The validity period of Initial Basic Training (IBT) certificate is set out in legislation. Making a change to the validity of an existing certificate requires a change in law.

I can confirm that the Road Safety Authority (RSA) has recently submitted a proposal to my Department for a further extension to IBT certificates.  This is currently being worked on within my Department. An update is expected shortly.
