    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I complete the taxi training remotely?
    Yes, the taxi entrepreneur course can be completed entirely through remote participation. This Traficom-approved training covers all required areas including establishing a taxi business, legislation, and financial management. Remote participation is ideal for those living far from the training location or preferring a flexible schedule. The content and scope are identical to in-person training.
    What does completing the courses require?
    The taxi entrepreneur course requires active participation and absorbing the taught material. The course covers commercial and financial management of a taxi business, legislation (including the Transport Services Act), taxation, accounting, employer obligations, and insurance matters. After the course, you take the taxi entrepreneur exam consisting of 50 multiple-choice questions with a pass threshold of 35/50 points. The course can be completed entirely remotely.
    When can the special groups training be completed as practical only?
    Completing only the practical section (7 hours) is sufficient in the following cases: 1. The person was granted a passenger car professional driving permit before 1.1.2010 and completed the taxi driver continuing education in 2014 and renewed the taxi driver's driving permit on this basis. 2. The person was granted a passenger car professional driving permit before 1.1.2010 and completed the continuing education in 2014 and renewed the taxi driver's driving permit on this basis, which expired on 31.12.2019. The person reapplied for the driving permit in 2021. 3. The person was granted a taxi driver's driving permit between 1.1.2010–30.6.2018 and completed the taxi driver training and corresponding exam for this purpose. In all other cases, the full special groups driver training must be completed, which includes both the theory section (14 hours) and the practical section (7 hours).
    Why should I complete the taxi entrepreneur training?

Without successfully completing the training and the taxi entrepreneur exam, it is not possible to apply for a taxi business license from Traficom or establish your own taxi company. The course provides comprehensive preparation for starting and managing a taxi business, covering topics such as: • Commercial and financial management of a taxi business • The Transport Services Act and other taxi industry legislation • Taxation, accounting, and financial management • Employer obligations, payroll, and social security • Insurance and pension matters The training is Traficom-approved and completing it is the first step towards taxi entrepreneurship.
