Minibus driver training
MiDAS
MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) is organised by the
Community Transport Association U.K. (CTA) 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.
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.
MiDAS training covers:
- Legal Responsibilities of a Minibus Driver
- Passenger Safety
- Child Passenger Safety
- Defensive Driving
- Manual Handling Awareness
- Health & Safety Awareness
- Accident & Emergency Procedures
- Personal Safety for Drivers
Drivers who successfully complete the MiDAS assessment and
training programme will receive a nationally recognised certificate
valid for four years and the opportunity to drive all HCT vehicles
within the brokerage for their community group (or as a volunteer
for Harlow CT)
