Your Course and Assessment

The Introduction to the Role of the Professional Taxi and Private Hire Driver (Level 2) is designed to give learners as much flexibility as possible.

Testimonial

Chrissy Clarke Testimonial

“ I was made redundant in 2019 from my main job of which I had to survive on my only other income which was a part time job. I decided to apply to become a taxi driver and found the HTA BTEC course very valuable after receiving the course work and studying at home, I only had to spend a few days in the classroom which sped up my application. Where I am now a fully licensed taxi driver and can work and earn when I choose ”

“ I recently became a taxi driver in Hull and I had to complete the BTEC course and Numeracy & Literacy courses. I found the teachers at the Wilberforce Centre very helpful as I am dyslexic so they spent extra time and allowed myself to pass in my own time and I wasn’t charged any re-test fees ”
