New training academy for taxi drivers set to open in Bradford

A TRAINING academy for taxi drivers is set to open in Bradford later this month, encouraging more people to take up the trade.

Power Carz Training Academy is for those who are "interested in becoming a taxi driver, but don't know the next step", says business development consultant Jerome James.

All training will be provided free of charge, Jerome adds, and topics covered will include customer service, health and safety, transporting of children and young people and routes and fares, amongst others.

"We'll be helping drivers through those stages of anxiety to create and support the next generation of taxi drivers", says Jerome.

"The course will be delivered over roughly four weeks, and will take place in the boardroom of our new offices."

For more information, email Powercarz1@yahoo.co.uk.

Advertorial like this, which is effectively recruitment advertising, is one thing, but on first read the piece makes it look like it's some kind of third-party organisation offering free training.

But the email address at the end is the giveaway, and a quick Google confirms that Power Carz is a PH firm, and according to its website claims to have 'Bradford's largest fleet'

I wonder how many will take the free training and then leave

The first module, on the first day of training, ought to be a spelling test.

CARS, not carz.

No the first module will be how to find the payment office.

At a rough guess I suspect they'll have to sign a contract for a minimum commitment period to the firm, or they have to stump up the course fee

but after that
