Practical driving test centres in Sheffield
It’s always better take your driving lessons close to home, as you’ll gain a good understanding of how the roads work in your local area. This means you’ll be aware of what to look out for when driving day-to-day after you’ve passed. Luckily for learner drivers in Sheffield, there are two test centres to choose from in the city: Middlewood Road test centre, to the north of Sheffield, and Handsworth test centre, to the east. Take a look at our ultimate guide to the South Yorkshire driving test centres for more information.
Theory test centres in Sheffield
Passing your theory test is a necessary step to getting your full UK driving licence; in fact, you must get your theory test pass certificate before being allowed to take your practical. If you haven’t passed yet, however, don’t worry—you can simply add a theory test onto your course. For most learners in Sheffield, the best option is likely to be the Sheffield theory test centre, which is located in the city centre. Alternative nearby options are available in Chesterfield and Mansfield. Visit our resources page for theory test guides and tips.

Driving around Sheffield
Sheffield is a city of contrasts: busy urban areas in the city centre, quieter, rural roads on the outskirts of the city. As such, perhaps more than any other major city, Sheffield can be a complex place to learn to drive, with a wide range of potential road types to deal with.
Typically, most students will spend the majority of their course hours learning close to their practical test centre; in Sheffield, this is likely to be either the Middlewood Road centre or Handsworth centre. As both of these test centres are on the outskirts of Sheffield, learners will need to be equipped to deal with residential and rural roads. However, Sheffield is, after all, a city, and you’ll need to deal with busy A roads too: in Handsworth, the A57 (Mosborough Parkway) may feature on your test, whilst in Middlewood Road, you may end up driving along the A61 (Penistone Road) near to Hillsborough stadium.
Whichever test centre you’re learning at, your PassMeFast instructor will ensure you’re up to test standard ready for you to ace your practical. All of our instructors have years of experience, are approved by the DVSA, and have received A or B grades in their standards check, ensuring that you’re in safe hands when learning with PassMeFast.

How long does it usually take someone to learn how to drive?
Learning to drive isn't a race, so it's important not to rush towards the end in an attempt to pass your driving test. Take it at your own pace and let your ability tell you when you're ready for a test. The length of time it takes someone to learn to drive varies a lot, due to things like availability, price, and learning methods.
It's easier to measure how long it takes by the amount of driving lessons you take. The DVSA recommends 45 hours of driving lessons and 22 hours of private practice before someone is fully ready for their driving test.
Which areas does PassMeFast cover?
As well as the city of Sheffield, PassMeFast’s coverage area extends to the rest of South Yorkshire, including Rotherham, Doncaster and Barnsley. Our fleet of dedicated instructors also cover counties across the UK, and we’ve already helped thousands of people to get their licence.
The road to driving doesn’t have to be long. Call us today on 0333 123 4949 to speak to the team, or book in via our website.
