Topographical Skills Testing
We run Topographical Skills Tests on
several days each month - these include weekends and evenings so there
should be a time to suit you whatever your schedule. You can book
your test by calling us on 0208 290 0123 anytime (24hrs service).
The cost of a test is £40.00 + VAT which must be paid in advance. If you
subsequently join ACX Express as a driver, this is refunded in full.
A typical test will take between 45 minutes and 90 minutes to complete.
Our Location
You will find us
at 6 East Street Bromley Kent BR1 1QX – in the centre of Bromley. There
is on street car parking available nearby (pay and display) and two public
car parks within a short walk.
About the Test:
The test is
conducted on a one-to-one basis with an examiner. We aim to make the
atmosphere informal and relaxed. The Examiner will ask you a number of
questions and set you a number of route-planning tasks during the test.
Please be aware that you are not required to answer
every question correctly: The examiner will however, be able to
assess from your answers whether or not you have the topographical and
route-planning skills necessary to become a successful licensed private
hire driver. You will be provided with access to a number of maps in
order to carry out the route-planning tasks.

and knowledge required by clicking here.
After the Test:
When you have
completed the Test you will be invited to complete a short questionnaire
that will assist us and the Public Carriage Office in planning future test
procedures. If you have met the required standard you will be issued with
you pass certificate. If you have not met the required standard you will
be given a ‘fail sheet’ which will give details of the areas where you
have not met the required standard.
