Practical test centre in Aberfeldy
Aberfeldy’s test centre sits in a small Perthshire town on the banks of the River Tay, a good distance from the nearest large city, so most candidates are already local or have travelled up from Perth for their course. The town’s own back roads are narrow and often shared with tractors and tourist traffic in summer, which gives the Aberfeldy test route a rural character that differs sharply from a city centre like Perth’s. Learners occasionally travel here from Kinross or Pitlochry when slots are tight closer to home, and the drive itself, along the A9 and A827, is worth treating as part of the preparation rather than just the commute. An LPOD Academy intensive course based around Aberfeldy spends real time on single-track sections and blind bends rather than roundabout drills, because that is what the local test routes actually demand. Booking is now done directly by the candidate: from 12 May 2026, DVSA no longer allows anyone else to book or manage your practical test slot.

Practical Test Centre Address
Aberfeldy Test Centre is at 1 Kenmore Street, Aberfeldy, PH15 2BL. The building has toilets, on-site parking, and step-free disabled access, and both car and motorcycle tests are conducted here. Because it is a small rural centre, waiting room space is limited, so arrive close to your appointment time rather than much earlier. Instructors running an LPOD Academy course in Aberfeldy typically use the last lesson before test day to drive Kenmore Street itself and the immediate turning into the centre, since a calm final approach matters more here than in a busier city site. Bring your provisional licence and any glasses or lenses you normally drive in, as staff cannot start the appointment without them.
Directions to Aberfeldy Test Centre Test Centre
Coming from the south, join the A9 past Stirling and Perth, then take the A827 turn-off that leads directly into Aberfeldy; the road narrows as you approach the town, so slow down earlier than you might expect. Stagecoach buses run a regular service between Perth and Aberfeldy for anyone without a car, which is a reasonable option if your course instructor is meeting you locally rather than driving you in from further away. The A827 itself is one of the more scenic approaches to any DVSA centre in Scotland, tracking the River Tay for much of the way, but that scenery comes with a caution: the road can ice over quickly in winter, so check conditions before setting off between November and March. Once in town, Wade’s Bridge and the Birks of Aberfeldy woodland walk are useful orientation points, and cyclists can reach the centre via routes through the surrounding countryside if cycle hire is available locally.
Test routes from Aberfeldy lean heavily on single-track roads, sharp bends and the kind of slow-moving agricultural or tourist traffic you will not encounter on a typical urban route, so an intensive course here is structured differently to one in a city centre. LPOD Academy’s shorter Bronze 10 packages suit learners who already drive confidently and mainly need route-specific practice, while the longer Gold 40 options give more time to build basic control skills before tackling the bends. Every course is secured with a deposit, and full details of how instructor-led intensive training works are in our guide to how intensive courses work if you are deciding between options.
On the day, arrive at Kenmore Street with your provisional licence, and allow extra travel time if you are driving up from Kinross or Pitlochry, since single-carriageway roads through Perthshire can be slower than the mileage suggests. Since 12 May 2026, only you as the candidate can book or amend your DVSA practical test, so once your course dates are set, get the test booked yourself as early as slots allow.

Why Book With LPOD Academy?
Can LPOD book my practical test at this centre for me?
No. Since 12 May 2026, only you can book, change or manage your DVSA practical test. LPOD provides test date support instead: centre and timing guidance as standard, plus an optional Test Alerts + Booking Strategy add-on (£50) if you’d like us actively watching for earlier dates and helping you plan around them.
Which course should I choose before my test?
It depends on your experience. Complete beginners usually start with a Gold or Platinum course, while learners who have already had lessons or sat a test before often suit a Silver or Bronze course. Try our course recommendation tool for a personal suggestion.
Are LPOD instructors qualified?
Yes. Every LPOD instructor is a DVSA-approved ADI, paid full market rates, so you get a properly qualified instructor rather than the cheapest bidder.
