North-east England FAQs
Can I find swaps in North-east England?
You can list your test and The DTC will look for compatible learners using your selected centres, dates, test type and DVSA rules.
Are learner details public?
No. Public pages may show the test centre, calendar date, a broad morning, afternoon or evening availability band and whether the learner wants an earlier or later test. Exact times, identities, contact details, detailed preferences and booking references remain private.
Does The DTC guarantee a swap?
No. The DTC can only help identify possible peer-to-peer matches.
How does the official swap happen?
After both accept, each learner calls DVSA separately on the same day. Learner 1 requests the swap and learner 2 calls to complete it, preferably by 4pm. The swap is only complete when DVSA confirms the new bookings.
What if this is a Northern Ireland centre?
Northern Ireland tests are managed by DVA/nidirect. NI directory pages are visible, but live swap matching is disabled unless The DTC enables DVA support.
What details should I keep private?
Never share phone numbers, email addresses, licence numbers, theory certificate numbers, home address, card details or GOV.UK login details with another learner. Only booking references are shared through the protected process after both learners consent.
