Bromley Driving Test Centre: Reviews
Negative experience: I would give 0 if possible. At first I thought this woman was a bit rude to me I kept looking at my wife who was my driving instructor. After the test my wife told me she kept looking at me and giving me a dirty stare and screw face. At first I thought this was normal for a driving examiner but after coming to read the review I saw, not one or two but, 6 - 1 star reviews naming Ava/Eva. I don’t know who has hired her but she is so standoffish and rude and has a general bad vibe to her. From when I first saw her I felt that she was a bit annoyed or in a bad mood and then after driving with her I’m more convinced she examined me on her bad day and definitely allowed it to affect her judgement. She really just came up with excuses to fail me and I 100% advise no one to book there. Or if you do just pray you don’t get her. I had my test on a Saturday so she 100% was moody coming in on a weekend and then was telling me they were doing overtime…
Fantastic experience: Passed first time with Tony - amazing test instructor. Makes you feel at ease and will give constructive criticism.
Negative experience: I failed my test today but that is not why I’m writing this review. I had Ava as my examiner today and she was very standoffish and made me extremely uncomfortable and unless your drive dead perfect you won’t pass with her. So don’t know if I caught her on a bad day but it was an awful experience and would not recommend going Bromley test center unless you don’t get her. I really disagreed with how she did her job and when the test was over she was speaking very aggressively towards me about my mistakes. I do not wish to take my test there again! Avoid at all cost!
Positive experience: Mostly lovely examiners , nice waiting room.
Fantastic experience: Big thanks to my examiner Chris! He was patient, friendly, and professional, he explained all the processes super clearly and helped me feel at ease throughout the test.
Fantastic experience: I had my test yesterday with Chris. He was very professional, patient and clear with instructions. He was such a kind man, he could see i was nervous, and did everything to put me at ease, talked through everything. Can't recommend this centre enough!
Negative experience: Never answers the phone
Negative experience: Kindly remove my number from your website
Negative experience: The woman instructor was very rude and made me feel uncomfortable throughout the test yesterday morning. Tip for other drivers: If you are coming to this centre and aren’t familiar with the area, the test routes mostly are 30 so don’t go 20. And maybe ask for an instructor that puts you at ease while driving, as the lady I had was very standoffish.
Fantastic experience: I had a wonderful experience with examiner tony,down to earth guy, he makes you feel so comfortable I passed frist time with zero minors THANK YOU TONY AND BROMLEY TEST CENTER
Fantastic experience: Dear Neil Judge, I wanted to extend my gratitude for your exceptional assistance during my recent driving test at the Bromley driving test Centre. Your helpfulness and guidance throughout the examination were truly commendable. Your professionalism and positive demeanor created a comfortable and supportive environment, which greatly contributed to my confidence behind the wheel. Thank you for your dedication to your role as a driving examiner and for making the experience a positive one. Kind regards, Nargiza Farmanova
Fantastic experience: Passed my test first time round yesterday at Bromley test centre. Ian was my examiner and he was very kind, calm and positive. Even when I had tricky moments he was so patient and that allowed me to rectify them in a safe way, I remained calm the whole way through. If you are local to Bromley and Lewisham I would highly recommend using this test centre. So thankful to Ian and my instructor for all her support and encouragement she has given me.
Fantastic experience: Passed test this morning with only 2 minors with Ian, my examiner. Can't thank him enough for breaking the ice and engaging in a conversation that helped me calm my nerves. Amazing experience and fantastic examiner.
Fantastic experience: Great test centre..toilets are super clean and staff is friendly..I had my test with Eva and she was super nice.
Negative experience: The examiner was quite aggressive, almost shouting for a small mistake at the beginning of the test and scoulding which led to stress and bigger mistake. Albeit he was more of a human being when providing feedback after the test is over
Fantastic experience: Very friendly and professional
Fantastic experience: Had my driving test at 9.07 this morning and passed with zero faults the test instructor was brilliant very calming, friendly put me at ease as had nerves cannot recommend this test centre enough and the area to drive is nice aswel Iv failed in previous centres belverdere and Sidcup and I would say Bromley is so much better. Overall experience was great!
