I passed my test there earlier this year. Finding the centre took a few minutes more than anticipated due to road works (at the time). Bit of a dodgy area but my test was booked for around 10 or 11am so the only people about were workers really. All the staff I met were great- I was asked if it was my first time there and responded with a yes so I was given a rule sheet to read through and sign. Everything was professional- yes they have to check that you have nothing on your person which will help you cheat but they do this in a polite and noninvasive way. You get a locker to out your valuables in and then get led into a room where you do the test. There was a lady who would walk around every now and then, making sure no one was cheating or to help someone with computer issues. After the test, you leave the room, empty out your locker, return the key and get your results. I was so excited when I go my results that I got my phone out to take a picture of my sheet (I was in the reception area and not the test area but missed the sign stating phones weren't allowed). One of the receptionists simply requested I put my phone away as they weren't allowed to be used and I apologised which she smiled at and told me I could use it once I'd left the premises. From what I saw at the centre, they have to deal with a lot of rude people including people who refuse to believe they've failed or who don't put their phone away when asked, people who turn up late and still insist on being allowed in or people without the relevant identification. It's no wonder that they can seem to be a bit standoffish. All in all, a decent experience for the test and helpful staff.
