1. By car

Join Aberystwyth via the A487, turn into Park Avenue opposite Tesco, then follow signs for the football stadium; the DVSA cabin is by the main stand. No on‑site parking—use the pay‑and‑display Retail Park bays and meet at the rear lobby.

2. By public transport

• Bus – TrawsCymru routes T1 (Carmarthen) and T2 (Bangor) call at Aberystwyth Bus Station, a three‑minute walk over the footbridge.
• Train – Aberystwyth station (terminus of the Cambrian Line) is a five‑minute walk; hourly TfW trains run to Shrewsbury and Birmingham.

3. Cycling / walking

NCN Route 81 (Lon Cambria) ends on Park Avenue—lockable stands are outside the main station entrance.

1. Llanbadarn twin mini‑roundabouts (A44/A487)

• Typical slip‑up – treating the pair as one and failing to give way twice.
• Quick fix – full stop between the circles, scan right again, then roll gently.

2. Penglais Hill 30 → 20 gradient

• Typical slip‑up – letting speed run away past the university campus.
• Quick fix – drop to 2nd at the summit and use engine‑braking to hold 18 mph.

3. Park Avenue retail‑park exit to 20 mph zone

• Typical slip‑up – forgetting pedestrians have priority on the raised table and stalling on re‑start.
• Quick fix – cover clutch at walking pace, yield, then set bite before rolling off the ramp.

1. About Aberystwyth (Park Avenue) Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Inside the football club on Park Avenue, the centre has no on‑site car park; starts are from the kerb, often with match‑day traffic. Straight away you negotiate the level‑crossing by the station then join the A487—great observation practice. Most learners warm up with a loop round Parc y Llyn retail park.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive early with your licence. After the eyesight test and a “show me, tell me” question, expect a reversing manoeuvre (often parallel parking near the seafront), maybe an emergency stop, and 20 minutes of independent driving. The sat‑nav section frequently climbs Penglais Hill on the A44, so practise hill‑starts.

3. After You Pass

The examiner can file your pass online; the licence appears within two weeks. Consider Pass Plus for night‑time A487 runs and look into telematics policies to cut costs.
