Tests in Shrewsbury - Telford - Stone

Prepare and take your driving test at our private Shrewsbury or Telford sites. 

We have worked extremely;y hard over the last few years to strengthen our relationship with the DVSA. We opened a DVSA customer test site in Shrewsbury in 2017 and now our latest addition another customer test site in Telford. We where also one of the first providers in the UK to have our own in-house M4 assessor. 

We opened the site in Shrewsbury in 2017 to offer a more professional training environment for our customers and guarantee more stable test availability. We can pre-book hundreds of test slots allowing us to plan training courses with more accuracy and commitment. We deliver the courses in and around Shrewsbury test routes and all practice maneuvers are completed at the test site. When a customer is about to take their test they are on familiar territory and the exact same piece of tarmac that they have been practicing on. This inspires confidence and improves the chances of passing. Many training companies use public car parks are unmarked farm yards etc. 

The examiner uses our site to conduct the tests and we use it in between for training purposes. It proved such a huge benefit that we decided to open a second site in Telford. Our new site will deliver even more tests with the same advantages as our Shrewsbury site. The added bonus for our Telford site is that is the only one of its kind in the area. If you want to training and test in Telford this is the only site that delivers public training course options in Telford. We also deliver Driver CPC periodic training, 5 x 7 hour modules = 35 hours. Make sure your ready for the next deadline: September 2019.

We also qualified our own in-house DVSA M4 assessor, we deliver dozens of courses per month and it allows us to schedule courses with more flexibility for our customers. We can arrange this type of training and tests weekdays, weekends and evenings. This has also proven a huge success, we are constantly evolving and looking for the best way to deliver the best possible customer service. 

With the addition of our second DVSA driving test site and our in-house assessor we continue to lead the way in customer service and continue to establish ourselves as one of the UK's leading driver training providers.
