Chatham Theory Test Centre

Chatham’s theory test centre sits at the heart of the Medway towns, making it the regular booking choice for learners from Chatham itself and the villages around it. No address appears on this page because DVSA doesn’t publish exact locations before booking at any of its theory centres; the details land in your confirmation once GOV.UK has processed your slot. Medway’s roads can get busy at peak times, so leaving earlier than you think you need to is rarely wasted effort before an appointment like this.

Booking costs £23 for the theory test no matter what slot you pick, and a valid provisional driving licence photocard has to come with you or the appointment won’t go ahead. LPOD Academy’s Silver 30 course is a solid fit for learners in Medway wanting a fast, structured route from first lesson to test pass. Once you’ve cleared theory, keep in mind that from 12 May 2026 the DVSA practical test must be booked and managed by the candidate alone, not by an instructor acting for them.

The theory test always runs to the same format: fifty multiple-choice questions with a forty-three pass mark, then fourteen hazard perception clips out of a possible seventy-five, where forty-four gets you through. You’ll know your result before you leave, and the certificate you receive stays valid for two years, the period you then have to book and sit your practical test in. For learners across the Medway towns, an intensive course that condenses lessons into consecutive days rather than stretching them over a school term often fits around exam schedules and shift patterns more comfortably than weekly lessons would.
