Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Wigan
Unlike other driving schools, which only offer a single 5 day course, we understand that our learners are individuals. That’s why we have a range of courses for learners ranging from beginners through to those who simply need a quick refresher.
Take our Course Recommender for a quick spin. Answer a few quick and easy questions about your driving experience and we'll tell you exactly what course you need to pass.
Though an automatic car can’t give you a guaranteed pass, it can help you if you’re struggling with gear changes. PassMeFast offer automatic courses in Wigan as well as manual.
All of our lessons are taught by DVSA-registered instructors, and you’ll always learn on a one-on-one basis, ensuring you have the instructor’s full attention at all times.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Wigan
There is a test centre in the Wigan area—but it might not necessarily be in the area you’d expect. In fact, the closest test centre to Wigan is actually the Atherton practical test centre. Aside from Atherton, some in the Wigan area may choose to cross the border into Merseyside to take their test at the St Helens test centre.
Did you know that our courses are designed to give you the best chance of passing. Lessons are scheduled just ahead of your test, keeping learning fresh.
Theory Test Centres in Wigan
While you’ll have to venture outside of the town of Wigan to take your practical test, Wigan theory test centre is very conveniently located on Market Street within the town centre. Again, the next-closest option for learners here can be found in St Helens.
PassMeTheory is an online theory revision session, where we go over the most difficult areas of the test. 9 out of 10 people said they felt more confident about their test after their session.
Haven't taken your theory test yet?
Don’t be daunted by the theory test—simply revise your hazard perception and multiple choice questions to get prepared! Make sure to add a theory test to your course when booking if you haven’t passed.
Driving Around Wigan
At PassMeFast, we always try to ensure our learners have plenty of experience driving around the area where they’ll be sitting their practical test. For learners in Wigan, this usually means you’ll spend some time in the Atherton area, featuring contrasts between A roads like the A577 and rural areas north of the town itself.
Your lessons will also involve you practising and perfecting the manoeuvres you may be asked to demonstrate on your test, including pulling up on the right. You’ll learn a lot—but, by the end of it, your hard work will be rewarded with a brand new full UK driving licence. To learn more, check out the history of the UK driving licence.
