Test centre address: Suite One, 2nd Floor, International House, Dover Place, Ashford, Kent TN23 1HU
Ashford's driving test centre is on the second floor of International House on Dover Place, the tall council building opposite Ashford International station. Learners come from Ashford, Kingsnorth, Willesborough, Tenterden, Charing, Wye, Hamstreet, Headcorn and Romney Marsh.
5,475 car tests were taken there in a year, and it's one of the harder centres to pass at: 46.2%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is shorter than at most centres, about 18.4 weeks booking on your own. Canterbury and Folkestone are each about 13 miles away.
How long is the wait at Ashford driving test centre?
If you book at Ashford on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 18.4 weeks away. That's shorter than at most test centres, where it's around 23.4 weeks.
You don't have to wait that out or keep checking yourself. We usually find learners an earlier test date within 1 to 2 weeks of signing up, and often within a few days. The test itself may still be a few weeks away, but it's earlier than the date you'd get booking on your own.
