Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to get a PCO licence?

The typical timeline is 8–12 weeks from start to finish. This depends on how quickly you can complete the required tests and assessments, and TfL processing times.

Do I need to pass all tests before applying?

You can start the application process before completing all tests, but you must pass the theory, topographical, and practical assessments before TfL will issue your licence.

What is the topographical test?

The topographical test assesses your knowledge of London's geography, including major roads, landmarks, and routes. It's a requirement for all PCO licence applicants.
