Candidates with visual impairments

Depending on the level of your visual impairment, you will be offered 25 per cent additional time in which to complete each test and/or an enlarged paper version of the test (for numeracy and literacy only).

Contact the candidate helpdesk on 0845 450 8867 to book a special arrangements test

Paper-based tests require the submission of an application form and optician’s report, or similar.

Large screen monitors (21 inches) can be provided to candidates on request. If you wish to use a large screen monitor, please notify the special arrangements team when booking your skills tests.

If you are blind, you will need to contact the special educational needs coordinator (SENCO) at your training provider and ask them to submit an application form (Word, 61KB) and evidence on your behalf. The TDA will then contact your training provider and liaise with them to arrange an alternative assessment of your skills.

You should not book any tests yourself during this time. Your assessment may take longer to arrange due to the need for the TDA to liaise with your training provider to arrange your test.
