My name is Jonathan Aruldoss. Yes it is a great achievement for a person
like me, working full time for Tesco stores and less familiar with routes
in and around Manchester. Even though I passed only on the third attempt, I
must admit the Taxi academy had played a big role in my success. My sincere
thanks to the founders of the academy. I am positive that the academy is
going to deliver more successful people in the future.

Done the full course, found it great help. When I first came in I didn't know anywhere. Now I
have passed the Hackney Knowledge Test first time and am earning great money.

When I first came for taxi lessons I knew nothing (ie Water St, Town), but with hard work, excellent teaching showing me how to learn and, also telling me I could do it all the time (especially from Shaf & Abdul), I have passed my Private Hire test and am waiting to take my Hackney test.
I would say to anyone wanting to pass a test you must come for lessons, as I would never have passed without them. Also I have made new friends who have all helped each other out.

Testimonial from the Taxi Owners & Drivers Association (City of Manchester)
The Taxi Academy is the first independent training facility for Taxi Drivers in the City of Manchester. It aims to equip the next generation of taxi drivers with the Skills required to transport the general public in a professional and efficient manner.
As with all modern professions, the public demand more of their Taxi service. For instance they expect drivers to be knowledgeable and courteous. The City Council is reinforcing this by improving the Hackney Carriage and Private Hire driver exams. This has led to the need for Specialist Taxi Driver Training and Support from establishments like the Taxi Academy.
In our experience, The Taxi Academy is a first class establishment that provides quality training for tomorrows Taxi Drivers.

I attended an 8 week course at the Taxi Academy to help me gain my Private Hire Badge.
It was very helpful because they broke down everything I needed to know into easy to manage sections. If you want your Private Hire or Hackney badge then the Academy is the way to go.

I passed my test first time, I am now a Hackney Driver, I just didn't know where to start with my preperation for my test. Paying money to the Taxi Academy could be the best money i have ever spent, everything was a lot easier to understand with Abdul's(Tutor) help. It is just too hard to try and learn with just the revision guide. If you want to pass your test first time, go to the Taxi Academy!

Alhamdulillah, I have passed my Hackney Test. Before starting at Taxi Academy, I knew nothing about Manchester. I was always encouraged by Shaf and Abdul. By the grace of ALLAH and with the help of Shaf and Abdul, I managed to learn almost the whole of Manchester City. I would strongly advise taking lessons at Taxi Academy, it is more than enough to pass your test.

My name is Liaqat Ali, i heard about the Taxi Academy on the radio and decided to join. When i was in my first lesson and seen the work to do, i thought, 'This is nothing, it will be easy', but it was hard. The learning technique at the Taxi Academy is very good, step by step, i have learned everything. All thanks to the Taxi Academy.

I joined the Taxi Academy to do Private Hire, but with Mr.Shafiq's inspiration, i changed my application from Private Hire to Hackney. When i started, i did not know anything, even where Deansgate was. I attended the class regularly, and i have passed my Hackney test very easily, although it's only been 3 years now since i came from Bangladesh. I would like to give special thanks to Abdul and Shafiq with their help and inspiration i have got my Hackney badge first time.

I would like to say a huge thank you to all the staff at the academy for helping me pass my knowledge test. Everybody is really helpful and they provided me with all the support i needed to pass my test. The classes are really good, because you are attending with other people in the same boat as you, and this provides good encouragement aswell, because you never feel as though your on your own! Lastly, i'd like to say a big thank you to Zid(Zahid) as he helped me a great deal and has the patience of a saint!
