Test centre address: 11 Cross Street West, Pellon, Halifax, West Yorkshire HX2 0HA
Halifax's driving test centre is on Cross Street West in Pellon, about a mile north west of the town centre. It's the only centre in Calderdale, so learners come from Halifax, Sowerby Bridge, Brighouse, Elland, Hebden Bridge and Todmorden.
5,845 car tests were taken there in a year, and the pass rate is 45%, below the 50% across Great Britain.
Huddersfield and Bradford's Heaton centre are each about 7 miles away, with Heckmondwike about 9. All three are further down the page.
How long is the wait at Halifax driving test centre?
If you book at Halifax on your own, the first week with a good choice of free dates is 20 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. Earlier dates come free as driving test cancellations, when other learners move or cancel theirs, and we watch for them on your behalf. 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.
See how that compares with the wait at every test centre in the country.
