About the Training

The online MiDAS training is designed to be clear and concise, allowing you to work through the modules at your own pace, as and when it suits you.   The total training time is about 90 minutes, but this can be completed over multiple sessions.   This training must be successfully completed before booking and attending your on-road driving assessment (via the Events section of our bookings site) with our MiDAS Driver Assessor.

The on-road driving assessment should be completed within 3 months of completing the online training.

Once booked you will receive an email from the CTA (Community Transport Association), who administer MiDAS, this email will contain details of how to log on and access the MiDAS online training platform.   Please allow a few days for receipt of this email whilst our Transport Manager makes the necessary arrangements with the CTA.

Our Transport Manager will receive notification from the CTA when you start and when you successfully complete the online training, and will also be able to monitor overall progress.
