New remote testing option for bus, truck, CPC and ADI theory tests

The Driver Theory test Service are rolling out a pilot phase of a new initiative, ProProctor, to allow customers to sit a driver theory test from the comfort of their own home for bus, truck, CPC and ADI theory tests. During the pilot phase remote testing will be available initially on a limited basis and extra capacity will be added as it is rolled out to allow more customers to sit their bus, truck, CPC or ADI theory test remotely. 

This option gives you greater flexibility to choose where to test, when to test and how to test.  Learn More here
