There is currently a competition for driver testers being managed by the Public Appointments Service. Driver testers have not yet been appointed as a result of the process but I expect that ten will be appointed and undertaking tests by the summer. My Department has also employed seven people, on secondment from the Department of Agriculture and Food, who have recently finished training and are now in a position to conduct driving tests.
