Dear Customers

As the demands for driving tests reaches unprecedented levels, with an estimated 5 million learners trying to book just 1.9 million driving test slots, making it almost impossible to get tests in most areas of the country. We are struggling to get tests for our customers too, usually with a 6 month wait, and it is not expected to improve until at least 2026! Therefore you need to plan a long way in advance.

Thankfully we do have a few slots available but you cannot do both the theory and driving tests in one course so the following dates are only available if you have already passed your theory test, and they will go fast!

Your start date will depend on the length of your course as the tests below will be arranged for the last hour of the last day of your course so for example if the test is on a Friday you would start on the Monday before for a 5 day course or the Sunday before for a 6 day course!

We currently have availability with a practical test available for the following dates;

Thursday 24th July – Manual only

Friday 1st August – Manual only

Friday 8th August – Manual or Automatic

Friday 15th August – Manual or Automatic

Friday 22nd August – Manual or Automatic

Friday 29th August – Manual or Automatic

Friday 5th September – Manual or Automatic

Thursday 11th September – Manual or Automatic

Friday 26th September – Manual or Automatic

Most weeks from October onwards for manual or automatic (we will then book a test when one becomes available) but be warned these dates are going fast so you will need to book now, and you can only book if you have passed your theory test! Please click here if you have not yet passed your theory test for more advice!

To be very clear these dates will go fast as most weeks there is just the one test slot available so book now!

The waiting times would be a lot better if people turned up for their tests or simply cancelled them if they cannot make them so other people could make use of the test slot. Last year at just our local test centre, a staggering 400 tests did not take place as candidates failed to turn up, & this year there was 10 in just the first week of March alone, that is more than one a day! One of the main reasons for this is that people are booking their own tests and then struggling to find a driving instructor, as we are all fully booked. Therefore, I urge you not to try to book your test yourself and instead let us handle the booking process for you.

As an industry we are still recovering from the pandemic, it is predicted that it will be at least Summer 2026 before any semblance of ‘normality’ returns to many parts of the country, but we feel sure it will be far longer than that as there has been little improvement in the last 4 years! We strongly advise you to plan ahead, book your theory test as early as possible & then contact us as soon as you have passed it.

Please also bear in mind that school holiday periods tend to get fully booked well in advance, so if you are looking to book during these dates, you will need to plan even further ahead.

It is important to note that we are unable to reserve test slots, so the only way we can book you in for a test is if you have already passed your theory test, booking is easy using our online booking form.

Lastly, please be aware that the test booking system only goes up to about 6 months ahead, which currently means July. If you are looking to book a test after this date, please fill out our booking form so we can secure the test date for you as soon as it becomes available.

Thank you for your attention to this matter. We appreciate your cooperation and understanding as we work to improve the test booking process at our centre.

What have you got to lose? We will arrange everything for you before taking any money from you & if for any reason you are not happy with those arrangements, we will happily cancel everything, no charge!

Please note other tests do come up from time to time so let us know what you are looking for and we will try our best for you!

The sooner you fill out our booking form the sooner we can get you booked in, but we can only do this if you have already passed your theory test!

If you still need to pass your theory then sadly we cannot save any space for you so please come back to us once you have done this, you can click here to book a theory test now!

Remember you are always welcome to do a course without a test which on the face of it does not seem like a good idea but we have had lots of people do this during last year and loved doing the course without the pressure of a test at the end of the week! It also means you then have 2 options, either come back to us for a short course or take the test local to you giving you more chance of getting an earlier test slot! Just fill out our booking form and click on the ‘no test required’ or at a note to say this is what you want.
