MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) is a nationally established training course, in which trainees must achieve a recognised standard in the law and good practice of minibus driving.

The MiDAS course is also available to external organisations.  If you require further information regarding the course, please contact the Transport Section (contact details below).  We offer a choice of accessible training (including wheelchair safety training) or standard training (non-wheelchair training).  As a trainee, you will undertake an intense training course in order to achieve a certified qualification.
