Once a request for a tractor driving test has been made - online or by phone - it can take 6 to 8 weeks before a test time and date is sent to the candidate, which may be some weeks later.
The date of the test will depend on the availability of the examiner. Examiners try and manage their time efficiently so if there are several candidates in once area the may try and arrange several tests in that area during the same time.
Candiates are advised either to take a screen shot of the last screen containing an application reference number or make a note of the number if they book thier tests online.
They will need this number to chase up a booking request. Until the latest date is issued there is no ability to chase a booking request online – enquiries need to be made by phone – and the application ref. number is vital to find a request in the system.
