To become a chauffeur, the most important requirement is a good driving history. It is also a bonus if you enjoy driving and interacting with people. You will also require a drivers accreditation, for which it is necessary to successfully complete a training course. The basic steps to becoming a chauffeur are relatively simple. There are many courses for both beginners as well as advanced drivers. Most courses can be tailored to your requirement. You will then need to complete an accreditation application. You will also need to go in for a medical and eyesight test (certification) and you will also need a National Police Certificate. At the end of the training there will be a final assessment and driver accreditation.
There may have been a time when all it needed to become a chauffeur was a pair of fur gloves and unlimited swank, but today, chauffeurs undergo rigorous training in protocol, diplomacy and vehicle maintenance. They also take specialized courses in anti hi-jack and advanced skid control measures.
