Pass Plus Cymru Young Driver Improvement Scheme 

The Welsh Government funded project is aimed at young drivers aged 17 – 25 years old who have recently passed their test.

The course aims to help them improve their driving skills, gain additional experience, and maybe obtain a discount on their car insurance. 

The project requires young drivers to attend a three-hour theory session with a Blaenau Gwent Road Safety Officer at a local fire station, followed by an "on-the-road in-car" session with a Pass Plus-registered Approved Driving Instructor.  (The driving is split between two drivers over either a full day or two half days).

All drivers who take part will have the opportunity to improve their driving skills on this enhanced Pass Plus scheme.

• Driving around town
