The MiDAS Scheme
MiDAS is the 'Minibus Driver Training & Assessment Scheme' which is run by the Community Transport Association (CTA). MiDAS promotes a nationally recognised standard for the assessment and training of minibus drivers.
This membership-based scheme is designed to enhance minibus driving standards and promote the safer operation of minibuses.
The course consists of an e-learning theory based module and then a 1.5hr (per driver) 'enhanced driver assessment' conducted at your premises.
DAPSS Assessments
DAPSS offers a face-to-face CPD Accredited Minibus Training and Assessment course.
Similar to MiDAS in terms of content covered, but with a theory session delivered by an industry expert. Your drivers can actively discuss what's covered, to confirm they've fully understood the information.
After the theory session, drivers receive a 1hr driving assessment. We'll send you a report and certification after the course.
