MiDAS Training
Upskill your volunteers and reduce driver costs to zero with the gold standard in Minibus Training.
MiDAS minibus driver training not only improves your volunteers’ driving skills and confidence. It makes them a safer driver all round and allows them to drive Westway CT minibuses, saving you time and money.
MiDAS is the nationally recognised assessment and training scheme for minibus drivers which offers you all you need to meet your Health & Safety and legal responsibilities and is widely used across the UK.
Plus MiDAS trained drivers can help you reduce hire costs with us. And our Member’s Support Fund can cut your costs even further.
We can deliver courses at our site in London or we can come to you.
MiDAS Courses
- The MiDAS Standard includes a half-day classroom theory session and then a driving assessment that is usually booked to take place on a separate day.
- The MiDAS Accessible is a one-day course classroom session, followed by an evaluation of your skills to secure a wheelchair into a minibus and assist someone with mobility difficulties.
For our MiDas courses, you can see the dates of our next courses by clicking here. For our other courses, please contact our training department to enquire.

MiDAS Courses are valid for four years before needing to be renewed.
