Practical Driving Test Centres in Wigan

There is a test centre in the Wigan area—but it might not necessarily be in the area you’d expect. In fact, the closest test centre to Wigan is actually the Atherton practical test centre. Aside from Atherton, some in the Wigan area may choose to cross the border into Merseyside to take their test at the St Helens test centre.

Theory Test Centres in Wigan

While you’ll have to venture outside of the town of Wigan to take your practical test, Wigan theory test centre is very conveniently located on Market Street within the town centre. Again, the next-closest option for learners here can be found in St Helens.

Haven't taken your theory test yet?

Don’t be daunted by the theory test—simply revise your hazard perception and multiple choice questions to get prepared! Make sure to add a theory test to your course when booking if you haven’t passed.

Driving Around Wigan

Your lessons will also involve you practising and perfecting the manoeuvres you may be asked to demonstrate on your test, including pulling up on the right. You’ll learn a lot—but, by the end of it, your hard work will be rewarded with a brand new full UK driving licence. To learn more, check out the history of the UK driving licence.
