Oldham and Shaw are both well-served from our Oldham base.

Chadderton is ideal for intensive courses because the DVSA test centre is on Peel Lane OL9 — you train on the exact roads the examiner will use. Hollinwood Avenue, Chadderton Way, and Broadway A663 are key routes. Pupils taking an intensive course here have excellent route familiarity by test day.

Failsworth sits between Oldham and Manchester, making it perfect for training on both urban Manchester roads and the quieter Oldham residential streets. The A62 Oldham Road is a key training route, as are the streets around Failsworth town centre. Intensive pupils in Failsworth benefit from varied road types in a compact area.

Test centre: Rochdale, Maclure Road OL11
Typical hours needed: 25–45 hours
Rochdale has its own DVSA test centre on Maclure Road — a major advantage for intensive course pupils as you can train and test locally without travelling. Key training routes include Yorkshire Street, Drake Street, the A58 Halifax Road, and Queensway A671. Rochdale town centre navigation and the nearby dual carriageway stretches provide excellent preparation.

Middleton sits conveniently between two test centres, giving intensive course pupils flexibility on test day booking. The A664 Manchester New Road, Rochdale Road, and Alkrington area provide varied training conditions. Middleton is popular for intensive courses because of the quick access to both motorway-standard roads and quiet residential areas.

Typical hours needed: 25–45 hours
Ashton-under-Lyne pupils can train locally on the A635 Ashton New Road, Stamford Street, and the busy town centre junctions before travelling to the Chadderton test centre. The route variety in Ashton — including tram crossings, multi-lane roundabouts, and bus corridors — is excellent crash course preparation and mirrors the complexity of the actual test.

Royton is one of the closest areas to the Chadderton test centre — just 5 minutes away — making it perfect for intensive course pupils who want maximum route familiarity before their test. Royton town centre, Shaw Road, and the A671 give a good mix of road types. Many of our intensive course pass holders have trained in Royton.