Negative experience: Examiner Ava needs to be taken in hand up by the test centre manager and DVSA. She is very racist, rude and unprofessional. Her face, body language and tone does not fit the job she is doing. She needs to understand the DVSA test and marking standards. She is not in her living room relaxing. She sits in the car as thought she is upset and don't want to be there. She create a tense and unhuman environment for pupil taking test. Alot of time and monet goes into preparing for a test only to be torn apart by a person that dosent enjoy her job.
Fantastic experience: Passed my test today. My examiner Chris was amazingly professional, and helped me immensely to do my best despite being quite nervous at times. I can't compliment him enough, a great example of how to do your job fairly, respectfully and politely. If you see a test slot at Bromley - grab it!
Fantastic experience: Had Tony as my examiner. I must say he is the nicest examiner I have ever met, not only with helpful instructions, he is also very reassuring and helped massively with my nerves. Thanks Tony
Fantastic experience: Just passed my driving test today, my examiner is Ian (if I am not mistaken). He is calm and has positive vibes. He makes me feel comfortable and ease on the actual test. Thank you so much!!!
Fantastic experience: Eva is a very friendly examiner.
Fantastic experience: 01/12/23 Passed first time had Eva lovely lady thankyou so much
Positive experience: Just passed my driving test here today! Examiner was a lady called Jenny - she wasn't overly chatty but really lovely nonetheless and made me feel quite at ease! Be careful when arriving for your test / pulling out on your test - the bay parking area is very tight and usually has cars parked right in fron of the bays which doesn't help in a stressful environment!
Fantastic experience: I had a test in Oct and the examiner was polite and helpful. I forgot his but can say it was the best and passed my test in my first attempt.
Fantastic experience: I passed first time on Monday with Shane. He was extremely friendly, made me feel at ease and helped calm me down drastically. He made me feel ad if we were friends, no stress at all.
Positive experience: I just passed my driving test in this test centre. I had Tony the first time and after that I had Lisa. Lisa was a very nice lady, she noticed I felt really nervous and she helped calmed my nerves down, Tony was a nice guy too. I just want to thank both of them for helping me pass my driving test and now I’m a qualified driver!
Fantastic experience: The best driving center in Bromley! Passed my test today and Lisa has helped me to calm down and very patient with me! My instructor Matt Shurmer Automatic Driving School has given me immense supports and I cannot thank Matt enough for helping me to pass the test! If you need an automatic driving instructor you need Matt Shurmer 100%! He is the best in the areas! Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: I passed my driving Test today on my first attempt . My Driving Examiner was Shane and he is such a nice man. I felt really comfortable having him as my examiner. Upon approach he has a calm aura and is quite patient and polite. I would recommend Shane anyday. THANK YOU SO MUCH SHANE!!!! This exam was soo calm and I am very happy that I passed. My instructor was also a wonder to work with. STEVE'S DRIVING SCHOOL in Foresthill was a blessing and is a GREAT instructor.
Negative experience: My examiner was literally huffing and puffing throughout my whole test and literally gave me attitude. Wouldn’t even allow me to park the car properly at the end of my test and was rude. Unacceptable for someone who is supposed to be an examiner ???
Fantastic experience: I took 2 tests at this test centre. First time was a fail in January and the second one was a pass yesterday. Both of my examiners were great. I am not the type of person who can keep calm during tests, especially in a test knowing that if I failed, I would have to wait for another 5-6 months to take the next one (thanks to covid backlog). Both examiners were very kind, giving clear directions, and most importantly they helped me to keep calm. I wish I was good with names but unfortunately I don't remember their name. I can't thank them enough.
Fantastic experience: I passed in my first attempt. Examiner was Chris and he made my nerves calm. He does a wonderful job.
