What's included
- 9 hours of focused one-to-one lessons with a senior instructor
- A full 1-hour mock test under real test conditions
- A review of your DVSA test report, if you've already taken a test
- An assessment drive to see where you're at right now
- Finding the real reason behind any serious or dangerous fault
- A coaching plan built around your needs
- Practice on local Oxford test routes and tricky areas
- Training on observation, planning, positioning and decision-making
- Help with test-day nerves
- A written feedback report and personal action plan
Who is this course for?
- Learners who are nearly ready and want to be sure before test day
- Learners who recently failed with just one serious or dangerous fault
- Learners whose driving is otherwise at a good standard
- Anyone who would like a fresh, experienced view on their driving
If you've recently failed, this course works best if you had one serious or dangerous fault and no more than eight driving faults. If you picked up more than that, we'll recommend a tailored plan with extra lessons instead.
Please note
- Practical test fees are not included
- Car hire for test day is not included (it is included in Plus)
- This course does not guarantee a pass
- Extra lessons may be recommended if needed
- We may ask to see your previous test result before confirming your place
Our approach
We don't just look at what went wrong. We find out why.
Most learners don't fail because they can't drive. They fail because of one moment where observation, planning or judgement slipped. We find the cause of that mistake, fix it properly, and send you into your test as a safer and more confident driver.
If your mock test shows you're not quite ready yet, we'll give you a clear action plan explaining exactly what needs to happen before your next test.
Upgrade to Beyond the Test Skills Plus

- Car hire for your test day

Payment
- You pay your instructor directly, by cash or bank transfer. There's no card payment online.
- Payment for your first lesson must be made at least 24 hours before the lesson. We'll send you the bank details when we confirm your booking.
- If payment isn't received in time, the lesson may be cancelled and offered to another learner.
We look forward to helping you become a safe and confident driver.
