Booking an NCT online 3 months early issue....

Col200sx

Trying to book my NCT online 3 months early, it's offering me a booking on my first available date (November 15th), but it's only offering me that date alone.

It's not offering me the chance to change it, not even change the time.

If you're trying for a 3 month early test, are you limited to only what the offer you?

Other dates and times have probably already been booked by others. Try the week after

It's probably just genuinely only available date.
Try booking it, and then you can look up everyday if something more isn't available, so you can rebook it for something more suitable for you.

PS - I think they changed their online booking system recently so you can book one month in advance of this 3 months before due date.

F.e I remember last year I was trying to book my test for first possible date (exactly 3 months before due date) but even 3 weeks before that online booking system was telling me, that my vehicle is not due instpection at the moment.
I rang them, and she told me the same. That my vehicle is not due inspection. I explained her, that my car is not due inspection at the moment, but in 3 weeks I can do the test, and because it always takes few weeks to get a booking, I'm ringing now to get the first possible date. She put me on hold for about 10 minutes, but then returned and booked me for that day I wanted.
This year, exactly one month before first possible test date, online system opened for me, so I could book it online.

No what I'm saying is that it suggests the time and date to me, I have no option to change it anywhere.

I want to move it to the weekend, but there's no option to do that

EDIT, Cinio replied as I posted.

@ Cinio, so should I just book that time (even though I'm unavailable) and hope I can change it?

Yes - you can change it up to one week before the test.
You might get more luck over the phone, as they usually have more available dates than online system.
But booking it now, can only help.

just call them, they are very accomodating I find