Fantastic experience: I told the examiner that I was nervous and he done breathing exercises with me, which really helped. He was friendly and patient. Thank you Shane
Fantastic experience: What an amazing examiner I had. If any1 has the fortune to have Lisa then I can guarantee she'll make all your nerves go away. Amazing conversations whilst doing my test that made me feel I was beside family. I can't thank her & Bromley test centre enough. I'll never forget you Lisa & thank you for engaging & making my test a pleasure. ❤️
Fantastic experience: I personally find Bromley testing area very good to take the driving test, thanks to my driver instructor Arnet @knightsdrivingschool who is very knowledgeable in all their routes. Also I was so lucky to have Tony as my examiner. Tony was very patient, fair and helping the candidate to stay calm, certainly it’s a plus under the circumstances. Thank you so much Arnet and Tony for being amazing.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience with my examiner, I think that it was lady named Jenny. She was patient and put away stress off my shoulders. She got good, positive enegry that makes you feel like you're driving with your friend. Thank you for doing your job on another level Jenny, I will recommend Bromley test centre to everyone.
Fantastic experience: Jenny was awesome and about the best examiner i ve come across throughout my long licensing journey till I passed today. Her positive demeanour right from the start of the test took away all my nerves and anxieties. She explained everything clearly and made sure that I understood them and answered all follow up questions politely. She doesn't make you feel like you're being observed and tested, but rather, she makes a person feel like how one should be when doing normal driving. She is a professional to the core, very friendly and fair. Thank you Jenny, Bromely center is lucky to have a legend like you. For those still out there, please don’t give up, keep training, keep getting better, i know it cost money & time but it is worth it, one day your time ll come and you ll be successful.
Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience at Bromley test centre where I passed my test ! My examiner was Steve, very kind and polite and made me feel comfortable throughout my test !
Fantastic experience: I WANNA TAKE THIS OPPORTUNITY TO THANK SHANE FOR KEEPING ME CALM THROUGHOUT MY WHOLE TEST. HIS AN AMAZING PERSON I HOPE EVERYONE WOULD GET THE CHANCE TO HAVE HIM ON THEIR TEST DATE. I WOULD RECOMMEND TO STAY CALM IGNORE ANY BAD REVIEWS AS THIS IS WHAT GOT ME NERVOUS IN THE BEGIN, AND PROBABLY IS PEOPLE THAT NEED MORE EXPERIENCE OR HAVING A BAD DAY. BUT I PASSED MY TEST WITH NO FAULTS (18/05/2023) ONCE AGAIN THANK YOU
Fantastic experience: Passed Back in March First Time , The Test was with Lisa honestly an Angel in disguise, was nervous at first but she made me feel so calm and chill that the test went so quick that I thought at first I failed till I was told I passed and was in complete shock how easy and quick it bloody went. Anyway to Lisa you’re the best out of them all. Thank You.
Positive experience: After failing in bromley three times, I passed at another driving test centre!!!! Don’t give up!!!! Your time will come, even if you have to try another test centre, do that. P.S: I saw a comment where someone had posted about ignoring bad reviews because the person “probably needs more experience or having a bad day”. I just want to say, that is not always the case and people should not be afraid to share their experience whether it’s good or bad. People have the right to feel how they feel. It’s not easy finding another test date after failing a test. Next test date might be another 4-6 months away and that in itself is already frustrating. Some may not be lucky to pass at the first attempt. When I last did my test in Bromley, I was told by the examiner that I was a competent driver but they still failed me. I believed in myself and knew that I could drive and took the decision to try another test centre after I was not getting anywhere in the last 3 attempts in Bromley. I had to learn a new driving route within two weeks and passed at another test centre on the fourth attempt. Moral of the story, no one should ever disregard anyone’s experiences whether good or bad. It’s YOUR personal experience.
Fantastic experience: Lisa was amazing! She made me feel comfortable throughout the whole drive and she was so comforting. God Bless you Lisa!
Fantastic experience: I passed the test. When I faced with examiner I got the confidence of passing. My examiner Chris, was very kind and generous. Besides with this most important to chose a good instructor for passing a test, my instructor Devon was very kind and helpful.
