Starting a career as a licensed private hire driver? You’ve likely heard about the mandatory assessments you need to pass. Understanding what these tests are and why they are required is the first step toward a successful journey. This guide will walk you through the key assessments and explain how we can help you prepare.
What is the SERU Assessment?
The Safety, Equality and Regulatory Understanding (SERU) assessment is a core requirement for all licensed drivers. It’s a test designed to ensure you have a solid grasp of the rules and best practices needed to operate professionally and safely. The SERU assessment covers a range of critical topics, including:
- Road safety and driving regulations
- Ensuring passenger and personal safety
- Upholding equality, diversity, and high customer service standards
- Understanding regulatory requirements and licensing conditions
Passing this test demonstrates your commitment to a high standard of service and your ability to operate responsibly, which is essential for public trust and safety.
