MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) is an award winning, nationally recognised standard for minibus driver training.
It is for those who drive a minibus on a voluntary, not-for-profit basis or as an occasional user.
Our clients attend an interactive session covering legal responsibilities, defensive driving, breakdown procedures and passenger safety. This is followed by an on-road driving assessment with personal feedback so that you are fully prepared for the MiDAS Minibus test.
What are the benefits of MiDAS Minibus test training?
- The Department of Education and Department for Transport highly recommend that all minibus drivers complete this training scheme to improve road safety.
- Some insurance companies may offer lower premiums on completion of this training as they can see the benefit.
- Drivers gain more valuable experience and feel more confident in driving minibuses and will become more competent.
Additional benefits;
In addition to the basic MiDAS standard, the course includes both the theory and practical sessions. These include advanced driving techniques to enhance the MiDAS ideals of Safe, Smooth and Economical driving.

What does the MiDAS Minibus test training course cover?
Our MiDAS course training is delivered in three parts;
- The first part comprises of an interactive classroom session. This covers legal responsibilities, defensive driving, breakdown procedures and passenger safety.
- The second part comprises of a multiple choice theory assessment.
- The third comprises of a practical driving assessment. This is made up of at least 30 minutes with the trainer and this is usually referred to as the MiDAS Minibus Test.
Standard MiDAS training usually takes 4–5 hours to complete, with a maximum of four learners. This allows us enough time to be able to complete the practical assessments in one day and to learn from any feedback.
Vehicles available for MiDAS Training
If a visit to your site is required to carry out the training and you do not have your own minibus for use, we can provide a minibus for an additional charge.
Sirens Driving Academy has training facilities at its sites in Watford, Aylesbury and Denham if you prefer to travel to us.
MiDAS refresher course
A MiDAS certificate lasts for four years; however, we can deliver the MiDAS refresher course to inform learners of any new information and changes in legislation and refresh driving skills.