Fantastic experience: I had my driving test earlier this week at Bromley and it was a very pleasant and enriching experience throughout the test. Chris was my examiner and he is a true legend. He is kind, precise and explains everything in detail to ensure you understand the process and well equipped for the test. My nerves were settled from his welcoming attitude right from the start and his calmness has created a positive energy for me. I must mention the general misconception around the rigidness of driving examiners is fallacious, they are caring people who understand the nerves and do everything in their remit to make you feel comfortable and poised. Kudo to Chris, his colleagues and management team in Bromley for being so humble, professional and respectful. Thank you for your generosity and feedback to become a safe driver for life.
Fantastic experience: Had my test yesterday with Shane he was so calming and made me feel at ease even had me doing breathing exercises and I passed! Thank u Shane
Fantastic experience: I had my driving test at Bromley Center yesterday at 08:10 and I was lucky to have had Shane as my examiner. I was very nervous and he calmed me down and he was giving clear instructions. Thank you Shane for helping me pass my test stress free.
Fantastic experience: I had two driving tests here with Chris. Both times he was so lovely, and helped to relieve my anxiety so that I could do my best. Really happy with my experience.
Fantastic experience: I’ve previously had test in Sidcup and Hither Green, Sidcup being the worst, I thought hither Green was the best but bromley by far is the best. My examiner Shane was a wonderful human being and was an absolute pleasure. He’s a very smart individual and very caring as he calmed down my nerves and anxiety in a huge way. Even though it was a test, I learnt valuable life lessons from Shane in terms of dealing with anxiety. Thank you.
Fantastic experience: I have had such a nice experience with my examiner today. She was very professional and calm during the test. She gave me clear instructions and made me feel comfortable and relaxed doing the test. Eva is star I could not thank her enough. Thank you, Eva. I wish you the best!
Fantastic experience: I passed today with jenny as my examiner. I was nervous about having my test early in the morning (7 50) but jenny made me feel very comfortable and at ease. This really took the pressure off and i was able to go ahead and concentrate on driving. Thanks jenny!
Fantastic experience: I was ridiculously nervous before my test as I was an older driver - but Chris the examiner was so nice and calming it instantly made me feel so relaxed and I managed to pass first time - that guy is really good at his job!
Fantastic experience: Passed today with Shane, Shane is an amazing examiner. Right from the beginning of my test. He had me breathing to help calm my nerves. And really helped me feel relaxed for the test thank you
Fantastic experience: 5* for Tony, amazing Examiner!
Fantastic experience: just passed my driving test. Jenny, who was my examiner, was a very calm presence and made the whole driving test very smooth. very clear with her instructions and directions. If you have a test coming up, cross your fingers and hope it is with Jenny!
Fantastic experience: i went for my test on the 28th March and had Tony as my examiner - straight after introducing ourselves he asked how I was feeling, assured me that i would be absolutely fine and generally had a very calming and positive tone (my instructor even told me as he called my name that he was lovely, and as per usual, she was right!) throughout the duration of my test he was quiet, but not in a scary judgemental way like i had thought an examiner may be - he entertained my constant nattering to myself with polite laughter or a comment every now and then (even though i was just waffling for 95% of the time and definitely wasn’t making much sense), and maintained an air of professionalism without fault the entire journey. so many people told me in the lead up to my test that it was scary and that they were glad they never had to do it again, but even if i hadn’t passed on Tuesday afternoon, i can assure you that my nerves would be stilled and my confidence would be peaked regardless. it takes a well-rounded individual to be professional in a high stress environment (for both the learner and the examiner - i know i’d be nervous if i was getting into someone’s car without knowing how well they could control it!); and it takes a great person to put another’s feelings and nerves above their own. Tony did both perfectly, and he really is a fantastic reflection of a great body of staff at the test centre - thank you so so much!
Negative experience: Met a racist examiner today. So rude and incompetent. Have filed a formal complaint against her to DVLA. For your knowledge, appealing can take a month, and will not change anything. Complain the examiner directly to DVLA and they will respond within 10 days. We will see how they respond. Escalations will be followed if the results are not satisfiable.
