Hereford Theory Test Centre
Hereford’s DVSA theory test centre draws learners from across Herefordshire, a county with few large towns and a fair amount of ground for candidates to cover on test day. As with all DVSA sites, the exact address is not published through third parties; it appears on the booking confirmation once a slot is reserved through GOV.UK. Sessions at Hereford run frequently enough that most learners can find a date within a couple of weeks, though booking early is still sensible ahead of school holidays when demand rises. The test itself costs £23 and combines multiple-choice questions with a hazard perception clip section, both of which must be passed on the same sitting.
Structurally, the Hereford test is identical to every other DVSA centre: fifty multiple-choice questions requiring 43 correct, then fourteen hazard perception clips scored to a maximum of 75, needing 44 to pass. The pass or fail outcome for both sections is confirmed before you walk back out to the car park, removing any wait for a result letter. Failing either half on its own means failing the whole test, regardless of how well the other section went.

Directions To Centre
Drivers can follow the A49 into the city and continue toward the centre, where parking is often available in nearby lots rather than on the street itself. Hereford railway station sits centrally enough that the walk to the test centre is short and well signposted. Bus travellers arriving at or near the central bus station will also find the centre within easy walking distance.
The centre serves learners from Credenhill, Great Malvern, Kington, Leominster and Ross-on-Wye, most of whom drive some distance to reach Hereford rather than having a closer alternative. LPOD Academy’s Gold 35 intensive course is a popular choice for learners covering this kind of catchment, since it packs enough hours in to make the travel worthwhile. Whatever course length you choose, bring a provisional licence for ID on the day, and remember that since 12 May 2026 only the candidate themselves can book or manage their DVSA practical test. Full details on what the theory fee includes are in LPOD Academy’s theory test costs guide.
A practical note for the day: DVSA doesn’t permit phones or smart watches inside the test room, which is worth remembering if you’ve travelled in by train or bus without a car nearby to leave belongings in. If you usually wear glasses or contacts to read, bring them, since the whole test is delivered on screen.
Passing theory here opens the door to booking the practical test, which costs £62 for a weekday slot nationally. Learners finishing a Gold 35 course around Hereford tend to book that practical slot within days of a theory pass, since intensive courses are built around a tight run of lessons rather than a long gap between theory and the driving test itself.

Can LPOD book my theory test for me?
Yes. We can book your theory test for you as an optional add-on, £60 all in, which includes the £23 DVSA fee.
What does the LPOD theory course cover?
Our in-house online theory course covers all 14 topics, hazard perception and case studies, so you arrive at this centre fully prepared.
