About this test centre

Drivers booked at GTG (Glasgow) report to a DVSA centre in BAE Systems, Glasgow City, postcode G14 0AR. The hgv/lgv routes used here are drawn from the streets the centre's examiners drive every week, so the test reflects local conditions rather than a generic syllabus. 8.6K tests through 2017-18-2024-25 puts GTG (Glasgow) in the comfortable middle of the volume distribution. The pass rate moves with real signal, not noise.

By raw pass rate GTG (Glasgow) sits at 62.6%, with the DVSA's national hgv/lgv average over the same window running at 60.2%. The gap (2.4 points above the UK figure) places the centre at rank #64 of 124, inside the lower half of the country's hgv/lgv test centres. First-attempt data for GTG (Glasgow) is missing from the DVSA's DRT122C release. It's not a low number, it's no number, the centre is small enough that DVSA omits it from that particular table.

All figures shown are aggregated from the DVSA quarterly statistical release covering the most recent reporting periods available. Pass-rate calculations exclude tests cancelled by the candidate or examiner. Sample sizes and methodology are described in the source attribution at the foot of this page.
