Worthing Theory Test Centre

Passing the theory test at Worthing comes first for most learners in this part of West Sussex, whether they’re based along the coast or further inland toward the Downs. As with every DVSA theory venue, no shopfront address is published here; DVSA confirms the exact site once your booking is made, so what you need on the day is your provisional licence, valid ID, and enough time to settle in before your appointment. The test format stays the same wherever you sit it: 50 multiple-choice questions to answer, with 43 correct needed to pass, plus 14 hazard perception clips worth up to 75 points, where 44 clears the bar. Many candidates booked onto an LPOD intensive course choose to sit their Worthing theory first, keeping the hazard perception and highway code content fresh right up until the practical dates start days or weeks later. LPOD runs everything from a short Bronze 15 to the more comprehensive Gold and Platinum packages, so learners can match the course length to how much practice they actually need before their practical. It’s also worth remembering that since 12 May 2026, only the candidate themselves can book or manage their DVSA practical test slot, a change that catches out learners used to a parent or school handling it, so keep your theory pass certificate number safe once you’ve passed. That certificate stays valid for two years, which is normally plenty of time to fit an LPOD course and a practical test around work, college, or exams.

Directions To Centre

Drivers should take the A259 and turn onto Lyndhurst Road, where parking is available within easy reach of the centre, though spaces can fill up around peak commuter times so leaving a few extra minutes is sensible. East Worthing Station is the nearest stop for anyone arriving by rail, and the walk from the platform takes only a few minutes rather than needing a taxi. Local bus routes also pass close by, giving learners from further along the coast a direct option into town without needing to drive at all. Build in extra time before your appointment regardless of how you travel, since DVSA turns away latecomers and the £23 fee isn’t returned if you miss your slot, and a missed test still counts against your booking history. See our guide to theory test costs and payment for the full breakdown of what a theory and practical test will cost together, and learners pairing their theory with a course often pick the Gold 35 package to fit both around a single intensive week rather than spreading lessons out over months. If you’re travelling in from Littlehampton, Rustington, Shoreham-by-Sea, Steyning, or Storrington, allow extra time for the drive into town, particularly if you’re coming via the A27 during the morning rush.
