Booking Intensive Driving Lessons in Sheffield
PassMeFast does driving differently. We think that driving shouldn’t be a long, drawn-out process that takes months—but we also think that a one-size-fits-all, 5 day course isn’t right for everyone. We offer a range of different intensive driving courses in Sheffield, with lessons to suit anyone from a complete beginner through to an experienced learner just looking for one last push.
In a busy city such as Sheffield, an automatic car can help spare drivers some of the stress that comes with heavy traffic. That's because autos feature no clutch pedal—and there are no gear changes to worry about, either. PassMeFast offers courses in automatic cars—so, if you'd prefer to learn in an auto, we can sort it for you!
We offer both intensive and semi-intensive courses, meaning that you can pass fast even with a busy schedule.
If you're interested in lessons with our driving school, just give us a ring on 0333 123 4949 to speak to a member of the team—we're always happy to help. Alternatively, if you're feeling ready, you can book your course online.

Practical Driving Test Centres in Sheffield
It’s always better take your driving lessons close to home, as you’ll gain a good understanding of how the roads work in your local area. This means you’ll be aware of what to look out for when driving day-to-day after you’ve passed. Luckily for learner drivers in Sheffield, there are two test centres to choose from in the city: Middlewood Road test centre, to the north of Sheffield, and Handsworth test centre, to the east. Take a look at our ultimate guide to the South Yorkshire driving test centres for more information.

Theory Test Centres in Sheffield
Passing your theory test is a necessary step to getting your full UK driving licence; in fact, you must get your theory test pass certificate before being allowed to take your practical. If you haven’t passed yet, however, don’t worry—you can simply add a theory test onto your course. For most learners in Sheffield, the best option is likely to be the Sheffield theory test centre, which is located in the city centre. Alternative nearby options are available in Chesterfield and Mansfield. Visit our resources page for theory test guides and tips.
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.

Driving Around Sheffield
Sheffield is a city of contrasts: busy urban areas in the city centre, quieter, rural roads on the outskirts of the city. As such, perhaps more than any other major city, Sheffield can be a complex place to learn to drive, with a wide range of potential road types to deal with.
Typically, most students will spend the majority of their course hours learning close to their practical test centre; in Sheffield, this is likely to be either the Middlewood Road centre or Handsworth centre. As both of these test centres are on the outskirts of Sheffield, learners will need to be equipped to deal with residential and rural roads. However, Sheffield is, after all, a city, and you’ll need to deal with busy A roads too: in Handsworth, the A57 (Mosborough Parkway) may feature on your test, whilst in Middlewood Road, you may end up driving along the A61 (Penistone Road) near to Hillsborough stadium.
Whichever test centre you’re learning at, your PassMeFast instructor will ensure you’re up to test standard ready for you to ace your practical. Take your first step to learning to drive in Sheffield with us. Book your course today to get started.

Intensive driving course options and features
Driving Schools in Sheffield
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, and your driving instructor will pick you up from home or work.
Driving Instructors in Sheffield
Most learners find driving instructors in Sheffield 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. It can be difficult to find an available instructor — they’re still in very high demand after lockdowns, with some waiting lists up to 4 months long!

FAQs
Learning to drive isn't a race, so it's important not to rush towards the end in an attempt to pass your driving test. Take it at your own pace and let your ability tell you when you're ready for a test. The length of time it takes someone to learn to drive varies a lot, due to things like availability, price, and learning methods.
It's easier to measure how long it takes by the amount of driving lessons you take. The DVSA recommends 45 hours of driving lessons and 22 hours of private practice before someone is fully ready for their driving test.
