What is it?
Taxi and PHV drivers in England and Wales are often the first contact to a region for tourists and visitors and act as ambassadors for that region. However, many rarely receive the recognition they deserve for the essential service that they provide.
There is now a nationally recognized qualification available for self employed taxi and PHV drivers that introduce a recognised level of skills and competency. This ensures taxi drivers have the required level of underpinning knowledge to perform the job to a high standard and raise the profile and image of the role in the process. More and more Licensing authorities across the country are now recognising the qualification and encouraging Taxi drivers to take advantage of the qualification as a requirement.
TTP are a leading recognised training provider in this area, and worked with government bodies, taxi drivers, licensing authorities and taxi ranks in delivering a tailored training programme and course that meets the needs of the authorities and Taxi drivers.

- The delivery of a BTEC (On line Test) as underpinning knowledge (Vocational Related Qualification) – Recognised as a must by some licensing authorities!
