Taxi Driver English, Maths and Knowledge Assessments

This is an English and maths assessment which, when passed, allows you to take the Taxi Knowledge Assessment. You will be assessed on your level of reading, writing, speaking and listening in English and also your maths skills.

The 'Screening' test consists of an English & maths test. You will complete both an English and maths paper and Speaking & Listening test in 90 minutes. In order to pass, you must be Entry 3 or above in English and you must get 35 out of 50 in the maths paper to pass.

You must be able to communicate in English.

You will have 90 minutes to complete one paper for English and one for Maths and also a Speaking & Listening test.

Make sure you practise your English and maths before you come for the test. Once you have enrolled, you will receive an information pack via email.

If you fail the English and maths test you will not be allowed to progress on to the Knowledge course and test and you will have to re-book both tests at the cost of £110.

There is zero tolerance for cheating. If you’re caught cheating, you will be banned from taking the test again.

Studying at College

The health and safety of our learners and staff is still very important to us and so there may continue to be an element of study outside of the classroom during the, academic year. The proportion of these hours will depend on the individual qualification(s) being undertaken. You must do the work set during these times or it will impact your progress on the course and therefore your achievement.
