Emergency Theory/practical tests.

Changes to the emergency driving and theory testing application process

From today (Friday 24 April), DVSA have launched a new service to help make it quicker and easier for key workers to apply for an emergency driving test or an emergency theory test.

How the new service will work 

Key workers will no longer need to email to request an emergency test. Instead, they will need to submit an application on GOV.UK.

They will be asked to supply their ID at the start of the application, so we have all the information we need to confirm if they’re eligible for an emergency test. 

DVSA will email those who meet the criteria, with a new test date and time at their nearest available test centre. This will be based on the information they provide when submitting their application.

To apply for the theory please click this link and follow the instructions: https://www.gov.uk/apply-emergency-theory-test

To apply for the practical test please click this link and follow the instructions: https://www.gov.uk/browse/driving/learning-to-drive

We are still here for all our pupils that qualify for this and will help you get your test through these difficult times.
