Our customers attend the course each day Monday to Friday 10.00am – 2.30pm
Online theory training 4:30pm – 6:30pm
Lessons start at Abergavenny railway station, and the town’s practical test centre is a short distance away on Station Road.
On day one, your instructor will take you to a quiet residential area to start with the basics such as getting into gear, pulling off, braking and turning.
.As the week goes on, you’ll drive the roads examiners start from, including the climb up Monmouth Road (A40) and the roundabouts where it meets the A465. This will allow you to drive in higher gears, picking up as speed as you go, and to practice signalling and overtaking.
The A465 Heads of the Valleys road heads west as a dual carriageway, with roundabouts such as Hardwick and Glanbaiden that call for early lane choice.
The A40 continues towards Monmouth and Brecon, and the A4042 heads south towards Pontypool and Newport. Rural lanes outside town bring steep gradients, narrow sections and farm traffic – perfect local conditions you’ll need to master as you learn to drive.
If Abergavenny test centre dates are full, the nearest alternative test centres are Monmouth, Merthyr Tydfil and Newport.
