Before you start

You can book the following types of test:

  • car
  • motorcycle
  • lorry and bus, including the Driver Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC) part 1 (theory), part 2 (case studies) and conversion tests

Book without a pupil’s details

You can book tests up to 6 months in advance. You do not have to give a pupil’s details when you book. This is known as being a ‘trainer booker’.

You must confirm the pupil’s details at least one full working day before the test. Working days do not include Sundays and public holidays.

Example

Confirm the pupil’s details by Wednesday if the test is on Friday.

Change or cancel a test

You can change or cancel a test up to 3 full working days before the test. Monday to Saturday count as working days but Sundays and public holidays do not.

If you cancel a test at short notice

You can cancel a test within 3 full working days but you’ll have to pay again. Find out when you can get a refund if you cancel a theory test at short notice.
