Taxi Staffing Service . Melbourne Taxi Service . Cabways

Taxi Staffing Service is an accredited training school, located close to public transport in Richmond. Our experienced management team will guide you through the 115 hour course (approximately 9 days), and help you to get the experience you need to have you out and working as soon as you've finished. Upon successful completion of the course we can even supply you with a taxi to drive.

You will receive direct access to operating taxis, see how a working depot operates and experience the industry in a
"hands on" fashion. Experience all of this in a well equipped training facility in the largest depot in Melbourne.

Not all of our course is in the classroom. We will take you driving through Melbourne's streets as well as Melbourne Airport
to ensure you are familiar with the road conditions and can navigate your way through Melbourne's suburbs.
We understand it can be a bit confusing, so with our guidance we are hoping to make it less challenging for beginners.
