As was reported in October last year, the option to take theory or practical tests in languages other than English or Welsh will no longer be available from 7 April 2014. This means that theory tests will not have voiceovers, and practical tests will not be conducted with interpreters. English and Welsh theory test voiceovers for special needs candidates will still be available, and it will still be possible to use a BSL interpreter if you require it.
The DSA has sent out a reminder that the deadline date is fast approaching.
Just to emphasise. At the moment you can have the theory test in the following languages:
- Albanian
- Arabic
- Bengali
- Cantonese
- Dari
- English
- Farsi
- Gujarati
- Hindi
- Kashmiri
- Kurdish
- Mirpuri
- Polish
- Portuguese
- Punjabi
- Pushto
- Spanish
- Tamil
- Turkish
- Urdu
- Welsh
From 7 April 2014 the list will look like this:
- English
- Welsh
And from 7 April you will only be allowed to have a BSL interpreter. No other interpreter will be allowed.
