New Romney Theory Test Centre
New Romney Theory Test Centre covers learners across Romney Marsh, and as with every DVSA venue, the exact building address is withheld from public pages until you’ve booked online through GOV.UK, at which point your confirmation email carries the full details. Candidates from Lydd and the New Romney area itself sit the multiple-choice and hazard perception test here, currently priced at £23 and valid for two years after a pass.
LPOD Academy pupils training on an intensive course generally book this test in the first few days, since DVSA insists on a valid pass certificate before a practical test can be arranged. Deposits on LPOD’s intensive packages start from £180 and increase with course size, always quoted as the deposit rather than the full amount, with the remainder arranged separately once a course date is set. The Marsh’s flat, open roads and coastal approaches shape much of the practical test that follows here.
On the day, candidates face 50 multiple-choice questions, needing 43 correct to pass, followed by a hazard perception section of video clips scored out of 75, where 44 is the pass mark. Most people are finished inside an hour, with the result given immediately. LPOD’s intensive courses are set up so Romney Marsh learners can get their theory test out of the way early, then move into a tightly packed run of practical lessons.

Directions To Centre
Drivers should set a GPS destination for New Romney and follow the signs into town from there, which leads directly to the centre. Train travellers should aim for Ashford International Station first, then catch a connecting bus on to New Romney. If a direct bus suits your journey better, routes often run in from surrounding towns, so it’s worth checking timetables ahead of your appointment to leave enough time.
Arrive at least 10 minutes before your slot and bring your provisional licence, since DVSA will not let candidates sit the test without it. From 12 May 2026 onwards, only the candidate themselves can book or manage their own practical test with DVSA, a rule worth remembering once your theory pass comes through. Romney Marsh’s practical test routes lean on long straight roads, coastal bends and village roundabouts, ground that LPOD’s Bronze 10 course and the wider course selection are built to cover efficiently. Learners from Lydd and New Romney train locally before testing here. Full pricing sits in the theory test costs and how to pay guide.
Booking should always go through gov.uk directly, since third-party sites tend to add a fee on top of the standard DVSA price. The practical test afterwards runs about 40 minutes and includes an eyesight check, vehicle safety questions, general driving and around 20 minutes of independent driving, either following road signs or a sat-nav.
