MiDAS is a national scheme to enhance the driving and passenger awareness skills of minibus drivers. MiDAS is not a legal requirement but is increasingly being accepted as a ‘best working practice’. Most organisations operating minibuses like their drivers to have a MiDAS certificate. It is down to the organisation’s risk assessment and policy.
Midas Induction is for drivers that do not have a Midas Cert or their current Midas Cert has been expired for more than 3 month
MiDAS offers two types of certificate:
• Standard (for driving only)
• Accessible (in addition to driving, this includes safely securing wheelchairs)
The training consists of an online theory session, followed by a separate driving assessment.
Days are scheduled as follows:
Induction Standard courses
• Day One and Two – Online Theory Sessions x2 full day
• Day Three – 1-hour practical assessment
Induction Accessible courses
• Day One and Two – Online Theory Sessions x2 full day
• Day Three – 2-3-hour practical assessment
A certificate is valid for 4 years and you will require refresher training by no less than 3 months before the certificate expiry date.
