Morpeth Theory Test Centre
Morpeth Theory Test Centre serves learners across rural Northumberland, and like every DVSA theory venue, its exact address only appears once you’ve booked; GOV.UK deliberately keeps precise locations off general listings, sending full details in your confirmation email instead. Candidates from Rothbury, Widdrington Station and the surrounding market towns travel into Morpeth for the multiple-choice and hazard perception test, which currently costs £23 and stays valid for two years.
LPOD Academy pupils sitting an intensive course usually book their theory test within the first few days, since DVSA requires a valid pass certificate before a practical test can be booked at all. Deposits on LPOD’s intensive packages start from £180, rising with course length, and are always quoted as a deposit rather than the total price, with the balance arranged separately. Northumberland’s rural A-roads and market-town layouts feature heavily in the practical test that follows.
Expect two distinct sections on the day: 50 multiple-choice questions, where 43 correct answers is a pass, and a hazard-perception round using video clips, marked out of 75 with 44 needed to pass. The full test is over within about an hour, and you’ll know your result immediately. LPOD’s intensive courses are built to run theory revision alongside early driving lessons, which suits Morpeth’s rural learners who often have a longer round trip to make for each session.

Directions To Centre
Drivers heading for the Morpeth theory test centre should take the A1 and come off at the Morpeth exit, then follow signs into the town centre, where parking is available close by. Train travellers get off at Morpeth station, roughly a 10 to 15-minute walk from the centre, while bus passengers have frequent services running into Morpeth, with several stopping at the bus station a short walk from the venue.
Plan to arrive around 10 minutes early and bring your provisional licence with you, since candidates without one will not be admitted. Once through the theory test, remember that from 12 May 2026 DVSA rules mean only you can book or manage your own practical test appointment, not a driving instructor or third party on your behalf. Morpeth’s practical routes take in the A1 corridor along with roundabouts and rural stretches around the town, which is exactly the mix LPOD’s Bronze 15 intensive course and the full range of courses are structured to cover in a short space of time. Pupils from Rothbury and Widdrington Station commonly train locally before testing at Morpeth. Full fee details sit in LPOD’s guide to theory test costs and how to pay.
Stick to the official gov.uk booking service, since third-party sites often charge extra for the same appointment slot. The practical test itself takes roughly 40 minutes and includes an eyesight check, a couple of vehicle safety questions, general driving and around 20 minutes of independent driving, either by road signs or sat-nav.
