ABOUT US

PassFast was founded with one clear purpose: to help learner drivers navigate the licensing process more confidently, efficiently and cost-effectively.

Obtaining a driving licence in Singapore can often be confusing. Learners may face difficulty securing practical lessons, long waiting times, uncertainty over whether to choose the school or private route, inconsistent progress and unnecessary additional costs.

We believe every learner’s situation is different. Instead of promoting one fixed route, PassFast assesses each learner’s needs, availability, budget, experience and goals before recommending the most suitable way forward.

Whether you are a new learner, an existing school student struggling to secure lesson slots, someone considering switching routes, or a licence holder looking for a refresher or conversion course, our team can guide you through the available options.

We work with experienced instructors and support learners across CDC, BBDC and SSDC. Our aim is not to sell unnecessary lessons or push every learner into the same programme. We focus on helping you understand your options, avoid common mistakes and choose a practical route towards obtaining your licence.

At PassFast, we are more than an instructor-matching company. We are your driving licence consultancy, supporting you from your first enquiry to your practical test.

Speak to our team and let us help you identify the most suitable next step in your driving journey.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)

1. How do I apply for the Basic Theory Test (BTT) as a private candidate?

Due to COVID-19, the test centers (CDC, SSDC and BBDC) are no longer accepting walk-ins and visits are to be via appointment ONLY.

Please visit the website of the test center of your choosing and book an appointment date. Head down to the test center on the day of your appointment, open a private account and proceed to book the BTT as a private candidate.

2. The appointment date is too far away, can I apply for the BTT online?

Unfortunately, booking for the BTT on the test center’s website itself results in you opening a school account, which disqualifies you from taking private lessons. Kindly follow the instructions outlined above to open a private account.

3. Can Passfast Driving Instructors book the BTT or Final Theory Test (FTT) for me?

Strictly no. The theory tests are administered by the traffic police department and application will require your NRIC/FIN. Please keep the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) in mind and be wary of furnishing your personal details over the internet.

4. Can I start my lessons without my BTT?

No. Traffic police mandates that all learners must have a Provisional Driving License (PDL) before they are allowed on the road.

5. I have passed my BTT, do I need to get my FTT done before I can start with Passfast Driving Instructors?

Good news, you don’t! All we need is your PDL to start! In fact,  it is recommended to do your FTT concurrently with your lessons. Reach out to our team to arrange for lessons!

6. I passed my BTT many years ago, do I need to retake the BTT before starting my lessons with Passfast Driving Instructors?

Good news once again! The BTT is valid for life and you do not need to retake (unless your license was revoked). However, you do need a PDL. If you had a PDL previously, you can renew it online via Singpass. If not, you will have to book an appointment with the test center then head down to complete your eye test and apply for your PDL after.

7. Can I take the BTT or FTT under Passfast Driving Instructors?

No, this is beyond our scope. The BTT and FTT are administered by the traffic police via the three test centers (BBDC, CDC and SSDC). Passfast Driving Instructors is not a driving school but rather a matching service that pairs prospective students with private driving instructors for their first lesson. Please open a private account with the test center and book the theory tests as a private candidate.

8. Am I required to take the BTT at any particular test center in order to sign up with Passfast Driving Instructors?

We cover all three test centers in Singapore, so please feel free to take your BTT at any test center of your convenience.

9. How do I apply for simulator sessions?

The system only allows you to book for simulator sessions after completing at least five practical sessions. You are required to clear three simulator sessions before you are allowed to book for the practical test. Simulator sessions and TP test dates are governed by the test center.

10. How much do I need to pay for the circuit use and practical test?

Circuit sessions are charged by the school and costs ~$40 per use. As per the standard in 2024, including test fee, vehicle rental, warmup, circuit fees, expect to pay about $550-$750 all in for the TP test. 

11. My BTT is approaching and I need help preparing for it, can Passfast Driving Instructors offer any assistance?

Of course, this is our expertise. After all, we are only here to help you pass fast! Kindly reach out to any of our staff for information! 

12. The instructor you assigned me is sick/hospitalized and will be unable to provide me lessons for the time being, what can I do?

We are sorry to hear that! That is indeed unfortunate. As the last private driving instructor license was given out over 20 years ago, private driving instructors are usually in their golden years. Their wisdom and experience come with a trade-off of being susceptible to conditions that come with old age. That being said, please note that as private driving instructors are freelance, Passfast Driving Instructors will not be held responsible and no change of instructor will be offered in the unfortunate event your assigned instructor becomes unavailable to fulfil his obligations to you. Kindly refer to our terms and conditions for more details.

13. I am currently undergoing lessons with one of the three driving schools (BBDC, CDC or SSDC) but am unable to get slots while waiting for my practical test. Can I sign up with Passfast Driving Instructors for supplementary revision lessons?

I’m afraid we do not take engagements of such nature. However, do feel free to reach out if you need an instructor after your test!

14. I am currently undergoing lessons with other another instructor but I feel that progress is slow. Can I take lesson simultaneously with Passfast Driving Instructors to speed up the process?

Strictly no. Despite them not working with us, we respect your current private instructor’s time and will not take on such engagements. 

15. I have taken a few lessons with other instructors/agencies but I find the experience to be unsatisfactory. Can I switch over to Passfast Driving Instructors and do I need to start my lessons from scratch?

Of course, you can. Kindly note that we are *NOT* associated with agencies such as sgdrivinginstructors.com or other external private driving instructors so any lesson or registration fees paid to them cannot be transferred over to us. Once you sign up, our instructors will assess your current level of proficiency and pick up where you left off.
