You can
take Pass Plus at any time within the first 12 month of passing
your test.
There is no test at the end of it – your driving will be continually
assessed and you must successfully complete all the modules in the
course to an achieved or exceeded standard:
There are
two standards achievable in the course
Achieved– successfully reached the standard required for each
of the competencies
Exceeded– exceeded the required standard for each of the competencies
In exceptional circumstances, if a module can't be done on the road
it will be covered in a theory session and in such cases the highest
level you can reach is 'achieved' as you've not been able to demonstrate
the relevant practical skills.
