Selective social media, missing updates and an invisible new CEO - DVSA is promoting progress on test recovery, but key stakeholders are still waiting for promised updates. ADIs and PDIs, does the picture DVSA is presenting match what you’re seeing?

A crackdown with unintended consequences? - ADIs can no longer manage pupil test bookings, learners are left to navigate the system themselves and bots are still getting through. Has removing ADIs from the process actually made things better?

New examiners waiting to be deployed - Learners are waiting months for tests, while DIA has heard from examiner applicants and trained candidates also facing delays. ADIs and PDIs, are you seeing examiner shortages at your local centres?

Locked out and left waiting - Genuine learners appear to be getting caught by DVSA’s anti-bot measures, with some reporting 12-month suspensions from the booking system.
ADIs and PDIs, have any of your pupils been affected?

Questions over net new examiner numbers - DVSA says new examiners have helped unlock 10,000 extra tests a month. But are ADIs and PDIs actually seeing better availability where they work?
What’s happening at your local test centres?
