QuestionView source ↗
I refer to Nationally Accredited taxi driver training courses, being a requirement by the Department of Transport in order to be a registered taxi driver, and I ask -
(1) Is the Minister aware that participants who attend and pass a Nationally Accredited taxi driver training Course, at a Registered Training Provider (RTP), are not being accepted by Swan Taxis unless the participant has done the training through Swan Taxis RTP, Transport and Communications Training Academy of Western Australia?
(2) Is the Minister aware, that these participants are required to pay a further $700, for a three day course comprising units from the Nationally Accredited course?

The complaint raised other concerns which have been referred to the Minister for Transport for his attention.
