B1 English For Private Hire Drivers

Description

Introduction

Why do you need B1 English certificate?

An English language requirement (B1) will apply to ALL applications for private hire drivers licences received by TfL on, or after, 14 October 2016. This includes applications for both renewal and new licences.

From 14 October 2016

A transitional process will apply to all licence applications received by TfL on or after 14 October 2016: the licence holder must satisfy TfL that they have met the English language requirement by no later than 31 March 2017. Any licence holder that fails to do this may face licensing action

From 1 April 2017

On or after 1 April 2017, all applicants must provide evidence that they meet the English language requirement as part of their application before a licence will be issued.

Trinity College London has been confirmed as one of approved interim English language test providers. Trinity’s ISE I qualification (B1) will be accepted by TfL. It provides a B1 level of proficiency in speaking, listening, reading and writing English

    1. Applicants may satisfy TfL of their ability to meet the requirement by providing:
      A certificate from one of TfL’s secure English language test providers confirming that the applicant’s level of proficiency in the English language is at level B1 on the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages: (“CEFR”) or above;

Or

  1. Documentary evidence of a qualification (whether or not the qualification was obtained in the United Kingdom) on the basis of which TfL is satisfied that the applicant’s level of proficiency in the English language is equivalent to level B1 on the CEFR or above.
