Test centre address: Camden Road, Brecon, Powys LD3 7RT
Brecon's driving test centre (Aberhonddu in Welsh) is on Camden Road, near the fire station. It serves a wide stretch of mid Wales, and learners come from Brecon, Talgarth, Hay-on-Wye, Crickhowell, Sennybridge, Builth Wells, Llandovery and Ystradgynlais.
It's a small centre, with 1,490 car tests taken there in a year, and one of the better ones to pass at: 58.7%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
The wait is one of the shortest in the country, about 9 weeks booking on your own. Merthyr Tydfil is about 16 miles away and Abergavenny about 18.
How long is the wait at Brecon driving test centre?
If you book at Brecon on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 9 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.
