Retest questions
I failed my LGV driving test with another school. Can you help?
Yes, that's exactly what our retest package is for. It's £813 for a free observation day, a full 8-hour training day with your DVSA driving test in the final hour, and the test fee.
What's included in the £813?
A free observation day on another candidate's test day, two 4-hour training sessions run as one 8-hour day, and your DVSA driving test at Ipswich in the final hour. If you don't pass, further retest training is half price until you do.
What if I fail the retest with you?
Each further retest is half price, as many times as you need until you pass. Our terms explain exactly what's included.
Why is the observation day included?
Every retest package starts with one. You ride along with another candidate on their test day, learn the Ipswich test routes and their hotspots, and do some of the driving. It's the quickest way to get to know an area you haven't tested in before.
Where is the test?
At DVSA Ipswich, which had the highest LGV pass rate of any large test centre in Great Britain in 2025 to 2026: 87.6%, against a national average of 60.7%.
What do I need to bring?
