Driver CPC part 3: preparation and booking

The Driver CPC part 3 tests are an opportunity to show that you can drive consistently well, with confidence, and without help and guidance.

Driver CPC Part 3 includes:

part 3a - the off-road exercises

part 3b - on-road driving

How much does it cost?

part 3a - up to £40

part 3b - £115 weekdays (£141 other)

Booking your Part 3 tests

It’s best to book using the official site, GOV.UK. If you use an unofficial site, you might pay more than you need to or you may not get a booking at all.

Alternatively, your trainer may book for you at the end of your training course.

You can find your nearest test centre at GOV.UK.

You can also use GOV.UK if you need to change the test date or centre or cancel your test.

If you have special needs, such as a disability, visit GOV.UK to find out what help is available for the practical test.
