way), which has a 58% pass rate, and Kings Lynn (46%) or Norwich (Jupiter Road) (44%). Once a test is booked you can change the date, with at least 10 working days’ notice and a limit of two changes, for a £62 weekday or £75 evening/weekend fee.
Are automatic courses available across Norfolk?
Automatic intensive courses can be arranged with instructors covering Norfolk, in the same way manual courses are: a deposit from £180 secures the instructor, charged at £18 per hour, and lesson fees are paid directly to them once lessons begin. Whether automatic tuition is available at a given time depends on which instructors are free locally around Norwich, Great Yarmouth, King’s Lynn and Thetford, so it is worth confirming when you enquire rather than assuming every slot covers both transmission types.
