Pass Plus.
Pass Plus comprises six modules, each covering a different aspect of driving. These modules are:-
- Town driving
- All-weather driving
- Out of town driving & rural roads
- Night driving
- Driving on dual carriageways
- Driving on motorways
Some of the aspects may be covered in theory only, such as weather and night driving which require conditions that may be hard to replicate especially in the summer, or motorway driving if there is no motorway nearby. However, this is only done when a practical training session is not possible.
The scheme takes a minimum of six hours to complete. There is no examination at the end of the Pass Plus course; rather, a certificate is awarded once the instructor is satisfied with the candidate’s competence.
Each module must be completed to an achieved or exceeded standard, in order to pass:
Achieved: successfully reached the standard required for each of the competencies.
Exceeded: exceeded the required standard for each of the competencies.
If a module is completed in theory achieved is the highest standard possible as the candidate does not have an opportunity to practically demonstrate their competence.
