**IMPORTANT NOTICE TO ALL STUDENTS**
Please please DO NOT use websites to try and get a short notice test date.
We completely appreciate that having your tests cancelled and rearranged because of lockdown that you are frustrated and eager to pass.
Unfortunately each Instructor has multiple students and pre booked commitments so they cannot always accommodate your revised test.
You also have to think if it’s realistically achievable.
Please don’t do anything without speaking to your Instructor. They have your best interests at heart and also know their commitments.
If you grab and early date and are not ready then your chances of passing are lessened and then it’s March 2021 for new test dates.
You also lose that original test slot.
Please think before you act.
We may not be able to accommodate your test.

Update on lockdown measures in England
Following the announcement on Saturday 31 October 2020 around further lockdown measures being introduced in England. The DVSA are working closely with the Government to agree the impact these will have on DVSA services.
All driver and rider training and tests will be suspended in England from 5 November until 2 December 2020. The DVSA will be contacting affected test candidates soon.
We don’t have an update yet on key worker training or tests. As soon as we do, we will contact any relevant students.
Update Re : Lockdown
We know last night's news would not have come as a complete shock to many, but nevertheless it is news which will have had a jarring effect on all trainers & students with lessons and tests booked for the fourth coming 6 weeks. We as an Industry are already running massively behind with a big back log.
Please be assured that our Industry leaders in Driving tuition have been in contact with the DVSA overnight and urged them to expedite a communication to the driver training section as to how exactly this latest lockdown will impact practical and theory testing and to also give clear guidance on how it impacts driver and rider training along with key workers.
As far as we can work out as of Sunday morning, tests and lessons are as normal until lockdown on Thurs.
Your Instructor will update you personally.
We will update you as soon as we know more.
