Re: Hyndburn Private Hire Licensed Drivers Required

just out of interest (whilst i'm outta work and considering 'owt) what's involved in acquiring a private hire license? is it a quick and easy and cheap process provided you are of sound mind and intelligence with no criminal record?

Re: Hyndburn Private Hire Licensed Drivers Required

The Council's licensing department is based at Cannon St. Most people will probably know it as the Environmental Health Office. There's also quite a bit of useful information on licensing on the Council's website.The Council licensing committee deals with private hire applications,amongst other things.

Re: Hyndburn Private Hire Licensed Drivers Required

thanks for the replies so far

on a brief look into it I came up with;

1. fill in application form at above mentioned office to apply for license. If succesful applicant is granted a badge initially fo r6 months but extended to 12 month upon completion of ...
2. a college course of 25 hours in 10 weekly 2.5 hour sessions to equip driver with knowledge of H&S, disabled customers, smackheads, canheads, potheads and dick'eds
3. complete 'The Knowledge' whereby applicants must be able to demonstrate they know the quickest route to 12 out of 15 Hyndburn landmarks from a set starting point.

the license itself costs either £57 or £67 and the Area Knowledge Test cost £20.50 - I can't find info on the 10 week course other than AccRoss run it. You'd also have to pay £36 for a CRB check.

Fair enough you'll get difficult customers (as in most face to face jobs) but for a little over £100 you can grab yourself a job where you get to sit on yer bum all day! I don't know whether or not they are lucrative but it seems a good deal to me!

Re: Hyndburn Private Hire Licensed Drivers Required

dont wory about having a criminal record a quick search on here alone came up with 2 sex offenders and 1 person convicted of assault been given licences to transport the public in hyndburn.Its a pitty accy obserbver dosnt keep records as good as accyweb as their link to the story now directs you to the manchester evening news page not found

http://www.accringtonobserver.co.uk/..._licence_.html

if you dont get your licence with a clean record i would be asking why not when criminals can

good luck if you decide to take it up
