Getting to Our Training Centre from Fulham

A typical route involves heading south from Fulham, joining the A3 via Kingston Road (A219). You will then continue on the A3 before taking the exit towards Guildford/A322/Horsham/A281. Follow the A281 and Perimeter Road to reach Dunsfold Aerodrome. This journey typically takes around 60-75 minutes, depending on traffic conditions.

The Guildford DVSA Test Centre

Your DVSA practical test will be conducted at the Guildford test centre at Slyfield Industrial Estate, Moorfield Road, Guildford GU1 1SA. This centre is a familiar location for our instructors, and our training routes are designed to prepare you thoroughly for its specific challenges. You will gain experience with key elements such as the uphill start on Wych Hill Lane, where a stop sign at the top requires a precise hill start at the second telegraph post on the way down. Additionally, you will become proficient in navigating the A3 dual carriageway section, a crucial part of the practical test.

HGV Job Market in Fulham

Fulham and the wider West London area offer a robust and growing job market for qualified HGV drivers. The demand for skilled logistics professionals remains consistently high, with numerous opportunities in local distribution, retail supply chains, and specialized transport.
