The new digital learner’s licence testing set up at Brackenfell Driving Licence Testing Centre Cape Town’s Driving Licence Testing Centres are moving away from paper-based learner’s licence exams, with a new computerised testing system set to go live at selected sites from Monday. The City announced on Friday that the Computerised Learner’s Licence Testing (CLLT) system will be rolled out across all 18 of its Driving Licence Testing Centres (DLTCs), replacing the traditional booklet-based test with a digital, touchscreen format. Installation has already been completed at four centres, Brackenfell, Elsies River, Joe Gqabi and Lingelethu West with Brackenfell and Elsies River scheduled to go live on December 15 .
Go-live dates for the remaining centres will be communicated directly at facility level. The City is acting as an implementing agent for the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) and the Western Cape Government. Mayoral committee member for safety and security JP Smith said the shift was “long overdue” and could ease pressure on an often-frustrating licensing process.
“This shift in gears is long overdue and brings us a step closer to the digital age,” Smith said. “Not only will it speed up the time it takes to complete the test, but so too the results. Perhaps it can even reduce waiting times for appointments.”
