Our driver training short courses are designed to support individuals and organisations in developing the skills, knowledge, and confidence needed to transport passengers safely and responsibly. With increasing emphasis on road safety, legal compliance, and duty of care, high-quality driver training is essential for anyone working or volunteering in roles involving passenger transport. 

We offer a range of recognised short courses, including the nationally accredited MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme). MiDAS is widely recognised across the UK and is the standard for organisations operating minibuses, helping drivers meet legal requirements while promoting safe driving practices. The scheme covers both theory and practical elements, including vehicle safety checks, disability awareness, passenger care, and on-road driving assessment. 

Our courses are suitable for both new and experienced drivers, including those working in education, community groups, local authorities, and voluntary organisations. Whether you need to gain your initial MiDAS certification or complete refresher training, our programmes provide practical, up-to-date guidance aligned with current legislation and best practice. 

Training is delivered by experienced instructors in a supportive environment, ensuring learners leave with the confidence to operate vehicles safely and professionally. Depending on your needs, courses can be completed at our college sites or delivered on-site for organisations requiring group training. 

By completing our driver training courses, you will gain valuable skills that enhance safety, improve compliance, and support your role in providing reliable passenger transport.
