Taxi-Specific Rules and Skills
Becoming a taxi driver involves specialist knowledge that goes beyond general driving. Here's what we help you focus on:
Local Area Knowledge
Most councils require a strong understanding of the local road network, key landmarks, and efficient route planning. We support your study and offer tips to help you prepare for council-set knowledge tests.
Customer Service Standards
As a professional driver, you’ll be expected to interact respectfully and helpfully with passengers. Our training includes customer service scenarios and guidance on handling all types of passengers with professionalism.
Driving Ability Test
You may be required to take a council-specific driving assessment that evaluates your control, observation, and judgment in real-life traffic situations. We provide mock tests and coaching to help you pass with confidence.
Safety and Defensive Driving
Learn how to anticipate hazards, minimise risks, and drive responsibly in all conditions. Defensive driving is a crucial part of both your exam and your daily responsibilities on the road.
Vehicle Maintenance Basics
Gain essential knowledge of how your vehicle works, how to spot issues early, and what’s required to keep it roadworthy and safe for passengers. This can be part of your assessment depending on your local council.
