Badge Overview
The Knowsley Council Private Hire Badge allows you to work as a licensed taxi driver with Uber and other platforms across Manchester, Liverpool, Birmingham, and surrounding areas. Here's what the process involves.
Complete your qualification with our 1-day assessment at our Stockport office. Includes study materials, paper-based MCQ exam, and guaranteed pass or full refund.
A valid Enhanced DBS check is required before badge approval. We handle the full DBS application process so you can focus on your training.
A medical fitness certificate is required by Knowsley Council. We arrange your medical examination and ensure all documentation is properly completed.
We manage the full Knowsley council badge submission on your behalf, including all required forms, documentation, and follow-up with the council.

How It Works
Start by selecting the package that suits you best — the 1-day BTEC assessment package or the VIP complete badge application package with full done-for-you support.
Provide your photo ID, valid UK driving licence, proof of address, medical records, and any required council forms so we can prepare your Knowsley application without delays.
Visit our Stockport office for your BTEC Level 2 / VRQ 1-day assessment, complete the paper-based MCQ exam, and receive full study materials with guaranteed pass support.
Once your training is complete, we help manage the DBS, medical, and full Knowsley council badge submission, with approvals typically completed within 3–4 months.

Knowsley was the fastest route by miles. Passed the BTEC first time thanks to the study materials. Badge arrived quickly and I was on the road within weeks. Couldn't recommend more.
