Course questions
Frequently asked questions about the Finnish taxi-driver course
What topics should I study for Finland’s taxi-driver exam?⌄
The published competence framework covers passenger safety and passenger functional limitations. Relevant knowledge includes taxi rules, driver responsibility, safe driving, fares, first response, professional interaction, assistance needs, mobility aids and special-group transport.
Is Taxi Akatemia an official Traficom or Ajovarma course?⌄
No. Taxi Akatemia is an independent preparation platform. It uses publicly available requirements to organize study material but is not an authority service and does not publish official exam questions.
Does this course replace the mandatory 21-hour taxi-driver training?⌄
Do not assume that it does. Traficom states that new drivers must complete 21 hours of mandatory training before the examination from 1 November 2026. Confirm approved providers, transition rules and your personal requirements directly with Traficom.
Can I study the Finnish taxi course in English or Swedish?⌄
Yes. Taxi Akatemia supports study in Finnish, English and Swedish. The official taxi-driver examination is currently taken in Finnish or Swedish, so English is used as a study and support language.
Are the practice and mock-exam questions official?⌄
No. They are independently created study materials designed to cover relevant subject areas. They are not copied, verified or published official examination questions.
How should I use the course before my exam?⌄
Start with focused lessons, practise each topic, review incorrect answers and use readiness feedback to revisit weaker areas. Gradually practise more in your chosen Finnish or Swedish exam language.
