RoSPA South West Group

Administration

What happens when RoSPA headquaters receive my application form?

When RoSPA HQ receive your application form they send it to the Regional Senior Examiner for your area. Within one week he will allocate an examiner who will contact you by phone or by letter within two weeks to arrange your test. This will be carried out in your own vehicle. Many examiners are serving police officers who work shifts so please book your test at least a month in advance. You may be asked to travel a short distance to meet the examiner or to start the test away from a congested area.

What qualifications does a RoSPA Examiner hold?

All examiners hold a UK police advanced driving qualification and many are also police driving instructors. Your examiner will therefore be one of the best trained drivers in the country. Please bring your driving licence, MoT certificate, if appropriate, and insurance certificate. Tests last about an hour and a half and cover a variety of road conditions. Occasionally a senior examiner may wish to travel on the test but will take no part in the testing and will not accompany you if you object.
