To successfully acquire a DVLA driver's license in Ghana, students should make it a priority to familiarize themselves with and fulfil all the necessary DVLA requirements. Here's a helpful checklist to guide you through the process.
📌 Learner must:
Students must attend lessons on time and fully participate in training.
Students must behave respectfully toward instructors, staff, and colleagues.
The following are prohibited:
No-Show Penalty: A ₵20 penalty applies if a student fails to show up for a booked lesson without prior notice (If someone doesn't show up for their appointment, the penalty will be taken from the fees they've already paid until they settle the penalty payment.)

We can assist with test bookings, but we do not guarantee specific dates. To successfully book your DVLA test, please visit https://www.dvlawrittentest.com/Operations/FreshTestSchedule (for standard license only).
Applicants must pick up their driver's license from the DVLA branch that served them.
NOTICE: MAY 12, 2026. Premium Service and Priority Test are two completely different arrangements under the driver licensing process.
Premium Service refers to the expedited processing and printing of a driver's license card within two (2) weeks. However, before a person can enjoy this service, all required stages for obtaining a driver's license must first be successfully completed. These stages include:
Once all these requirements are successfully completed, a temporary driver's license is issued. The two-week Premium Service processing period begins from the date the temporary license is issued.
The Priority Test arrangement has since been withdrawn internally and should not affect the normal services available to the public. Currently, applicants are expected to receive a date for their theory test at the time they obtain their learner's permit. This arrangement is intended to ensure that by the end of their training period, their scheduled test date will be near, allowing them to proceed smoothly with the licensing process.
The general public is further informed that both Standard Service and Premium Service applicants are scheduled for their theory test within a duration of three (3) months from the date the test is scheduled in the DVLA Written Test Scheduling System. Applicants are therefore advised to take note that Premium Service does not shorten the official theory test scheduling duration.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Do not confuse Premium Service with Priority Test, as they serve different purposes within the licensing process.
The school is not responsible for:
The school will be liable only for damages caused by proven staff negligence.
These terms may be updated periodically. Updates will appear on:
