MiDAS

MiDAS, our flagship training scheme, is the Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme, which has been the gold standard for enhancing the safety and care of passengers for 30 years. The scheme provides a nationally recognised standard for the assessment and training of drivers and passenger assistants to ensure that they have the skills and knowledge to provide safe, legal and comfortable journeys to passengers.
