1. By car

Cameron House, Albany Street PA34 4AE. From the A85 follow George Street then Albany Street—no on‑site parking, so use the shorefront bays on Corran Esplanade.

2. By public transport

• Rail – Oban station is a 5‑minute walk via Station Square.
• Bus – Citylink 918 / 976 coaches stop at Station Road every hour.

3. Cycling / walking

Join NCN 78 (Caledonia Way) on the seafront—bike hoops outside the ferry terminal.

1. A167 Brompton roundabout

• Typical slip‑up – choosing the inside lane for A684 then cutting across traffic.
• Quick fix – pick lane 2 at the countdown sign, hold 25 mph and exit in‑lane.

2. High St permanent 20 mph

• Typical slip‑up – creeping to 24 mph past the market cross.
• Quick fix – stay in 2nd, maintain 18 mph and cover the brake.

3. Friarage St railway bridge lights

• Typical slip‑up – stopping on amber and blocking the single‑lane arch.
• Quick fix – decide early: go if green, else stop behind the line and wait for green.

1. About Oban Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Argyll’s centre operates from Lochavullin Road, PA34 4PL beside the CalMac depot. Marked bays sit opposite seafood trucks, so clutch‑bite finesse is tested straight away. Local ADIs suggest a calming lap around the Ferry Terminal loop before signing in.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Bay parking almost always comes first. Independent driving usually heads south on the A816 to Loch Feochan then loops the A85 Connel Bridge—prepare for 30‑to‑60 changes and tourist coaches. Emergency stops occur on the long Soroba Road straight; examiners watch mirrors on the uphill George Street mini‑roundabouts.

3. After You Pass
