Skills tests are delivered via the national network of Pearson Professional Centres (PPCs). Test centres are also available in Paris, Madrid and Frankfurt.Test centres are Pearson VUE branded; no Teaching Agency signage will be displayed. PPCs deliver a wide range of tests for clients in addition to the Teaching Agency, such as the Driving Standards Agency. 

  • Arrival at the test centre at least 15 minutes before your appointment is strongly advised, to allow for security checks. If you arrive late, you may not be permitted to take the test. 
  • ITT applicants will need to provide evidence of their application. This could be a copy of the application form or confirmation of receipt. 
  • Remember to bring your booking confirmation email to the test centre. 
  • Bring your relevant identification, as detailed on the ID requirements page. 
  • Read and understand the test rules before arriving at the test centre and adhere to the rules at all times once you are in the test centre. 
  • The waiting area, in the majority of test centres, is designed to facilitate the needs of candidates; there are no provisions for childcare. Anyone accompanying you to the test centre will not be allowed to wait in the PPC. 
  • When you have finished the test, your results will be available from the test administrator. 

Feedback about your testing experience should be submitted to the skills test helpline.
