Test centre address: 205 Birdbrook Road, Kingstanding, Birmingham, West Midlands B44 9UL
Kingstanding is one of the busiest driving test centres in the country. 16,133 car tests were taken there in a year, making it the 6th busiest of around 320 centres.
It's on Birdbrook Road in the north of Birmingham, so it's the local centre for learners in Kingstanding, Great Barr, Erdington and Sutton Coldfield.
With so many people booking there, the next few months fill up fast. Wednesbury is about 5 miles away and Garretts Green about 7, and you can see how they compare further down.
How long is the wait at Kingstanding driving test centre?
If you book at Kingstanding 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. 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.
