SERU Mock Test Sample

About the SERU assessment


The sample above uses the two question styles TfL uses in the real Safety, Equality and Regulatory Understanding (SERU) assessment: multiple choice questions and sentences you complete by adding the missing words. The real assessment is computer-based and taken at TfL offices, and it has applied to both new private hire driver applicants and licence renewals since 1 October 2021.

TfL bases the questions on the PHV Driver's Handbook, covering driver licensing, private hire vehicle requirements, passenger and driver safety, disability equality and safeguarding. Our SERU assessment guide explains what to expect on the day, and SERU training gives you the full question bank with timed, exam-style mocks.
