Where Do I Take the Test?
You’ll sit your test at a TfL-approved centre. We’ll help you choose the nearest location and handle the booking for you.
What If I Fail?
You have two attempts. Our training aims for a first-time pass, but if you need a second go, we’ll review your areas of difficulty and retrain accordingly.
