High School
Taxi drivers do not usually need to meet any particular educational requirements, but a high school education will help you adequately handle the record-keeping part of the job. Also take courses in driver education, business math, and English.
Postsecondary Training
The primary form of postsecondary education is a period of on-the-job training provided to new drivers by most taxi companies, which is required by law in some jurisdictions. Training includes how to operate the taximeter and other communication equipment, how to complete required paper work, driver safety, and customer service. Training may also cover the safe, non-emergency transport of elderly or disabled passengers. Additionally, the Transportation Alliance offers online training courses for taxi drivers.
