Norwich Theory Test Centre
Norwich Theory Test Centre is the main venue for learners across Norfolk, and as with all DVSA theory centres, the exact address is withheld until you book online through GOV.UK, after which the confirmation email supplies the full location. Candidates from Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Dereham and Aylsham travel into Norwich for the multiple-choice and hazard perception test, priced at £23 and valid for two years from the date of a pass.
Pupils training on an LPOD Academy intensive course usually sit this test early on, because DVSA requires a valid theory pass certificate before it will release a practical test booking. LPOD’s course deposits start from £180 and rise with course size, quoted always as a deposit rather than the full fee, with the balance settled once a course date is confirmed. Norfolk’s flat, open roads and Norwich’s roundabouts shape much of the practical driving that follows.
Two sections make up the theory test: 50 multiple-choice questions, needing 43 correct, and a hazard perception section built from video clips, marked out of 75 with 44 as the pass mark. Candidates typically finish within an hour and get their result immediately. LPOD’s intensive courses are structured so Norfolk learners can sit their theory test early, then move directly into a concentrated run of practical lessons without long gaps between sessions.

Directions To Centre
Driving to the centre is generally straightforward, though it’s worth checking for parking restrictions nearby before you set off. Rail travellers should get off at Norwich station, then take a short taxi or bus journey on to the test centre. Bus options run too, so it’s worth checking local routes for the stop nearest the centre ahead of your appointment.
Arrive with about 10 minutes in hand and bring your provisional licence, since DVSA will not let candidates in without one. From 12 May 2026, only the candidate themselves can book or manage their own DVSA practical test, a rule worth remembering once your theory pass comes through. Norwich’s practical routes take in the city’s roundabouts and dual-carriageway stretches leading out from the centre, ground that LPOD’s Platinum 50 intensive course and the wider course selection are designed to prepare learners for quickly. Pupils travel in from Cromer, Great Yarmouth, Dereham and Aylsham to train before testing at Norwich. See theory test costs and how to pay for the full breakdown.
Book through gov.uk directly rather than a third-party reseller adding a fee to the same slot. The practical test that follows runs around 40 minutes and covers an eyesight check, vehicle safety questions, general driving and roughly 20 minutes of independent driving, either following road signs or a sat-nav.
