O exame SERU para motoristas PHV em Londres, em português
O SERU é o exame em computador que a TfL exige a quem pede a licença de motorista PHV (aluguer privado) em Londres. As perguntas são em inglês, nível B1, de escolha múltipla e de completar frases, e baseiam-se no PHV Driver's Handbook. Antes do exame é preciso fazer o curso online Safeguarding Awareness.
O nosso curso ajuda a perceber: pode ler a explicação de cada pergunta em português. É tradução automática e está assinalada como tal; o texto em inglês é a referência, porque no exame verá inglês.
