You need a mot license to test and most definitely the class your testing!

No you don't. You might need a licence at the time you sit your course but if for whatever reason you loose it afterwards you can still carry on testing.

Where a Deceloromter test is required on a test ,then the tester should not start the test in the 1st place.

Another clear as mud rule from DVSA.
