If you live in Gillingham or anywhere in Medway, you are close to one of the most useful combinations in Kent: a DVSA test centre on your doorstep and a training base a short drive along the A2 corridor.
Training runs from our centre at Sittingbourne Logistics Park on Swale Way, Sittingbourne ME10 2FF. That is where you meet your instructor and where the vehicles are based. Your practical test is taken at the Gillingham DVSA test centre, so the roads you are assessed on are the ones you will have been driving during training.
It is worth being precise about this, because a lot of training websites imply they have premises wherever their learners happen to live. We do not. One training centre, in Sittingbourne, and testing at Gillingham.
The Gillingham test area covers a genuinely useful mix: dual carriageway work on the A2 and M2, tighter residential and industrial roads around Gillingham and Rainham, roundabouts of varying size, and the kind of gradient and junction work that examiners look for. Learners who train on these roads are not seeing them for the first time on test day.
Your D4 medical is booked for you, we guide you through the D2 provisional application, your theory and CPC test fees are covered, and we book and manage your practical test. The DVSA practical test fee is charged separately at £115 on a weekday and £141 at a weekend.
Sittingbourne is roughly twenty minutes from Gillingham along the A2, or a direct train on the Chatham main line. Most learners drive; there is parking on site.
No. Gillingham is the DVSA test centre where you take your practical. Our training centre is in Sittingbourne, about twenty minutes away.
Yes. Training covers the Gillingham test routes, so the assessment roads are familiar by test day.
Class 2 is the usual first step and gives faster access to local and regional work. If your goal is articulated work and you hold a car licence, the car-to-Class-1 fast track goes there directly.
Yes, through Snap Finance, subject to status and credit checks.
