Be ready for narrow town centre lanes and on-street parking when approaching the high street.

Choosing an Instructor in Aberystwyth

Getting Started

Apply for your provisional licence online or by post before booking lessons. Study for and pass the theory test, including hazard perception, then build practical lesson time with your instructor. When your instructor thinks you are ready, book the practical test at the Aberystwyth centre or a nearby centre such as Newtown. Use local roads like the A487 and Penglais Road in practice to mirror likely test routes.