Fantastic experience: Pass my test a couple of days ago,at Bromley test centre. Before my test I was very anxious, but within five minutes with Lisa my examiner I was very calm, reassured and it didn’t feel as if I’m taking a test. Lisa was calm, friendly manner, and very professional. I do hope all examiner at this centre have this approach. Lisa you’re the best!!!
Fantastic experience: I have an amazing experience with a very lovely kind, Drivinng examiner Shane I was nervous first, but he made me feel at ease which also help me to pass my driving so thank you Shane
Fantastic experience: Had a very good experience at the Bromley test Center. Examiner named Chris was very professional and gave very clear instructions throughout the exam. He was very helpful on asserting the route when in confusion and was very fair in assessing.
Fantastic experience: Passed my driving test few days ago. During the driving test the examiner Lisa at Bromley was really good. She helped to calm my nerves during the test. Thank you Lisa.
Fantastic experience: I had a very good experience at Bromley test centre today, where I have passed my test. My examiner, a gentleman named Chris was very polite and calm, that made me feel comfortable during my whole test! The examiner, Chris, is very professional and the test route was great. He explained everything clearly and made sure that I understand everything and answered all follow up questions. Thank you so much, Chris!
Fantastic experience: Shane at the Bromley test centre is probably the best I've ever encountered. He validated my feelings of anxiety and gave me some breathing and relaxation tips before we even began the testing. He is so relatable and nonjudgemental that he actually restored my faith in humanity. He doesn't make you feel like you're being observed and tested, and rather, makes a person feel like how one should feel when they're driving under daily circumstances. I really appreciated him. Shane, if you're reading things, thank you for being you. For anyone having a test in Bromley, fingers crossed that you get Shane as your examiner. And good luck with your driving tests.
Fantastic experience: Shane and Tony were great guys calm and collective
Fantastic experience: I’ve done two tests here at Bromley and even though I didn’t pass the first time it was entirely my own fault, Eva was very fair and gave helpful feedback. After trying a different test centre due to cancellations, I came back to Bromley and finally passed today with Tony and couldn’t have had a better experience. He really helped put me at ease and was professional but friendly, which allowed me to focus on my driving and pass with only two minor faults! Having been to another test centre in SE London, I could see the difference and would always recommend Bromley now! Thank you Tony :)
Fantastic experience: Had my driving test this morning... and passed yaay! The Bromley Test routes are brilliant and the parking for the test centre is really good. I want to say a huge thank you to my examiner, Lisa, whose pleasant and friendly manner really helped calm me down and enjoy the test. Thank you Lisa, I hope that everyone doing their test gets someone as great as you!
Fantastic experience: Very kind and patient instructor!
Fantastic experience: Taking my driving test at Bromley test centre was a great experience. My examiner was friendly and professional, and made me feel at ease throughout the whole process.
Negative experience: Lisa failed my partner for the most pety fault. She failed him on observation of a cyclist approaching on his left where he was turning right into Burnt Ash Lane. The cyclist was least more than 100 metres away from his car. This was considered a major fault (5 minutes into the exam). So you'd think Lisa would stop the driving test then & there, but NO she let the test continue where my partner drove the whole test route. Doesn't make sense carrying on with the test if you failed 5 minutes in surely. Now he is having to scramble to book a new test and finding new dates is a nightmare with DVSA.
