Introduction
I would like to introduce “The Taxi Academy” as a Leading Specialist Training provider for the taxi knowledge test. We specialize to train people as Taxi Driver. Working in partnership with various fund providers allows us to claim funds on behalf of our clients, train them up and to put them into work. Strategically this enables us to put an unemployed person into employment and take him off the benefit system hence creating a guaranteed prospective job output for him/her.
We have been working as an affiliate with Serco in Manchester. Beside Serco we have been creating outputs for DWP, JCP, Skill Solutions, Working Links, A4E and Remploy. ESF, ERDF, Manchester University, DWP and JCP allow us to approach their advisor discretionary funds or directly bid on Proc Serve to get their output from us.
“Taxi Academy” is a “Start to Finish” solution for Unemployed, Career changers, Redundant or any sort of people like to train them self in to a new and reliable career. Our course is with guaranteed outcome of “Creating a Self Employed Business”. For the purpose, we not only train but also provide fully plated taxi vehicles, comprehensive insurances, and priority breakdown and maintenance services. We suggest that you should look at our sustainability option plan. (further Support for clients/income streams)

Programme Delivery
No. of lessons learners required are based on the learners Individual Learning Plans but on average we offer on average 10 -16 lessons over a 4 to 8 weeks period depending on the complexity of the council’s testing regime, 84% of our learners achieve a first time pass and if for some reasons if they cannot pass the test standards we then provide them again a full review to determine
a) Why they failed?
b) What caused them to fail?
c) What can help them to pass?
d) How can they overcome their weakness?
e) What areas of their Learning need improving?
Once determined above reasons we start training learners again at no cost to them. Let me mention again we are a “Start to Finish Solution” and we try our best to create these outputs by helping and doing anything we can do for our learners. Taxi Academy has created the syllabus for The knowledge test covering, Greater Manchester Councils and West Midlands Councils.
Our effective overall pass rate is 97%, remaining 3% is those who cannot get through, and they leave the course in middle because of their own personal reasons. Here Taxi Academy again tries its best to help our learners as we deal with a lot of British Minority Ethnics, who sometimes deal with English language issues, to get them through we have dealt it by contracting out with some of our affiliate colleges who can provide them training in English language. This is just a simple effort we do to get our outputs achieved.
We hope the above explains what “Taxi Academy” can do for achieving these new businesses created and employment output targets.
