At Latics Driver Training, we have always been proud of our high pass rates and we will be continuing the trend but at a much faster rate for some of our customers. Our intensive and semi-intensive courses have always proved popular and now we can offer our customers an even quicker way to get their licence.
Our new fast ‘pass in a week’ crash course means that customers can now start their lessons on a Monday and pass on the Friday!
Although these courses are referred to as ‘crash courses’, rest assured, we will not be teaching you to crash! Quite the opposite. Lessons taken intensively mean that with little time to forget in between lessons, learning is much quicker.
In fact, latest Government research found that of all successful test candidates, the average number of hours taken with an instructor was 47 and the average time taken to pass the test was 13 months! With our pass in a week crash course, the cost will be much lower than taking weekly lessons.
Our all-inclusive ‘pass in a week’ crash course is being offered at an introductory price of just £599, which means that compared to taking lessons weekly, you could save hundreds of pounds. Although the majority of our customers pass in less hours than the national average, based on the national average figures, you could save over £400 with our ‘pass in a week’ crash course!
We’re also so confident that the vast majority of our customers taking the ‘pass in a week’ crash course will achieve a pass at the end of the week that we guarantee to pay for your next test if you are unfortunate enough not to pass on the first attempt!
Places on the ‘pass in a week’ crash course are limited so to avoid disappointment, we recommend that you ring us on 0161 345 3452 or contact us through our website asking for an application form.

We are officially 8 years old today! Latics Driver Training was launched on 5th November 2001 by business partners Claire Wilmot and Glyn Crossley who have more than 25 years experience in driver training between them. The company has expanded steadily over the years to become Oldham’s biggest and best driving school and has helped thousands of happy customers pass their test. Our team of dedicated instructors and our happy customers have been paramount to the success of Latics Driver Training.
Over the last 12 months, we have been busy expanding and offering new products. Director Claire Wilmot has visited local schools to give presentations and deliver road safety messages, our new ‘Pass in a Week Crash Course’ has been launched, and all the vehicles have been signwritten with the fantastic new Latics Driver Training branding.
Over the next 12 months, we aim to deliver the same high standard of driving instruction and customer service. We will also be launching our new and improved pupil progress system and updating our instructors with some of the new breed of extremely successful coaching methods being introduced to the driver training industry.

It’s always great to get positive feedback from our customers. When Rachel Richardson passed her driving test at the first attempt yesterday, she was so pleased that she just felt compelled to send us an email.
“I felt the need to write after completing my training today with Keith in his Fiat Punto, I have passed first time at the Rochdale test centre today and feel I couldn’t have done this without his superb teaching skills. Keith is everything you would want in an instructor, I have found him to be very patient and teaches at a level that is easy to understand and follow. As a nervous driver on my first lesson with Keith, he easily calmed me down and gave me the confidence I was lacking. I am so happy I chose Latics and that you directed me to this instructor and will be recommending you to my friends. Please pass on my sincere thanks to Keith.”
Thanks for your email Rachel and congratulations! (And well done to you too, Keith!) 
Look out for updates to our website coming soon – our ‘Recent Passes’ page will be updated with photographs of all our students who’ve recently passed, and we’ll also be launching our ‘Pupil of the Month’ feature.

Thanks to all the staff and customers at Costco in Oldham for a great Trade Fair today!
Claire Wilmot & Sophie Holland
We were able to meet with many members of the public who were interested in learning to drive (or knew someone who wanted to learn). Sophie Holland (Office Manager), along with Frank Walsh ADI and Ric Hughes ADI were there for the full day to hand out leaflets, pens and road safety materials to passing customers, and some even got to try out the Theory and Hazard Perception test on site, too! Claire Wilmot (Managing Director) said, “today’s trade fair here at Costco has generated quite a lot of interest, and we hope to do more of the same in the future. Latics Driver Training prides itself on being the best driving school in the area, and it’s been great to have been able to meet and answer questions from the public about learning to drive”.
Special thanks to Sophie, Frank and Ric for all their hard work!
