Practical test centre in Crieff
Crieff’s test centre serves a small but geographically spread catchment in Perth and Kinross, which means candidates often travel a fair distance across genuinely rural roads just to reach it. That matters for the test itself, since routes here are more likely to include open country stretches, single-carriageway bends, and the kind of variable road surfaces you do not encounter in a city centre. Learners used to town driving sometimes underestimate how different a Crieff test can feel, with longer sightlines but also less forgiving margins if a hazard appears suddenly on a country road. A short, focused block of lessons around this specific route type tends to pay off more than general practice elsewhere.

Practical Test Centre Address
Crieff Test Centre is located at Broich Road, Crieff, PH7 3SG. Parking is available on-site, and there are toilet facilities. The centre is accessible for disabled individuals. Driving tests are conducted here.
On-site parking makes arrival straightforward, but candidates travelling from outlying villages should still allow extra time in case of slower-moving farm traffic on the approach roads. Bring your provisional licence with you on the day. It is also worth knowing that from 12 May 2026, DVSA practical test bookings can only be made, moved, or cancelled by the candidate themselves rather than by an instructor, so confirm your Crieff appointment details are correct under your own account before travelling.
After the driving finishes, the examiner parks and delivers the result in person, explaining any faults noted across the general driving, manoeuvre, and independent driving sections before confirming pass or fail. A pass means no serious or dangerous faults and no more than fifteen minor faults combined. Nothing is issued on paper; the outcome is logged electronically with DVSA that same day. Instructors who travelled along are typically asked to sit in on this debrief, which at a rural centre like Crieff often focuses on specific stretches of the A85 or country bends where minor faults tend to be picked up.
How To Get To Crieff Test Centre
Driving from Perth, take the A9 for around 16 miles before switching onto the A85, which leads directly into Crieff, with plenty of open Scottish countryside along the way. Public transport takes a little more planning: catch a train to Perth station, then a Stagecoach 15 bus service completes the journey into town. Flying into Edinburgh Airport is another option, followed by hiring a car or taking a bus with a change at Perth. As you approach Crieff, Drummond Castle Gardens, just south of the town, is a helpful landmark. Parking within Crieff itself is generally easy to find across several car parks. Weather can change quickly in this part of Scotland, so it is worth checking conditions before setting out, particularly if you plan to explore nearby spots like Glenturret Distillery or the Crieff Hydro estate either side of your test.
Given how much of Crieff’s test route runs along open country roads, learners benefit from concentrated practice on exactly that kind of driving rather than relying on town-based lessons alone. The Bronze 10 course suits candidates who already have a reasonable base of experience and want a short, focused top-up before test day. If you are still working towards your provisional licence, our guide on applying for a provisional licence covers what is needed. This centre primarily serves candidates from Crieff itself and the nearby village of Scone.
The DVSA test format is consistent everywhere: an eyesight check, two vehicle safety questions, around twenty minutes of general driving, one reversing exercise, then a final twenty-minute block of independent driving following a sat nav or road signs. At Crieff, that closing stretch is more likely than most to run along the open A85, so rehearsing sat nav routes on genuinely rural, single-carriageway roads before your test matters more here than it would at a city centre. Arrive at Broich Road around fifteen minutes early to allow for country-road travel times, bring your provisional licence, and confirm the car you are using for the test is taxed, insured, and correctly displaying L plates.

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.
