DSA has two types of employees; administrative and operational.

Administrative roles

These roles are varied in terms of grades, duties and specialisms. DSA has roles which start at a supporting level right through to senior management, based in any of its four main administrative centres; its headquarters in Nottingham, area offices in Cardiff and Newcastle (including a contact centre in Newcastle) and its training establishment in Cardington, Bedford.

Operational roles

This is DSA’s examining workforce. The bulk of these are driving examiners, but DSA also has a number of management grades on the operational side of the business. These workers are based throughout our test centres nationwide.
