Home / Instructor-Booked Swaps
Can You Swap a Test Booked by Your Instructor?
From May 2026, only you can manage your test — even if your instructor originally booked it.
May 2026 Rule Change
From 12 May 2026, instructors are banned from booking, changing, or cancelling tests on your behalf. Only the learner can call the DVSA to make changes.
What this means for swaps
You can still swap — but YOU must be on the phone call, not your instructor.
Both learners must be on the same call with the DVSA. Swappy Premium handles this with automatic 3-way calling.
Your instructor can NOT call on your behalf to arrange the swap.
Take control of your test booking
List your test on Swappy and manage your own swap — no instructor needed.
