1. By car

From the A2042 ring road turn onto Tannery Lane (opposite County Square); the DVSA office is on the ground floor of the Civic Centre. On‑site spaces are limited—arrange drop‑off on Godinton Road and arrive ten minutes early.

2. By public transport

• Bus – Stagecoach routes 10 and 10X link Ashford International with Folkestone and stop on Station Road, a five‑minute walk.
• Train – Ashford International is five minutes on foot via Station Road.

3. Cycling / walking

NCN Route 18 passes through the Stour Valley Park; secure stands sit outside the station.

1. A292 ring‑road spiral lanes

1. About Ashford (Kent) Test Centre from a Learner’s View

Ashford’s test rooms occupy the ground floor of the Civic Centre on Tannery Lane; several marked bays line the frontage, allowing a final bay‑parking rehearsal before you’re called inside.

2. What to Expect on the Day

Arrive ten minutes early with your provisional. After the number‑plate check and a “show me, tell me” question, you’ll attempt one reversing manoeuvre (bay parking is common because of the on‑site spaces) and around twenty minutes of independent driving—often following the A28 ring road and the M20 junction.

3. After You Pass

The examiner uploads your pass online; the photocard licence usually reaches you within two weeks. Book motorway coaching on the M20 towards Maidstone and compare black‑box policies to trim premiums.
