The current trainee driver assessment process consists of a fast reaction computer test, concentration test, mechanical comprehension test, two trainability tests and a criteria based interview.

There is a minimum age requirement of 21 and drivers must not have defective colour vision. Body Mass Index should not normally exceed 33.

Candidates are only allowed to sit the assessment twice, and six months must elapse before you are eligible to re-sit the assessment. Details of all assessment results are kept on a national database.