Fantastic experience: My first understanding of the test center were it would be a challenge to get pass as a learner. I found roads around Bromley test centre were quite challenging compared to other nearby test centres like Hither green. However, as I started practicing I found its all about learning, still I was quite terrified by the name of "TEST". The experience of my practical driving test were millions times more than I expected. All because of Shane, whose I am a fan now. He helped me to calm down as we set off. He gave me the assurance that of understanding that it can be a nerve taking experience, which helped me not being nervous and just focus on my driving. Apart form the test itself, I have learnt new perspectives of life and a quick crush course of managing life. He gave me such an excellent opportunity to feel better that would stay with me forever beyond just the driving test. I am a complete fan of him as a human being. I believe Bromley test centre is lucky to have such an interesting person. I hope all future learners get to enjoy impactful conversation with the examinars like Shane. All the best for Shane
Fantastic experience: My nervousness and anxiety is always at its peak with test and I can say that I was completely at ease! Shane who was my examiner did an amazing job in calming me down, helping me with my anxiety, speaking positively and most importantly breathing exercises! He is a lovely gentleman and I honestly wish him the best! My experience with him was 10/10, very professional as well.
Fantastic experience: Examiners are easygoing. Its not too busy. Probably my favourite test centre near South London.
Fantastic experience: I had my test 2 weeks ago. Lisa is an amazing person & examiner she's there to fairly judge she really helped with my anxiety.
Fantastic experience: Shane was the most lovely, calm and encouraging driving test examiner. He cultivates a relaxing atmosphere in the test which allows you to show what you can do without nerves taking over.
Negative experience: The contact number is incorrect, I woke up a random guy. That's not good, poor guy :'(
Fantastic experience: Just want to thank Shane for being so nice and help settle my nerves while I was driving thank you!!!
Fantastic experience: My examiner was really nice. He made me feel relaxed and reassured me that I would be fine and to take my time!
Negative experience: You can pretend it's for the safety of the drivers but in fact you do your business here. We will appeal your decision for failing our daughter test for 1 mistake. You stated that she didn't check on the left while turning right. Really? How is it fisically possible at all?? Shame on you.
Fantastic experience: I was extremely nervous when starting my test. My examiner Shane made the test experience such a positive and made me very much at ease when driving allowing me to drive smoothly and efficiently I really appreciate his conduct.
Negative experience: Bad examiners looking for tiny fault to fail pupil. Avoid
Fantastic experience: Tony was my examiner, he was very professional and very calming! He gave me 3 minors! And was so professional and explained to me my minors. I passed and I didn’t even do mock tests in Bromley :)
Fantastic experience: I failed first time with Eva , my fault , however She made me feel confident and eased my stress., 2nd time I had Lisa a very cool examiner and passed the same feeling, both exellent in in way of easing the stress and making you feel comfortable.
Positive experience: The examiners are amazing!! Very polite and helpful wonderfully people and professional…
Fantastic experience: Just passed my test at this centre with the help of two great instructors in Will Arnet Knight and Cindy Connolly. They were very helpful, supportive and direct with their teaching style and helped me achieve a first time pass
Positive experience: Absolutely spot-on well done Maya
Fantastic experience: Just today passed with Shane, can’t explain the overwhelming joy, Shane was such a great examiner couldn’t ask for anyone better, made me feel so calm and was very supportive. If you have a test coming up and by luck get Shane consider yourself lucky because he is a real professional
Negative experience: Bad experience. Eva was very aggressive from the beginning and behaved in a manner that suggested she was out to fail me no matter how good i drove. DVSA should allow supervisors or an independent person to accompany these examiners since they are not happy to see our instructors in the car to ensure that decisions are fair and balanced. We dont mind if given the option to pay for a supervisor. Leaving this important decision to one person who may abuse this privilege for selfish reason is not fair on students. AVOID THIS PLACE FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!
Fantastic experience: Had my driving test today, lovely examiner (Shane) really comforting whilst I was on my drive.
Positive experience: This test centre has a decent waiting room with toilets. The car park to start your test from is around the back of the centre and shops. The examiners usually meet you by your car at the booked test time. Try not to arrive more than 5mins before that. All the examiners I've met here are professional and fair in their assessments
Fantastic experience: I had my driving test today. My examiner was Lisa. She was so good, calm person. She talked with me nicely & gave clear instructions. I was so scared but i passed in first time. I should thank her for being lovely
Negative experience: Failed in my first attempt for one very small driving mistake for awareness planning. Awareness fault for not being in correct lane for turn well before..not sure what is expectations for passing..they need perfect drive from beginners? There should be some tolerance for small errors which are not dangerous or unsafe driving .Not sure if the test centre has quota to fail some percentage.
