Dunoon's driving test centre is at Unit 20 on Highland Avenue at Sandbank Business Park, on the A815 about 3 miles north of the pier. It's a small centre, and learners come from Dunoon, Kirn, Hunter's Quay, Sandbank, Innellan, Kilmun, Strachur, Tighnabruaich and Colintraive.

How long is the wait at Dunoon driving test centre?
If you book at Dunoon on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 24+ weeks away. That's about the same as most test centres.
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.
