Extend theory certificates for Potential Driving Instructors due to wait times

What the petition asks
I've been training for a year and a half. After passing part 1, I had to wait 6 months for part 2 due to a backlog from covid and have been waiting for 10 months for a test date to be a driving instructor. I should get 3 attempts at this test but due to the backlog, I won't. This is unfair.
There are a lot of PDIs are in this situation. The Government should extend the theory test pass certificates to give people a chance.
