MiDAS Driver Awareness Scheme – Raising Minibus Safety Standards Nationwide
MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) is administered by the Community Transport Association UK (CTA). MiDAS is the most widely recognised Minibus driver competency scheme in the UK. With 5,000+ member organisations relying on MiDAS accreditation, the aim is to ensure the highest levels of safety and operational best practices for minibus fleets.
Since January 2024: All drivers seeking MiDAS Standard Certification must now complete an online theory assessment through the CTA. UK Global Road Safety is an approved provider, offering full support for organisations and drivers throughout this process.
Who is MiDAS for?
MiDAS is applicable to any organisation that operates or uses minibuses, from small voluntary organisations operating a single vehicle, to local authorities operating large fleets of minibuses as well as schools, colleges & universities.
MiDAS has developed over the years from the initial minibus course to include Car & MPV, Passenger Assistant, Manual Handling and Minibus Fire & Evacuation courses. MiDAS drivers their admin & management are actively encouraged to keep in touch with UK Global Road Safety
