About this test centre

Norwich is the DVSA motorcycle module 2 test centre in Norwich, Norfolk. Examiners drive a mix of the roads immediately surrounding the centre; the DVSA does not publish its test routes. 4.6K tests over 2009-10-2015-16. Norwich runs at a lower volume than the major metro centres, which means the data on this page rewards looking at the long-run trend rather than any single quarter.

Rank: #43 of 135. Pass rate: 77.8%. UK average: 72.2%. That's a upper half centre by the DVSA's own published figures. DVSA doesn't break out first-attempt figures for Norwich in DRT122C, so the split between first-time and retake pass rates isn't published for this centre.

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.
