The word professional already implies that the occupant is qualified . I would say: Cab Driver Training - Your chance to become a professional cab driver . P.S., I would also change be to become because I think it sounds better.http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhereIsTheMistakePlease/2/hlphp/Post.htm#648482Wed, 25 Feb 2009 15:52:29 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:648482Clive4http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhereIsTheMistakePlease/2/hlphp/Post.htm#648482http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-648482.xmlHi, ...But on the other side why a training company would write the following it if it was completely wrong, isn&#39;t it? &quot;Cab driver training - Your chance to be a qualified professional&quot; There must be a good explanation. Let&#39;s see if anyone else could help us to understand it better. You guys are over-analysing this, in my opinion. It&#39;s just a cab-driver school. They teach driving.They are not professors of English. I&#39;m sure they didn&#39;t spend a long time debating the precise wording. They just thought &#39;qualified professional&#39; sounds like a good phrase that will make people happy to spend some money.

I asked that because I also wanted to know the answer. As I said, I was curious. But I think (not sure though) that you also have to complete all necessary requirements for you to be called &quot;A Professional&quot; Like for instance, a professor. He/She wouldn&#39;t become a professor if he/she didn&#39;t have all the requirements he/she needed (including the hard tests she had to pass)http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhereIsTheMistakePlease/hlphp/post.htm#645019Sun, 25 Jan 2009 15:52:29 GMT946f00bb-57d3-4b7b-a9a2-059b5341af52:645019Anonymous7http://www.englishforums.com/English/WhereIsTheMistakePlease/hlphp/post.htm#645019http://www.englishforums.com/English/comments12-645019.xmlHi Alda, I understand &quot; qualified &quot;as someone who fulfills some requeriments. e.g. Let&#39;s suppose I&#39;m a cab driver so, of course, I&#39;m a professional, but maybe, I don&#39;t fulfill some expected requirements. For this reason is that some companies offer special courses with the intention to qualify the professional. I don&#39;t know if my thought is clear and right. If not, so I ask you to correct the following, please: &quot; Cab driver training - Your chance to be a qualified professional &quot; (I saw this sentence while I was surfing on the internet). By the way if it&#39;s not proper to say &quot;qualified professional&quot;, so why do people often say: &quot; qualified instructors&quot;, for instance?

It was a typing mistake,sorry. A training course to be a ca d driver or for a ca d driver ? For sure it won&#39;t make him a qualified professional! Aha aha aha aha ... By the way here: &quot;Ca d Driver Training&quot; the meaning would be: a training for drivers who are cad, isn&#39;t it?

In normal language, the word &#39;cad&#39; means a dishonourable person . Are you using the word &#39;cad&#39; in some special way here, as a name or as a technical term of some kind? Or perhaps you just mean &#39;ca b &#39;, ie a taxi?
