Booking an Intensive Driving Course in Barnsley
Are you a beginner driver? Or have you already had plenty of lessons, and just need a refresher course as a last confidence boost? No matter how long you’ve spent on the road, PassMeFast has a course tailored to suit your needs. All of our courses also come complete with a fast-track practical test, helping you to beat the waiting times and pass faster.
Interested in automatic intensive driving lessons in Barnsley?
Automatic and manual cars each have their pros and cons. A manual is generally cheaper to buy and service here in the UK, and offers drivers more control. Manual pass rates are also generally higher than those for automatics—the perception that automatics grant you a guaranteed pass is just another driving test myth!
However, automatics do offer drivers respite from clutch control and gear changes, which can often prove a stumbling block for many. If you'd prefer to take lessons in an automatic, we can help—all of our courses are available in automatic cars!
Booking is simple: just call us on 0333 123 4949, or book online. Once you book, you’ll be assigned a dedicated booking agent, as well as one of our fleet of high-grade, DVSA-approved instructors, who’ll help you become a safe, confident driver.
Why choose PassMeFast for your intensive driving course?
- Automatic and manual courses to suit all drivers
- Flexible driving lessons to fit any schedule
- Learn with experienced instructors
- Home and workplace pickups
- Pass in as little as one week

Theory Test Centres in Barnsley
While the practical test gets the most attention, it’s just as vital that you pass your theory test—without it, you can’t gain your full licence. Learners in Barnsley will need to travel a little to get to their nearest theory test centre, as there isn’t currently one within the town itself. The nearest available theory test centres to Barnsley are in Sheffield and Leeds.
Haven't taken your theory test yet?
You can book a PassMeFast course without having already passed your theory test—just be sure to add it on when booking in.
Driving in and around Barnsley
When learning to drive, you’re likely to spend the majority of your time driving in the area around the test centre where you’ll be taking your test. As there’s a practical test centre in Barnsley itself, this means that you’re likely to be learning on roads that you’ll later be driving on every day—standing you in good stead for real-life driving.
When learning in Barnsley, you’ll have to deal with a wide range of driving scenarios. Much of your driving will take place in residential areas, where you’ll need to be aware of potential hazards at all times. You’ll also need to deal with busier urban roads, including the A628 and A635, which lead into the town centre, and may even have more rural roads to contend with too.
Though learning to deal with the complexity of the roads might seem daunting at first, there’s no need to worry. Our team of instructors have the skills and experience to help you confidently tackle any type of road—from roundabouts to box junctions—with aplomb. What’s more, you can get it all done in days or weeks—not months!
It doesn’t take long to become a fully licenced driver with PassMeFast. Book in online or contact the team to get the ball rolling today.
Driving Instructors in Barnsley
Most learners find driving instructors in Barnsley by searching online or through a recommendation. Many instructors use social media or websites to advertise themselves and some are listed on the DVSA website.

Driving Schools in Barnsley
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 South Yorkshire 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.
