Azh Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 Bristol isn't too bad really but they spread it across two days. They do the speaking tests on Friday evenings. Saying that tho I live less than a kilometre from the bristol test centre I'm still going to drive for an hour and a half to burton to take my test there in a weeks time. Just a nicer atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katherine1989 Posted April 10, 2015 Author Share Posted April 10, 2015 What a pain in the arse to spread it over two days, that's a bit inconvenient! Is Burton the next closest one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azh Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 No, they do them in Birmingham and Cardiff but my parents live close by so two birds with one stone and all that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Azh Posted May 5, 2015 Share Posted May 5, 2015 So today I got an email saying that I have passed the first stage of the skills assessment. I now need to fill out a small form asking me to pay for either a technical($1400AUD) or practical($1500AUD) assessment. Just waiting to find out which I should be applying for.
