Your Local DVSA HGV Test Centre

For those undertaking HGV training in Bisley, your practical driving test will typically be conducted at the DVSA test centre in Farnborough. Located at 35 Hercules Way, Aerospace Boulevard, Farnborough, Hampshire, GU14 6UU, this centre is a key facility for aspiring HGV drivers in the region.
