13 centres in Scotland are approved by DVSA to run the Driver CPC part 3a off-road test, according to the list behind the gov.uk "find a part 3a test provider" service. Part 3a is taken after the theory test and before the on-road test. An approved provider can charge up to £40 for the test, not counting training or vehicle hire. If the organisation that trains you is also your test provider, your assessor must not have been involved in your training.
