Available Tests

Finding a test

The Bookings > Available Tests screen displays all the tests available for you to book.

Various filtering options are available on the Available Tests screen.

Use the Search Available Tests… search box to filter tests by name.

Use the Search Location… search box to filter tests by location.

Within the location filter, tests can also be filtered by proximity from your current location by selecting the arrow.

Note: To filter test locations by proximity, you must allow your browser to use your current location.

Select the proximity from within the search box and choose a proximity from the drop-down menu.

If any test bookings match your selected proximity, the test booking cards are ordered by closest to furthest proximity from you, and each display how far away the test centre is in miles in its Details tab.

Use the Viewing all Test dates calendar field to open a calendar and filter tests by date.

Use the corresponding Event Type and Attribute drop-down menus to filter available tests by event type (Session or On-Demand) or attributes (e.g., on-site lockers).

Lastly, you can also use the Sort By drop-down menu to sort by Deadline, Date, or Title (name).

Viewing test information

Each test is represented by a test card that displays basic information about each test, such as the awarding organisation, event type (Session or On-Demand), and whether the test is available to take online (a remotely invigilated test, usually taken at home).

The Details tab of each test card also details the test date or date range, the name of the test, the test location, whether reasonable adjustments are available, the cost (if applicable), and up to when the test can be booked.

The Locations tab details the available test centres (and/or whether it is an online test).

Select the information icon to view more information about the available test.

On this additional information page, a map detailing the location of the available test centre(s) may be provided.

Select a pin to reveal the corresponding test centre’s name and address.
