Second Attempt Support Programme

Specialist Coaching for Learners Who Are Close to Passing

Failing a driving test is frustrating — especially when it comes down to a single serious or dangerous fault. Our Second Attempt Support Programme is built for learners who are already close to test standard but need focused, expert help identifying and correcting exactly what went wrong last time. Our DVSA-approved instructors work with you to build the skills, confidence, and awareness needed to pass and become a genuinely safe driver for life.

Programme Investment: £495

What's Included

  • 9 hours of focused one-to-one tuition with a senior instructor
  • A 1-hour independent mock driving test
  • A full review of your DVSA test report
  • A diagnostic assessment drive
  • Root-cause analysis of the serious or dangerous fault
  • A coaching plan built specifically around your needs
  • Training on your test route and known high-risk areas
  • Coaching on observation, planning, positioning, judgement, and decision-making
  • Support building confidence and managing test-day nerves
  • A written feedback report with a personalised action plan

Who Is This Programme For?

  • You recently failed a practical driving test
  • You received only one serious or dangerous fault
  • Your overall standard of driving was otherwise good
  • You want specialist coaching before your next attempt
  • You'd value a second opinion from an experienced instructor

Eligibility Criteria

This programme is generally suitable for learners who failed with one serious or dangerous fault and no more than eight driving faults. If you had multiple serious faults or a higher number of driving faults, you may need a more tailored training plan with additional tuition first.

Important Information

  • Practical test fees are not included
  • Test-day car hire or test cover is not included
  • This programme does not guarantee a pass
  • Additional lessons may be recommended where needed
  • Acceptance onto the programme may depend on a review of your previous test results

Our Promise

We don't just look at what happened. We work out why it happened.

Most learners who fail aren't struggling to drive — they've had a single lapse in observation, planning, judgement, or decision-making. Our job is to find that root cause, rebuild your confidence, and get you back to test standard with driving that's safer and more reliable than before.

If your independent mock test shows you're not quite test-ready yet, we'll give you a clear action plan setting out exactly what's needed before your next attempt.

Optional Upgrade — Second Attempt Support Plus (£645)

  • Everything included in the standard programme
  • Test-day car hire
  • A one-hour warm-up lesson before your test
  • Your instructor attending the test centre with you
  • A post-test debrief

Failed by One Fault?

Don't start from scratch. Fix the fault, rebuild your confidence, and get test-ready with our Second Attempt Support Programme.
