HOW TO GET THERE
Typical pathway
A typical pathway starts with high school courses like English, math, and mechanics, which can help build communication, planning, and basic vehicle knowledge. Many people then gain a valid driver’s licence and clean driving habits, often with experience driving safely in different weather and traffic conditions. Some employers may prefer previous customer service or driving experience, such as delivery work, personal assistant duties, or taxi or limousine work. On the job, chauffeurs learn to follow schedules, handle errands, keep the vehicle clean, and provide courteous service. Requirements can vary by employer, province, and the type of vehicle or client.
