I've been keen to get my tractor license since I was 7 and I turned 16 in December and they've given me a test date of July 7th 2022! I cannot wait that long, does anyone know any way to get an earlier date!!!

If you really want it that much, pay for a "day course" with a training provider? Waste of money for the actual learning to drive part (or might actually see the bad habits you've picked up on the farm already), but can probably get one much quicker.

a day training course would be a waste of time for 16 year old as they can't go on the road!

You don't go on the road, all done in a private yard, using their tractor etc. Much like a scooter course for a 16yo.

You do a proper DVLA examined test at the end of the day, to gain the same license as if you just book through the DVLA. I'm just guessing that they might have earlier availability if have pre-booked examiner slots

I booked in September as my birthday is end of November, got a test date at the start of February, passed alright, tried ringing a few times and it never came to anything, sorry but I don't think there's much we can do about it at this moment in time
