What advanced driving involves
- Enhanced skills: learning how to control speed and position safely and systematically.
- Defensive driving: spotting hazards early and taking steps to avoid them.
- Comprehensive training: building experience across different road types and conditions, from busy city streets and motorways to rural roads and poor weather.
Core techniques we teach
One of the key frameworks we use is IPSGA (Information, Position, Speed, Gear, Acceleration). It’s a proven method, also used in police driver training, that helps you make safe, smooth, and well timed decisions at every stage of your drive.
- Information
- Position
- Speed
- Gear
- Acceleration
We also focus on:
- Hazard perception: sharpening your ability to anticipate risks before they develop.
- Vehicle control: mastering smooth steering, braking, and gear changes.
- Restraint: knowing when to hold back and drive cautiously, especially in busy or tricky conditions.
Why take advanced training?
Less stress
Confidence: the more varied your experience, the more relaxed and in control you’ll feel.
Economics
Fuel savings: efficient driving often means lower fuel consumption.
Career boost: advanced skills can look great on a CV, especially in driving related roles.
Safety
Safety first: fewer risks through better anticipation and decision making.
At the end of the course, you won’t just be a more skilled driver: you’ll also be a safer, more confident one.
Refresher lessons
- Ideal if you’ve had a break from driving or want to rebuild confidence
- Tailored to your specific needs, whether that’s city driving, motorways, or parking skills

What Pass Plus is about
Passing your test proves you’ve reached the standard to drive independently, but it doesn’t mean you’ve faced every challenge the road can throw at you. Pass Plus is designed to bridge that gap.
- For new drivers: it’s most useful within the first year of passing your test, but open to anyone who wants to strengthen their skills.
- Focused on safety: you’ll tackle situations that might not have been covered in your lessons, giving you the awareness and confidence to handle them safely.
- Practical and supportive: there’s no formal exam at the end. I’ll guide and assess you through each module to make sure you meet the standard.
Why choose Pass Plus with me?
I’ve been training drivers for over 24 years, always with a focus on safety and building real world confidence. My goal is not just to guide you through a course, but to give you practical skills that last a lifetime.
Benefits of Pass Plus
- Increased confidence: experience more challenging conditions with expert guidance.
- Lower insurance: some insurers offer discounts to drivers who’ve completed the course.

After passing my test at 17, I did Pass Plus with Gregor. He was patient, encouraging, and helped me feel confident on the motorway. Highly recommend.
