Second chance for on-hold candidates to book slots

Thanks to some ‘persistent’ lobbying by NASP this week, DVSA have advised they will be providing an additional opportunity for on-hold candidates (including those in Scotland) to book a test via a dedicated link.   As you are aware, on 14th September DVSA will release over 375,000 test slots onto the public booking system between 14 September 2020 and 21 January 2021.  In advance of this they will email all remaining ‘on hold’ candidates with a direct link, giving them an additional opportunity to book one of these test slots prior to public release.    This will honour the agency’s previous commitment to give such candidates priority access.  These candidates will not have to wait in the public queue, and are likely to be able find a test slot at a time and place of their convenience.   The email invitation will be sent late next week and we will let you know when this happens.
