Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme (MiDAS) administered by the CTA is a nationally recognised training qualification which is becoming the industry standard for passenger transport drivers. Whilst it is not yet a mandatory requirement for operators, drivers are not able to drive wheelchair 'accessible' vehicles belonging to other organisations unless they have received training in the skills associated with using such minibuses.
Training can be carried out at your own venue

How MiDAS works
After completing the registration process at which licences are checked and a basic eyesight test is completed, the course involves:
Driving practice and tuition – this will include the opportunity for the trainee to drive the vehicle under supervision, in order to receive on-road vehicle familiarisation
A classroom based training session can take place at your own venue
Driver assessment against MiDAS standards
After a successful assessment trainees will be given further basic training by their DAT in the skills and information you need when driving minibuses.
On successful completion of the MiDAS training, trainees receive a certificate which enables them to drive the minibuses of other MiDAS members without the need for re-assessment (although a familiarisation session and checks for insurance compliance will still be necessary).
