How to book driving test?

[Biggles111]

Morning all. Biggles junior is trying to book a driving test, ideally for around Nov/Dec. He has been learning since last Sept, Covid obviously stopped him for a lot of this time.

As many will have experienced, the DVLA website just shows no availability for each date that we punch in.

My understanding is that they show slots for the next 24 weeks. Is there a given day/time when new slots get released, or do any of the online third party booking sites add any value in searching for slots?

I knew things were bad due to covid but was hoping the system might be slightly more usable. Currently looking at spending several days trying for individual dates at the test centre otherwise. Thanks for any ideas…

Thanks. Good to hear that these sites work. Will give it a go once we have a slot and he is closer to being ready. Just need to help him practice now!
