Huddersfield Firm ESTL Meets Call For Taxi Driver Courses Aug 4 2009 A company in Huddersfield has been hailed for its taxi driver training courses. Now ESTL, based at Folly Hall Mills, is extending its training scheme throughout the UK after successfully running it across Kirklees. ESTL has successfully trained thousands of drivers in Yorkshire to achieve Level 2 NVQ certificates in Road Passenger Vehicle Driving. Now it is rolling out Level 2 BTEC Awards in Transporting Passengers by Taxi & Private Hire. Many local authorities in the UK now regard these qualifications as mandatory for taxi and private hire drivers. Nicole Armstrong, senior programme recruiter of ESTL, said: "This qualification is available now and can be delivered at national venues to suit the drivers. "We have worked with the taxi and private hire industry during the past two years and have delivered thousands of similar awards." She said: "Our trainers and assessors are qualified, professional and friendly and all have current experience of the Level 2 BTEC courses." The BTEC course consists of two to three days of classroom training, which includes practice assessments, tutor support and online assessment. It covers areas including customer service, equality and diversity, passenger transport and disability awareness, transporting passengers safely, carrying luggage and parcels, map reading and route planning and taxi and private hire regulations. ESTL first launched its driver NVQ programme – which was endorsed by Go Skills – 18 months ago. This programme was fully funded by the Learning and Skills Council for Yorkshire and Humber, under its Train to Gain initiative. Clr Christine Iredale, who chairs the licensing committee of Kirklees Council, praised ESTL’s role in training and assessing taxi and private hire drivers. She said: "Many congratulations are due to the taxi drivers themselves for their excellent achievement and to ESTL for training and assessing them so well. At Kirklees, we are proud to be a forward-thinking authority committed to the safety of the public and the drivers alike. "We are also proud of our relationship with ESTL." Said Nicole: "We were really thrilled by the success of our first training programme for taxi drivers and are now looking forward to recruiting more drivers to improve their skills."

Another sub-standard test with questions that won't test a backward dog. If the drivers don't pass this can't fail test they need their badges taking off them for being to thick. I'm waiting for the funding to run out then the brown stuff will hit the fan. |

What is a dormant limited company? print e-mail What is a dormant limited company? A dormant company is one that doesn’t trade and has no accounting transactions. Small companies may choose to buy a dormant company to protect the name, or for other reasons. Trading companies may also elect to become dormant if they cease trading and may wish to trade again in the future. Why would you need a dormant company? There are several reasons why small business people may use a dormant company. 1. Protection – You may have a trademark or brand name you wish to protect. Securing a dormant company of “brand name limited” will prevent competitors from using the same brand name for unscrupulous reasons. 2. Future Proofing – You may not yet be ready to push ahead with a new project. By securing a dormant company, you can help prepare in advance for the future. How long can a company remain dormant? There is no time limit for keeping a company in a dormant status. However, the directors of dormant companies must still perform some administrative duties each year, as explained below: |

There are basically two ways of becoming a limited company. 1. make up a name and registering it... that is unless it already exists. to someone else. 2. purchase a company off-the-shelf.. a dormant company.. a company that has already been trading and has been passed back in... if anybody checks the accounts out on this company they best make sure it has the right directors .... people usually purchase this type of company for speed in setting up.
