Taxi entrepreneur exam: 50 questions, 120 minutes and entrepreneur training first
The taxi transport entrepreneur exam has 50 questions and at most 120 minutes. To pass, you need 38 correct answers and the minimum number from each of the six topics. You can take the exam only after the entrepreneur training.
Note: The taxi driver exam is held only in Finnish or Swedish (Traficom regulation, section 3), with no interpreter or dictionary allowed.
Structure of the exam
The entrepreneur exam is taken in the same way as the driver exam: as a digital theory exam at a service point of Traficom's service provider. The Finnish Transport and Communications Agency is responsible for organising the exam. The law requires that the exam participant has taken part in the entrepreneur training, and according to the Traficom regulation the training must have been completed in accordance with the regulation. The exam can contain multiple-choice tasks and case-based tasks.
| Topic | Questions | Min. correct |
|---|---|---|
| Commercial and financial management of a taxi company | 10 | 8 |
| Vehicle and transport legislation related to taxi entrepreneurship | 8 | 6 |
| Tax legislation | 8 | 6 |
| Accounting legislation | 8 | 6 |
| Employment legislation | 10 | 8 |
| Insurance legislation | 6 | 4 |
| Whole exam | 50 | 38 |
As in the driver exam, the topic-specific minimum applies to every topic: if even one stays below the limit, the whole exam is failed.
What this means for you
- If you plan to become an entrepreneur, complete the entrepreneur training before the exam. Without it you cannot take the exam.
- You have 120 minutes for 50 questions. In the exam you may use the calculator and notes application offered by the service point.
- There are 26 tax, accounting and employment questions in total, which is over half of the exam. Reserve the most preparation time for them.
- If you have dyslexia or another health-related reason, the exam can be taken orally with extra time. In the entrepreneur exam this is 240 minutes.
