Bromley’s first practical driving test centre, certified by the DVSA, opened on 30th January 2017.

The centre is currently open on a temporary basis however has been opened to provide more driving tests in areas where there is high demand for giving practical tests and to reduce waiting times, as well as put less pressure on the surrounding areas.

The centre is located in Bromley Court Hotel on Bromley Hill, close to the main town centre. ‘Park Only’ bays have been specifically allocated for learner drivers waiting to take their tests by the DVSA and a waiting room has also been dedicated.

Tests for this location became available on January 16th 2017.

DVSA hosted a drop-in event on Tuesday 24 January at Bromley Court Hotel between 9am and 2pm to allow local driving instructors and students to view the facilities and meet with examiners.

In order to reduce the waiting times for customers significantly, the Driving and Vehicle Standards Agency continue to monitor and review the success of offering additional sites in areas where demand is high.
