Intensive Driving Courses in Newark
With so many things to explore in the Newark area, including the world-famous Sherwood Forest, there are plenty of reasons to want to get out on the roads here. If you’ve been looking for a local driving school, however, you might have found that the only options involve a slow pace, with one lesson per week—or, alternatively, an inflexible intensive school that forces you to take all your lessons within a 5 day period.
Not keen on either option? Want to learn fast—but don’t want to sacrifice your schedule? PassMeFast are the answer! With our driving courses in Newark and the surrounding area, you could be on the road in as little as one week. Learn more about our crash courses here!
Booking an Intensive Driving Course in Newark
Unlike other driving schools, we understand that learners want to get on the road quickly, but don’t want to rearrange their lives around their lessons. That’s why we don’t just offer a single type of course; instead, we have nine different courses, from 5 hours up to 48 hours, designed for learners of all abilities. A learner who’s about ‘halfway there’, for example, might take our 20 hour course.
Interested in automatic intensive driving lessons in Newark?
Taking lessons in an automatic car is becoming more popular—but does it beat learning in a manual? Here are a few of the reasons to go auto:
- There’s no clutch pedal—great if you’re struggling with clutch control
- You won’t have to worry about constant gear changes
- Your driving experience is likely to be smoother
However, there are still plenty of reasons why manual cars rule the UK’s roads…
- Manual cars offer drivers more control…
- …plus, they’re usually cheaper to buy and to service…
- …and they use less fuel than an automatic.
Some extra considerations to take into account include the fact that, if you pass in an automatic, you can only legally drive automatic cars—whilst manual licence holders are deemed fit to drive both transmission. And automatic cars don’t offer the guaranteed pass that many learners expect—in fact, auto pass rates are actually lower than pass rates in manual cars.
In the end, it’s up to you as an individual to decide which gearbox is better for your needs. The good news is that PassMeFast offers you the choice of both manual and automatic driving lessons in Newark—so, no matter which side of the debate you’re on, we’ve got you covered!
Don’t worry if you’re not entirely sure which course is right for you, though: our friendly sales team can assess your prior experience to help you make a decision.
No matter the length, all PassMeFast courses share a few things in common. First, all your lessons will be taught one-on-one by a DVSA-approved instructor. You’ll also get a fast-track practical test as standard, meaning you can take your test weeks or even months ahead of the normal waiting times. Plus, our dedicated team will deal with all the behind-the-scenes work—so all you need to do is drive!

Theory Test Centres in Newark
If you’ve yet to take your theory test, then you’ll want to head to one of the test centres near to Newark to get this pass under your belt sharpish. Unfortunately, there’s no theory test centre in the town of Newark itself, meaning that learners will need to travel to Grantham, Lincoln or Nottingham to get the job done. Check out our guide to passing your theory test to make the journey even smoother!

Driving Schools in Newark
Instead of learning to drive with an independent driving instructor, some people choose to learn with a driving school. Driving schools tend to offer a slower, more traditional approach to learning to drive than intensive course specialists like PassMeFast.
The major downside of the traditional 1- or 2-hour weekly lesson is that you don’t get to book a test until your instructor thinks you are ready — and with most test centres in Nottinghamshire being fully booked months in advance, you could end up waiting a long time (and wasting money on lessons to stop your skills from getting rusty while you wait).
PassMeFast works around you and your schedule, and your lessons will be at a pace that works for you in a modern, goal-focused way. PassMeFast is the faster and easier route to driving — we’ll do all the admin, our courses include a fast-tracked practical test date, and your driving instructor will pick you up from home or work.
