Who Is This Course For?

HHF will discuss your role, access to evidence and assessment plan before you enrol. Choose optional units that fit your work and goals.

Entry and Practical Access Requirements

You need access to real taxi or private hire work. Your driver and vehicle licensing arrangements must suit the practical units. Agree your work access, optional units and evidence plan with HHF before you enrol.
Tell HHF about any learning support needs so the team can consider support and reasonable adjustments. Course entry and eligibility for a local licence are separate checks.
Assessment and Evidence Requirements
Build a portfolio of real work evidence. Workplace observation is the main way to assess practical units. Your assessor may also ask questions, discuss your work and check work examples or reports from suitable witnesses.
