Practical Test Centres Near Ventnor

Ventnor learners face a slightly unusual booking situation: the three nearest practical centres all sit on the mainland, which means crossing the Solent by ferry and building a wider margin into test-day timing. Lee On The Solent is the closest option at around fifteen miles north, posting a pass rate comfortably above the national average, so most Island learners aim for a slot there when ferry schedules line up neatly with test times.

Portsmouth sits roughly nineteen miles north and runs at the national average, making it a solid backup when Lee slots are tight. Southampton (Forest Hills) is the third option at around twenty-five miles north, also running near the national average, though the longer crossing and mainland drive mean most learners only book it when the nearer centres have no availability for weeks.
