Your presentation style was very clear... and great that everything was done with a sense of humour – right up my street!
Why should I take part in MiDAS training?
Anyone driving or operating minibuses on behalf of Hampshire County Council should be trained to MiDAS standards. It’s also best practice to be familiar with the training before driving a passenger carrying vehicle with over 9 seats. The training is available to all schools, colleges, voluntary organisations and council departments using minibuses in Hampshire, Portsmouth and Southampton.
Please be advised that there are restrictions on what vehicle can be driven subject to licence categories held such as B/D1. For further information, get in touch.
