Book without a pupil’s details

You can book tests up to 3 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 by 4pm at least one clear working day before the test. Working days do not include Sundays and public holidays.

###Example Confirm the pupil’s details by 4pm on Wednesday if the test is on Friday.

Change or cancel a test

You must give at least 3 full working days’ notice to change or cancel the test, or you’ll have to pay again. Monday to Saturday count as working days but Sundays and public holidays do not.
