Do you/did you have an "A" learner permit lately? If not then I'm afraid you have to do the entire rigmarole, as it's a different license category. The thing is you'll only need to do the IBT Conversion Module, which is two modules out of four.

Reckon he'll get away with just the IBT Conversion Module, but - see my edit.

You do, unfortunately. I passed the A1 test twenty years ago, and fucked around with provisionals for years simply because (at the time)) I could! In 2009 I finally pulled the finger out and got the full-A sorted, but I had to start in Newbie mode. At least I ducked the Jaysis IBT!

Yep,
you still need to pass the practical test to get the pinkie..

As the licence categories are changing again from next year, it's a good idea to get yerself sorted with the A pinky this year to avoid more possible messing!
