employment

The taxi driver profession is suitable for people of all ages with a driver’s license. There is always a need for permanent drivers, but part-time work is also a good option i.e. alongside studying or another job as a source of additional income.

We are happy to assist you in finding a job after your training.

Taxidata’s new driver training

The training is conducted as classroom teaching in the evenings in Turku, at Bilmarkinkatu 1, Turku.

The training includes:

  • Basic knowledge of the industry, laws and regulations
  • Taxi industry practices, different types of transportation and payment methods
  • Professional customer service
  • Driver training for special groups
  • Local knowledge of the surrounding area
  • Taxi equipment

Upon successful completion of the entire course and related exams, we will issue you with a Taxidata ID card (driver card) and you will be able to work for Taxidata’s partner companies. Any sections you may have missed can be completed during the next basic course.

Driver training for special groups

Successful completion of driver training for special groups is mandatory for transport services paid for by Kela and the Varsinais-Suomi welfare region (Varha). Taxidata regularly organizes this training as part of the basic course for new drivers.

The duration of the training for each participant depends on the date their first taxi driver’s license was issued.

  • Driver training for special groups, 21 hours

When the first taxi driver’s license was issued after July 1, 2018

  • Driver training for special groups, 7 hours

When the first taxi driver’s license was issued before July 1, 2018
