The knowledge test
When applying for a Hackney Carriage Drivers Badge, Private Hire Drivers Badge or Dual Badge you need to pass the knowledge test before you submit your application.
To book your place, please complete the online application (link below) and pay the fee.
Once you have submitted the form and payment, you will be emailed the following –
- Options for upcoming test dates and times so you can choose the one that suits you.
- The revision material – a Map of the Borough, the knowledge test booklet detailing any premises and locations you may be asked about in the test and a link to the councils Taxi and Private Hire policy.
Tests are held monthly. Once passed, you will be emailed a certificate and invited to complete the application forms to progress your application.
If you do not pass the test, you will need to reapply and pay the fee to be allocated another place on a future test.
