MiDAS Training

What is MiDAS?                    
 
 
MiDAS is the Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme, which promotes a nationally recognised standard for the assessment and training of minibus drivers. It is a membership based scheme that has been designed to enhance minibus driving standards and promote the safer operation of minibuses. Sutton Community Transport insists that all drivers of its minibuses are MiDAS trained.
 
 Who is it aimed at?
 
 
MiDAS is applicable to any organisation operating or using minibuses. Member organisations range from small voluntary organisations operating one vehicle, to local authorities operating large fleets of minibuses as well as schools, colleges and universities.

The standard course has two parts, theory training which lasts for one morning and a driving assessment which can be booked with our trainer at the end of the theory course, for a time and date to suit you.
The accessible course includes the morning theory course, and continues on after a lunch break until approximately 4pm. After which you can book your driving assessment with the trainer, for a time that is suitable to you.
The driving assessment lasts for approximately one hour.
