Pass plus grant for newly qualified drivers

We give a £100 grant towards the cost of Pass Plus. This is for newly qualified drivers.

No further applications can be made at present. Available funding for this project has been utilised.

A further round of funding is expected to open around April 2024. 

What is Pass Plus?

Pass Plus lets you build on existing skills and knowledge, gain valuable driving experiences and reduce the risk of road traffic accidents. It helps to increase your driving competency and may also entitle you to cheaper car insurance.

The training involves six sessions with a Pass Plus registered driving instructor to give you experience of driving in town, on rural roads, in all weathers, on dual carriageways and motorways and also driving in the dark

When you get the grant

After approval of your application, you will receive a voucher. You can then arrange to take the six modules of the course. When you complete the course you will be issued with a Pass Plus certificate by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA). Return the voucher to the Traffic and Transportation section with a copy of your official DVSA Pass Plus certificate, record of modules, and completed evaluation form. We will then send you a cheque for £100.
