No directly matched DVSA pass-rate record is available in the official datasets used for this guide. The DTC does not estimate missing figures.

- 2. The DTC checks whether another learner wants your exact slot and you want theirs.
- 3. Both learners accept, then complete the official DVSA phone process.
Planning around Barra
The recorded address places this centre in Castlebay and Isle of Barra. Before accepting a swap, check that your instructor can cover the new date and that the journey works for the vehicle you will use.
OpenStreetMap records The Square (A888), Main Street, and Nasg within roughly one mile of the centre. The mix of larger roads including The Square (A888) with local roads such as Main Street and Nasg makes it sensible to practise changing speed, lane position and observation between different road types.
Road and transport context was checked against OpenStreetMap contributors on 2026-09-04. It describes the surrounding mapped area, not an official or guaranteed test route.
