About Glasgow Training Academy
Glasgow Training Academy (GTA) is a specialist taxi and private hire training provider serving Scotland and beyond. We build and deliver accredited training for the licensed taxi and private hire industry, working closely with licensing authorities and awarding organisations.
Our courses are hosted on a dedicated Moodle-based learning platform and are designed by people who understand the regulatory landscape — not just the technology. We work directly with licensing authorities, awarding organisations, and industry partners to keep everything current, compliant, and genuinely useful.
We're small by design. That means you get direct access to the people who actually build and run the courses — not a helpdesk queue.
