MiDAS Training Centre
As a trusted Community Transport provider, Community First is proud to be recognised as an accredited MiDAS Training Centre supporting safe, confident, and competent minibus driving across the sector.
Our MiDAS Driver Assessors deliver the practical, on-road component of the Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme (MiDAS) the nationally recognised standard for individuals required to drive a minibus. They conduct essential driving assessments, carry out licence and eligibility checks, provide constructive feedback, and offer tailored guidance to help improve driving confidence and safety. Ultimately, they assess whether candidates meet the criteria to achieve MiDAS certification.
As one of only a select number of centres across the UK, our Training Centre is also authorised to train and certify new MiDAS Driver Assessors, in addition to delivering refresher training to ensure existing certifications remain valid and up to date.
We currently offer three training pathways, designed to meet the varying needs of our participants:
- MiDAS Driver Assessor Training – Standard
- MiDAS Driver Assessor Training – Accessible
- MiDAS Driver Assessor Training – Refresher
Whether you’re an organisation looking to upskill your team or an individual seeking certification, Community First is here to support your training journey with expert guidance and a commitment to community-focused transport.
