TfL English test (B1)
Speak out loud before the real test
The real test is a conversation with an examiner by secure video or telephone link at a TfL Driver Assessment Centre. Our AI examiner takes you through the same kinds of parts: questions about you, two short role-plays, a planning task with pictures, a listening task and a short talk. Your feedback is estimated and shows what to fix first.
One pass. Everything open.
Full SERU bank, all 10 mocks and English speaking practice. From £7.99 for 7 days. No automatic renewal.

Questions
What is SERU?
SERU is the Safety, Equality and Regulatory Understanding assessment. TfL uses it to check that London private hire drivers understand safety, equality and the rules for their work. It is based on the PHV Driver’s Handbook.
Do I have to pass SERU and the English test?
TfL says that anyone who applied for a new private hire driver licence on or after 1 April 2023 must pass the English speaking and listening test and SERU before they are licensed. Check TfL for your own situation.
Are these questions from the real test?
No. We write our own practice questions from the public PHV Driver’s Handbook. They are not real SERU questions, and we are not part of TfL, PeopleCert or LanguageCert.
Is the free mock really free?
Yes. SERU Mock 1 is a full timed practice mock with a score, and the TfL English free mock is one complete speaking and listening set. You do not need to sign up for either.
Can I read the explanations in my language?
Yes. Every SERU explanation is in English, Urdu, Bengali, Arabic and Romanian. The SERU assessment itself is in English.
How much does a pass cost?
7 days £7.99, 30 days £14.99, 90 days £24.99. One pass opens everything. There is no automatic renewal.
