English test preparation workshops for taxi or private hire drivers

All new Buckinghamshire taxi drivers must pass a Council-approved Versant English language test or hold an equivalent level qualification to apply for a licence.

The Versant English test evaluates your ability to communicate in spoken English, in everyday situations. View this video about preparing for the Versant Test
