Question to the Department for Transport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, pursuant to the Answer of 21 April 2026 to Question 124880, what proportion of completed applications resulted in (a) interview invitations, (b) driving assessments, (c) appointments to training courses and (d) successful qualification as a driving examiner in each recruitment campaign listed.

The table below provides updated data, where possible, for the recruitment campaigns listed in the Answer, 21 April 2026, to Question 124880. This data is again broken down by the total completed applications received, the number of applicants invited to interview, the number of applicants invited to the driving assessment stage, applicants recruited and placed on a training course and how many applicants successfully passed training.

[note 1] - No of applicants invited to interview and driving assessment are the same as this was an assessment centre.

[note 2] – The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) continue to recruit from merit lists for these live recruitment campaigns. The final numbers for the recruitment campaigns shown are therefore not yet known.

DVSA continues to run recruitment campaigns for new driving examiners (DE). DE numbers are at their highest level since November 2017.