Fantastic experience: Although the test center is located in Burnt Ash lane, candidates need to wait at the DVSA parking lot behind the building (after Lidl parking lot), where the examiners expect to meet you dot in time. Now the rating would vary on personal experience and test outcome, so your milage may vary. I was fortunate to have Eva as examiner, and contrary to other reviews she turned out to be polite, calm and professional. Her instructions were clear, and the minor faults she noted were all fair calls. The route we took were a good mix of main and residential roads, and we've been traffucked a few times due to morning peak hours. Still then road hazards were fewer, but remember to watch out for careless pedestrians in quiet streets.
Fantastic experience: My first experience at this centre was COMPLETELY different from my second. I had my test today with Tony, and hes was just outstanding. He was kind, calm, and professional. I cannot thank him enough for making what is a nerve-wracking experience so much more pleasant.
Negative experience: Make sure you bring a compass, a map and an ouija board to be ready to start the quest of finding the test centre, they barely have any signs to tell you where it actually is,and if you call the centre to get some directions no one will answer. But that's not even the worst part once you finally get there they will cancel your test because you were 10 minutes late, offering no return options, wasting your time and money. If you wanna waste your money this is the best centre that you could pick if you actually wanna accomplish something go and get your business done somewhere else.
Fantastic experience: I had my test on Saturday and had a great experience with Eva . She helped me to ease my nerves as she noticed that i was very nervous.
Negative experience: My daughter and also her friend had tests this week. The center itself is great. Most of the test teachers and great and also very fair. Unfortunately I witnessed my daughters friend have the most unpleasant experience, which was extremely unfair and very unprofessional. The woman's name was Eva that took the test . Before they even got into the car what I witnessed was extremely cruel. The woman Eva was very rude, aggressive and nasty. Her communication was so unprofessional and ever so unkind. She seemed so angry immediately. This was very unsettling for everyone, especially for the person that is about to take the test. I do not believe this woman should even be allowed to work with young people if she is going to be so vile.
Fantastic experience: Had my test done today 11/02/2022. I had Tony he is very gentle and patient. He made me feel comfortable with my test.
Fantastic experience: As an instructor this test centre is very professional the examiners are amazing they make my students feel at ease. And excellent feedback from the examiners. Well done to everybody at Bromley test centre keep up the good work
Negative experience: I'm absolutely gutted. The address in the booking confirmation is not the address of the test itself. The office address is located in a busy High Street with limited parking lots available, I had to stop far away from the location. I got at the centre earlier, filled out this form with my info, and kept waiting in the waiting room until a man showed up and told me that the test would happen in the car park bay, which is not mentioned in the confirmation, and that someone would find me at the car. I followed the instructions and ended up at this Lidl Car Park, and kept waiting for someone to show up for more than 10 minutes. After 10 minutes I decided to go back to the office just to be informed that they waited for me and I did not show up, so I could not have the test at that point anymore. It seems I was waiting in the wrong car park. The area itself is a mess, there is a construction site, and no signs or instructions that clearly inform the DVSA car parking. They had my phone number, they could have called me, I would not simply disappear. I still have no idea where the parking is, and I'm feeling stupid for such a poor service.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience and passed with Eva! She was very fair and patient helping to ease my nerves. Thank you so much Eva!
Positive experience: My first experience at this centre was not good. The examiner’s attitude made me feel very anxious during my test. I was planning to change the centre, but I decided to try again before. Today I got a different examiner, and the feeling was completely different. I had a very nice experience, so I decided to write this review. The examiner, called Shane, he was very professional, gentle and polite, creating a better atmosphere, especially at the beginning of the test. He gave me clear instructions and his calm posture during the test made a lot of difference in the way I felt during the driving. I could not thank him enough! I’m glad I’ve got him as my examiner today! Thank you Shane!
