The Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) is working closely with the Department for Transport to prepare for a safe return to testing. It will announce details of resumption in due course. The DVSA is committed to resuming testing services for all candidates as soon as it is safe to do so and in line with Government advice.

The DVSA’s Chief Executive issued further guidance on resuming testing to approved driving instructors, motorcycle training schools, and vocational driving instructors on 15 June 2020. This guidance is published on GOV.UK and can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/coronavirus-letter-from-dvsa-chief-executive-to-driver-and-rider-trainers-about-restarting-instruction-and-tests?utm_source=69d5d459-d250-4458-9252-9485392b0d13&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=govuk-notifications&utm_content=immediate
