Identify professional taxi and private hire drivers easily
Up to 20% off when you register at least 75% of your drivers on the national register of professional taxi and private hire drivers.
The register is the first ever to recognise the high levels of professionalism of drivers, and has been developed to give operators such as yourself one central system to access accurate and timely information about drivers’ skills.
Who can register?
Only professional drivers can register on the system. This means they must have completed in the last three years one of the two qualifications that operators recognise as being the best preparation to the roles, delivered by a People 1st accredited provider :
-
The NVQ Level 2 Certificate in Road Passenger Vehicle Driving
-
The Level 2 Certificate in Introduction to the Role of the Professional Taxi and Private Hire Driver
To remain on the register, or if they have received their qualifications more than three years ago,
drivers must provide proof of the fact that they have been keeping their skills up to date by carrying out People 1st Continual Professional Development (CPD) training delivered by an accredited provider.
How does the register benefit you?
-
It lets you quickly verify the information drivers provide to make sure they have the Level 2 qualification you want
-
It encourages drivers to keep up to date with their training, as they have to carry out CPD every three years to stay on the register
-
Drivers will receive a badge to wear so that your company stands out to customers as a place where qualified and professional people are working
-
Drivers will receive a unique reference number to help them deal more effectively with their licensing authority
