Why interactive tools alongside the data

The site's static pages (centre, city, region, ranking, research) answer reference questions: "what is the pass rate at Wood Green?", "which centre is easiest in Scotland?". The tools answer planning questions: "what will all this cost me?", "how long is the wait near me?", "which nearby centre gives me the best odds?". Same dataset, different surface.

The tool inputs and computation run in your browser; the tools query our in-bundle index of DVSA centres and do not POST what you type to our server. Third-party analytics may record interaction patterns under the consent terms documented on the privacy policy. The tools are free to use and bookmark-friendly.
