Lots of websites seem to advertise “guaranteed pass” courses of some description, but the simple fact is – there is no guarantee that you’ll pass!

When you look into what you get, you’ll find that if you don’t pass after the course, they may pay for any future tests you take with them.

Unfortunately, without taking a little extra training this is pretty much useless – especially considering that many of these courses are residential and so are a long way to travel to. The cost of travelling back for the test would be outweighed by extra training, accommodation and rail or bus fares.

Other “guarantees” involve a refund of your test fee, or some other similar token gesture – not a guarantee at all, just a bit of change back.

Our pass promise is really simple – you get £300 back if you don’t pass your test at the end of the course.

Whether you take it and don’t pass, or if you decide you don’t feel ready for the test, or if we feel that by the time of the test it would risk your safety and that of the examiner – you get your £300 back.

This means that if you want to visit us for another day of training before another test, stay in a hotel overnight, and pay for your test, you can. This should give you a very good chance of passing the test in the area you had your training, all within budget.

On the other hand, you could find a good auto instructor in your area – something we will help with if we can – and you can get some weekly lessons and take a test in your home area.

Either of these two options should come in well under the £300 cashback.

As far as guarantees go, we reckon this one will at least guarantee peace of mind.

However, be very careful, because like any guarantee – you have to be aware of what you get under the guarantee. Most guaranteed pass courses simply offer you your next test free – a grand total of £50ish back. No extra training, no train fare or hotel fees, often not even the hire of the car and a lesson beforehand.
