Practical Test Centres Near Northfield

The closest practical centre to Northfield is Birmingham (Kings Heath), around three and a half miles east, though its pass rate sits well below the national average so many learners opt to book further out. Birmingham (Shirley) runs at roughly 49% six miles east, making it a more popular choice for local instructors who want a better success rate for their pupils.

Redditch is the third option at around seven miles south, posting a pass rate in the low forties. Routes there tend to work the residential roads around south Birmingham and the edges of Worcestershire, so the feel can differ slightly from the more urban circuits at Kings Heath and Shirley.
