Chichester Theory Test Centre

Down on the South Coast, Chichester Theory Test Centre covers West Sussex learners from the city itself out to the coastal towns and villages nearby. GOV.UK withholds the precise address until you’ve booked a slot, a rule that applies to every DVSA theory centre rather than being specific to Chichester, so don’t expect to find it listed anywhere else online. Summer weekends can bring extra visitor traffic through the city, so building a little buffer into your journey time is worth doing if your appointment falls on a busy date.

The theory test costs £23 to book, the same whatever day or time you choose, and a valid provisional driving licence photocard is essential; forget it and the test won’t go ahead. LPOD Academy offers both the Silver 25 course and the wider All courses range for learners across this part of Sussex who want their lessons condensed into a short, intensive block. Once theory is behind you, from 12 May 2026 only the candidate themselves can book and manage their DVSA practical test appointment going forward.

The format doesn’t vary by location: fifty multiple-choice questions requiring forty-three correct answers, then a hazard perception section of fourteen clips marked out of seventy-five, with forty-four as the pass mark. You’re given your result immediately, and the certificate that follows is valid for two years, setting the window in which your practical test must be booked and taken. For learners scattered across West Sussex’s coastal towns, an intensive course that groups lessons into consecutive days rather than one lesson a week can be a considerably more efficient way to reach test day ready.
