Course programme

The private hire regulations have recently changed and included a new English language Test requirement to apply for PCO (Public Carriage Office) Licence. The new requirement means, from 2020 you will have to provide TfL with evidence to prove that you can communicate in English.
This will have to be done by providing an English language certificate with B1 level of English on the CEFR (Common European Framework). This is an internationally recognised qualification.
It is essential for public safety that all PCO licensed drivers can communicate in English at an appropriate level (B1). Communicating with passengers to discuss a route, or fare, as well as reading, understanding and being able to respond to important regulatory, safety and travel information.

We will send you course materials in 30 min of booking the course, study at home with tutor guidelines and come only one day for the test. We do the test weekday and weekend.
B1 English Course consist of all 4 modules:?? Speaking?? Listening?? Reading ?? Writing
Our speciality:** Approved exam centre** Accepted by TFL and local authority** High Pass Rate** Happy student around the country** On site free parking
