DVSA Test Centre

Hi folks,My experience with this centre was a good one. I drove all the way from London and went in 5 minutes before my scheduled time. The tester came out on time, and we started straight away after paperwork and visual acuity test. It's an easy and relaxing place in regards to atmosphere and parking etc. so you won't feel nervous.I passed my test at first go.Overall i am satisfied with the centre atmosphere.Good luck, everyone..!!

I’ve had the pleasure of having Michael as my examiner today. He’s extremely professional and behaves in a way that keep the learner’s calm throughout the test. Thanks much!

Mel, my driving examiner at the Colchester DVSA, deserves high praise for her professionalism and supportive approach. I want to express my deep gratitude for the comfortable and calming atmosphere she created, which eased my nerves significantly.Her clear instructions and constructive feedback not only helped me perform better but also improved my driving skills. Mel's patient, understanding, and encouraging attitude stood out, showcasing her genuine interest in providing a fair and comprehensive assessment.Thank you, Mel, for your exemplary service and dedication. Your positive impact on candidates like myself is truly commendable, making us feel confident and prepared for the responsibilities of the road.

Mel, my examiner was wonderful and very professional.I was very nervous ,but she kept me calm thorughout the test.The driving test centre is very nice and have ample parking space.I would recommend everyone this test centre .

Colchester is home to one of the infamous magic roundabouts. Look it up before you book your test here! The examiners are pretty strict, but professional. I was disappointed that they didn’t go through the faults at the end, just said to read the report via email. It would have been helpful to know where mistakes were made and what to focus on and improve!

As Test Centres go, the Colchester one is pretty nice, it also has toilet facilities. And there is a cafe opposite , you cross the road and tea and coffee awaits along with anything you want to eat . It has plenty of space and has adequate bays for parking and one way in and one way out , brilliant ! Instructors are allowed to come into the centre to practice, there where a few practicing whilst we where waiting to go out on a Test , very chilled. The examiner we had was very pleasant.

Had the pleasure of martin for both my tests, 1st one i failed but martin explained to me exactly where i went wrong in order for me to learn from this, (my grandad also passed away the same morning so my head wasnt really in it tbh) but martin was very kind and fair.2nd attempt i had martin again, really is a lovely man , passed me with 2minors.

I drove from London for a test and I passed. It was a great experience, the examiner was politely distant ( I suppose it is out of their job nature ) yet a very kind gentleman. The Test Centre is peaceful and has a relaxing cafe right next to it. The road of Colchester is a challenging one with so many roundabouts. I suggest some study on google map or arrive a little early to get yourself familiar with the environment if you are not local.
