Introduction I would like to introduce “The Taxi Academy” as a Leading Specialist Training provider for the taxi knowledge test. We specialize to train people as Taxi Driver. Working in partnership with various fund providers allows us to claim funds on behalf of our clients, train them up and to put them into work. Strategically this enables us to put an unemployed person into employment and take him off the benefit system hence creating a guaranteed prospective job output for him/her. We have been working as an affiliate with Serco in Manchester. Beside Serco we have been creating outputs for DWP, JCP, Skill Solutions, Working Links, A4E and Remploy. ESF, ERDF, Manchester University, DWP and JCP allow us to approach their advisor discretionary funds or directly bid on Proc Serve to get their output from us. “Taxi Academy” is a “Start to Finish” solution for Unemployed, Career changers, Redundant or any sort of people like to train them self in to a new and reliable career. Our course is with guaranteed outcome of “Creating a Self Employed Business”. For the purpose, we not only train but also provide fully plated taxi vehicles, comprehensive insurances, and priority breakdown and maintenance services. We suggest that you should look at our sustainability option plan. (further Support for clients/income streams) Geography and Community Representations Taxi academy is a leading training provider for Private Hire and Hackney Carriage Taxi Badges, with guaranteed job outcome objectives. We are an established training provider in Greater Manchester, Some parts of Lancashire and West Midlands. Taxi Academy has branched out West Midlands due to increased demand. People from these regions are struggling to pass their, high standard tests set by respective local councils. We have provided training for over 1000 Taxi drivers to pass their Taxi Knowledge test. Job output is guaranteed as we train them to pass and when they pass, we help them to start their working life, as they would be working as self-employed business. For the purpose we provide them plated taxi vehicles, fully comprehensive insurance that is a nightmare for new taxi drivers, arrange taxi bases for them. We only recommend our trainees which taxi base is suit able for them, joining that base is on their own discretion, this is how we keep our own impartiality. As they are newly setup business we arrange accountants for them, help them to register with HMRC and virtually anything they need to start work. This way we achieve our guaranteed job outcome goal. In last five years time Taxi Academy has dealt with a variety of people from different sectors of society i.e. fresh college leavers, carrier change, British Ethnic Minority, Disabled People, Learning Difficulties, Dyslexics’ and other groups of community etc. Track Record / Award Winnings When the company started, around five years ago, it was incubated in the University of Manchester Incubation Centre at One Central Park, with the support of Dr Kurt-All-man and Prof David Auckland. As part of the support Taxi Academy received from the university start up programme, Taxi academy had to return outputs. Taxi Academy contributed 90 new jobs and £900,000 in turnover. Taxi Academy is one of HSBC’s Starts up Stars 2008, has won funding from the Gatsby Trust (funded by Lord Sainsbury), and is currently nominated for the Sun/Barclay’s Best Local Business Awards 2010. There has been considerable media interest in the business from the Manchester Evening News, BBC TV, BBC Radio Manchester, and Five Live. We have just become part of the SMARTA 100 top innovation companies with in the UK. Programme Delivery No. of lessons learners required are based on the learners Individual Learning Plans but on average we offer on average 10 -16 lessons over a 4 to 8 weeks period depending on the complexity of the council’s testing regime, 84% of our learners achieve a first time pass and if for some reasons if they cannot pass the test standards we then provide them again a full review to determine a) Why they failed? b) What caused them to fail? c) What can help them to pass? d) How can they overcome their weakness? e) What areas of their Learning need improving? Once determined above reasons we start training learners again at no cost to them. Let me mention again we are a “Start to Finish Solution” and we try our best to create these outputs by helping and doing anything we can do for our learners. Taxi Academy has created the syllabus for The knowledge test covering, Greater Manchester Councils and West Midlands Councils. Our effective overall pass rate is 97%, remaining 3% is those who cannot get through, and they leave the course in middle because of their own personal reasons. Here Taxi Academy again tries its best to help our learners as we deal with a lot of British Minority Ethnics, who sometimes deal with English language issues, to get them through we have dealt it by contracting out with some of our affiliate colleges who can provide them training in English language. This is just a simple effort we do to get our outputs achieved. We hope the above explains what “Taxi Academy” can do for achieving these new businesses created and employment output targets.
