MiDAS Training

We are members of the Community Transport Association who coordinate MiDAS – the Minibus Drivers Awareness Scheme.  This is a nationally recognised scheme aimed at achieving a common, country-wide standard for minibus drivers.

Ilkley Community Transport has an approved driver assessor/trainer so all training can be done locally.

What’s Involved?

• An online theory session covering:
  • Driving technique
  • Minibuses and the law
  • Passenger care
  • General good practice
  • A driving assessment on one of our minibuses.
• In addition to the basic theory and assessment we can also offer further training for the use of ‘Fully Accessible’ minibuses (those equipped to carry wheelchair passengers and people requiring the passenger lift).
• We can also provide additional “on road” training if required.
• Training sessions can be arranged in or out of normal working hours and during weekends.
