Test centre address: Glamis Hall, Goldsmith Road, Wellingborough, Northamptonshire NN8 3RU
Wellingborough's driving test centre is at Glamis Hall on Goldsmith Road, a community centre on the Queensway estate. It's a car only centre, and learners come from Wellingborough, Rushden, Irthlingborough and Earls Barton.
It's one of the smaller centres, with 1,450 car tests taken there in a year, and one of the better ones to pass at: 60%, above the 50% across Great Britain.
Kettering is only about 5 miles away and Northampton about 9. You can see how they compare further down.
How long is the wait at Wellingborough driving test centre?
If you book at Wellingborough 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.
