Courses, study support and SPSV questions in one place.

A regular SPSV driver licence is part of a regulated process. A new applicant generally needs to meet the driver-licensing requirements, pass the SPSV Driver Entry Test and then complete the driver-licence application process. Check the current NTA and Garda requirements before applying.

Study both modules: Industry Knowledge and the Area Knowledge for the county in which you want to be licensed. The NTA states that the Official Manual for Operating in the SPSV Industry is the study material for the Industry module. For Area Knowledge, use maps and learn important places, transport hubs, major streets/roads and other locations listed in current NTA guidance.

There is no single preparation time that suits everyone. Start with a short diagnostic practice set, follow the TPI Study Roadmap, and base your test date on consistent results across both Industry and Area Knowledge rather than a fixed number of days.

The current SPSV Driver Entry Test is multiple choice and has two modules: Industry Knowledge and Area Knowledge. Current NTA information says the full test contains 54 Industry questions and 36 Area questions, with a 75% pass mark required in each module.

Current NTA guidance says you can repeat only the failed module, and the passed module can be carried for 12 months from the original test. If both modules are not passed within that period, the full test must be taken again.

No. TPI mock tests are independent practice simulations. They are designed to help you revise and become comfortable with multiple-choice testing, but they are not produced or administered by the NTA.

Current NTA information directs candidates to book through the SPSV Industry Information Line. Always check the NTA website for the latest booking method, fee and required information before booking.

The NTA publishes the current SPSV test-centre locations. Test availability can change, so use the official centre list when you are ready to book.

Appointment availability varies. TPI should not promise a fixed waiting time. Contact the NTA booking service for the current available dates and centres.

Passing the test is not the same as receiving a driver licence. You then continue the SPSV driver-licence application process, including the application, required documents, tax-compliance requirements and Garda suitability/vetting process.

The NTA driver-licensing guidance explains the documents and fees, while An Garda Síochána is the driver-licensing authority that administers applications and suitability/vetting. Use the current official instructions when applying.

Processing time can vary by applicant and should not be treated as a guaranteed number. Plan for the licensing process to take time and use current Garda/NTA information for your individual application.

Licence validity and renewal rules can change. TPI will keep verified study questions tied to official sources, but for an actual licence or renewal decision you should always check the current NTA/Garda instructions.

Vehicle licensing is separate from the driver licence. The NTA sets out a multi-step vehicle-licensing process covering vehicle suitability, application, documentation, insurance, NCT and the Initial Suitability Inspection.

No. Studying for and passing the SPSV Driver Entry Test is part of driver licensing. Vehicle licensing is a separate process if you later want to license a vehicle as an SPSV.

TPI provides structured Industry Knowledge and Area Knowledge study, explanations, module-specific mock tests, saved questions, progress tracking and TPI Tutor. The existing learner map presentation is temporarily hidden while a clearer Area-learning experience is redesigned; the underlying map work remains protected.

Learn the correct location or road relationship first, read the explanation, group nearby places together, and use current official guidance or a trusted map service when you want extra orientation. TPI will add a redesigned learner visual system separately after it is tested.

TPI keeps the modules separate. Area Knowledge and Industry Knowledge each have their own timed mock flow. Answers are reviewed one question at a time after submission, without exposing the question-bank size.

Yes. Car, Motorcycle, Truck and Bus are separate learner-facing courses. TPI will publish each question set only in its correct course and will not fill unfinished areas with unverified questions.
