Nottingham Theory Test Centre
Nottingham Theory Test Centre sits close to Maid Marian Way and serves learners from right across the city and county, though like every DVSA venue, the exact address only shows up in your confirmation once a slot is booked through GOV.UK. Candidates from Mansfield, Hucknall, West Bridgford and Beeston travel into Nottingham for the multiple-choice and hazard perception test, which costs £23 and stays valid for two years once passed.
LPOD Academy pupils on an intensive course typically get this test done early, since DVSA requires a current theory pass certificate before a practical test can be booked at all. Deposits on LPOD’s intensive packages start from £180 and increase with course size, always quoted as a deposit rather than the total price, with the balance arranged once a course date is set. Nottingham’s central roads and the Maid Marian Way area give learners a strong grounding in city-centre roundabouts.
The appointment runs in two stages: 50 multiple-choice questions, where 43 correct answers is a pass, and a hazard perception section of video clips, scored out of 75 with 44 needed to pass. Most candidates are finished inside an hour and get their result on the spot. LPOD’s intensive courses build theory preparation into the earliest days of a course, so Nottingham learners can move on to practical lessons without a long wait.

Directions To Centre
By car, head towards the city centre and look for parking near Maid Marian Way, where the test centre is based. Rail travellers arriving at Nottingham Station should expect around a 15-minute walk north along Carrington Street and then Maid Marian Way. Alternatively, a bus from the station towards the Victoria Centre will get you close, with a stop near Maid Marian Way leaving only a short walk.
Arrive around 10 minutes before your slot and bring your provisional licence, since DVSA will not admit candidates without one. Since 12 May 2026, only the candidate can book or manage their own DVSA practical test appointment, so keep your licence and pass certificate to hand for that step. Nottingham’s practical test routes make heavy use of Maid Marian Way and its surrounding roundabouts, along with dual-carriageway stretches out towards the suburbs, all areas LPOD’s Gold 40 intensive course and the full range of courses are built to cover. Learners join from Mansfield, Hucknall, West Bridgford and Beeston to train locally before testing in Nottingham. Full fee details are in theory test costs and how to pay.
Always use the official gov.uk booking service instead of a third-party site, which typically charges extra for the same appointment. The practical test itself takes around 40 minutes and includes an eyesight check, vehicle safety questions, general driving and roughly 20 minutes of independent driving, guided by road signs or a sat-nav.
