Minibus Driver Training
Fully Accredited School Minibus Driver Training
Castle’s minibus driver training for schools and colleges is unique. Built around your school’s needs, your staff are trained for their D1 minibus licence, and MiDAS assessments are carried out. This makes Castle Minibus’ driver training cost-effective and convenient.
- Fully accredited school minibus training throughout the UK.
- Specialist minibus training is conducted at your school not in a remote location. Your minibus drivers learn in the area where they will be driving.
- Where possible, your minibus is used for the D1 and MiDAS training. This ensures your drivers learn in the vehicle they will actually use.
- Castle arranges everything for your D1 minibus licence: the medical, the theory and practical tests as well as the comprehensive minibus training programme.
- Your school minibus driver training is conducted when you want it - in holidays or term time – the choice is yours.
- Castle works in association with Beacon Driving Training. All the minibus driving instructors are highly trained and have fleet training accreditation from the Driving Standards Agency and ORDIT.
- More than one minibus driver? Fleet training means you can train several people at the same time, saving you money.
Duty of Care in Schools – MiDAS Minibus Assessment
Pupil safety is of paramount importance. Anyone who passed their driving test before January 1997 already has the D1 minibus classification on their license. However, most of these drivers have no experience of driving a minibus.
Reassure parents and bring certified safety to your school journeys with Castle’s MiDAS minibus assessment. The Minibus Drivers Assessment Scheme provides nationally recognised minibus driver training to ensure the safe operation of passenger carrying vehicles. MiDAS is not a replacement for the D1 minibus licence, but it ensures your school minibus drivers are properly trained for the responsible driving of pupils.
Castle Minibus provides both D1 Licence Training and MiDAS Minibus Assessments.
