Passenger Service Qualifications Review
The qualifications for bus and taxi drivers have been reviewed by industry advisory groups (IAGs). To see who was involved click here.
We are now seeking feedback and endorsement from the wider passenger service industry.
In this review the IAGs decided to:
- simplify the structure of both qualifications
- place a greater emphasis on fuel efficiency, technical skills, and customer service
- develop new specialist unit standards.
Please read the proposed qualifications and unit standards and complete the questionnaire.
