    Hey,

    Did my IBT October 2013 and got my A provisional, I haven't taken the test yet but my question is if I fail to pass the test by October of 2015 do I have to re do the IBT? or if not does it ever expire

    tks

    Yes it will expire, according to the RSA it is valid for 2 years from the date of issue.

    thanks.

    i saw that aswell and my understanding of that was that you had to get your learner permit within the 2 years of getting IBT cert, but once you have the permit can you just keep applying for more permits as they run out?

    Well the website isn't clear at all it talks about if a learner permit expires it mentioned 5 years but it also says if you do the IBT after 2013 it's only valid for 2 years

    Thats correct, old certs issued before 19/01/2013 do not expire if your permit is kept valid.

    New certs issued from 19/01/2013 are valid for two years.

    No not expired, but valid for category 'A2' (Restricted category).
