Nearby Theory Test Centres

As we’ve explained, the Isle of Wight theory test centre is the only place you can sit the theory test on the island. If you are willing to travel to the mainland, however, a whole new world of choices opens up for you. So, if this particular test centre isn’t to your liking, you can try nearby(ish) options like Fareham and Portsmouth.

What Happens Next?

There are two tests involved in earning a driving licence, so when you pass the theory you could say you’re halfway there! That being said, getting prepared for the practical test takes a lot more time and energy. 

Get things off the ground by using the number on your theory test pass certificate to book a practical test. You should do this before you are test-ready, as available dates tend to be weeks or even months into the future. Residents of the Isle of Wight will be thrilled to learn that there is a practical test centre right in Newport!
