‼️Booking/Swapping Tests‼️
(Helpful tips)

*. Only the candidate can book
(Therefore, get up early on Monday mornings and book)

(Many parents are booking for their son/daughter, understandably, but it's making the system harder to swap tests if at some point you need to swap. Maybe an earlier test, due to being ready or later as not ready/passing Mock Tests.)

*. Swapping tests/only candidates. can do the swapping

(Be careful and totally prepared when ringing the DVSA that you have the EXACT information at hand.) Email addresses, bank details, reference numbers, address that's on your actual booking, your Licence Number etc

Thanks 🙏

Congratulations to Amelie Dickinson for passing the this weekend 👏 It's been a little journey for Amelie, but it's not been easy when being raised in a Country with very different road/driving rules. As the UK has many rules to learn. Well done Amelie :)

Congratulations to Evie McWilliams from Markfield for passing the this afternoon @4.26pm , 4 dfs 👏🎉🎉

Delivering a fairly fluid route, especially for the time of day, negotiating the M69 roundabout twice from different directions , a Reverse Bay manoeuvre in a Restaurant car park, an immediate pull up on the left from the test centre on a hill after a minute away on the journey. A test in 34 degree heat, but with the Air Con blasting out on max. With a very red faced exhausted examiner, that I did have quite a bit of empathy delivering tests in the heat today! 🥵
Well done Evie and a good decision to put the extra 6 hours in last week leading up to your test , exploring the villages and countryside surrounding Hinckley, together with a very congested town centre (at times.)

💥 1ST TIME PASS 💥 18.06.26

The big day came for Nicole from Loughborough and she achieved an excellent with just 2 dfs 👏👍

Being a young mum of two is not easy, but to balance a job, together with the added pressure of driving lessons can be a huge challenge! Nicole does all of this in her stride and manages to schedule an extra handful more of 2 hour lessons as her approaches.

It paid off today and she got the result she deserved!
Delivering a route following sign posts from the beginning of the test and negotiating the 'one ash' roundabout twice from different directions, together with a
Parallel Park manoeuvre in a busy area. A few challenging situations on route but no problem for Nicole :)

Super proud of you Nicole and will miss the lessons.
