Wilton (Cork) test waiting times

Sunjammer

I applied in the first couple of days of April got the usual letter back dated April 6th to say I would get a letter to notify me 4 to 5 weeks prior to my test date. According to the RSA website the average waiting time for Wilton is only 8 weeks :rolleyes: So if my test date is going to be 4-5 weeks away from this still to arrive letter then that's some 8 weeks... Reading other threads there seems little point in contacting the RSA to see if there has been a problem.

Just curious has anyone on here been given a test date lately for Wilton and how long were you waiting for?

Ok, i had the same problem with a different centre,you should ring them asap with your driver number or email them and mark it urgent.

The thing is, they never asked for my driver number when i applied and now they need them to process applications. I found them very helpful when i emailed them.

I can't believe they didn't contact me though to ask for my driver number and i was waiting around for ages. They booked me in for next week but it's within the 6month waiting period so now i'll probably have to wait another few months:rolleyes:

I'm not too bothered cos one week's notice was a bit short.

Yeah I know that Donegalfella but do the maths here April + May and now it's half way through June and still no sign of the the letter to tell me it is 4 to 5 weeks away. What is their definition of "average", as I said that's some 8 weeks

Me thinks it's time to renew SGS's contract :pac::pac::pac:

Still no sound from them :rolleyes::mad: Anyone on here get a date in Wilton lately n if so how long was your wait?

Just rang 096 78285 now and all I got was "you have reached the mail box of "....... """Gillian""" (I think she said she didn't sound too excited lol)

Sunjammer

Yippee got through to the RSA on the phone

Rang 096 25000 asked for the driver testing section and got put through but was on hold listening to a recording of endless drivel of a cop breathalyse me then arrest me.... and about driver fatigue all with some sort of static and white noise along with it.. oh and some self praise about having waiting times down nationwide to LESS than 10 weeks... and for all of 23 minutes

Got a result in the end though

Got on to a woman named "Kathleen" who asked me for "my reference number" which I gave her! No that's not a reference number she said.. Oh but it is I said, it says here on my letter from you "Reference number blah blah blah" and please quote above ref number in all correspondence :rolleyes: No it's not she said.... So I said to myself here we ******* go now! She wasted another minute or 2 more telling me that my ref no. was not in fact a ref no.. finally she said, what's your name n D.O.B this one she could not argue the toss over in 10 seconds she said "Ohh we just processed that in the past hour (funny it was 23 minutes after lunch hour she answered the phone :pac:) you got a date in Wilton in early August and will have a letter to notify you in a couple of days" She was helpful enough though and sounded p...ed off with the system too!

So Cork's average waiting time is 8 weeks, nationwide waiting time is now less than 10 weeks and I got mine in extra quick time of just over 17 weeks :pac::pac::pac::pac::rolleyes: you just have to laugh at it all

Well at least I know the story now
