Starting June 1, ICBC will be accepting appointments for all types of knowledge tests across the province.
The insurance provider successfully reinstated some knowledge tests on May 4th, which has now encouraged them to expand the program.
All tests must be scheduled by calling ICBC’s driver licence contact centre at 1-800-950-1498 and leave a voicemail message requesting a knowledge test.

Customers will then receive a callback from a representative informing them about available testing locations.
“Due to anticipated demand, ICBC is encouraging customers to come prepared by studying the learning guides and taking the practice knowledge test several times to give them a greater chance of qualifying on the first attempt,” reads a statement from the insurance provider.
Each appointment will be scheduled to last 45 minutes and translation services for knowledge testing will also be reinstated on June 1th.
However there is no word yet on when ICBC will be resuming driver road tests after suspending that service on March 17th.
The insurance provider says they are working with staff members and WorkSafeBC to plan enhanced safety protocols that will allow them to reinstate road tests and further operations.
For now, there is no timeline for resumption.
