MiDAS Training
Upskill your volunteers and reduce driver costs to zero with the gold standard in Minibus Training.
MiDAS minibus driver training improves your volunteers’ driving skills and confidence. It makes them a safer driver 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. It offers you what you need to meet your Health & Safety, and legal responsibilities, and is widely used across the UK.
