Can I take part in MiDAS Training?

You must have a current, valid driving licence, be over 21 and have held your driving licence for at least 2 years. You will need to bring it with you for the start of the training and to have provided us with a photocopy or scan beforehand. The copy needs to match the licence presented. All drivers must show their driving licence for examination at the start of the training.
You will also need to go to the WWW.GOV.UK website (make sure you have your National Insurance Number and Driving Licence to hand) to generate a copy of your current driving licence information (vehicles you can drive or any penalty points or disqualifications) and print this out and bring this with you as well. (This needs to be done within the 21 days preceding the course start date.) If in doubt about this please contact us at info@achievetrainers.com
A driving assessment cannot be undertaken unless our trainer has confirmed that the driver is eligible to drive a minibus of that size. If you have more than 6 points on your driving licence you will not be able to attend this course. If your driving offence was serious (e.g. dangerous driving) you will not be able to attend this course.
While a clean driving licence is preferable, it is not essential (except under conditions out-lined above.) Note will be taken of any endorsements (penalty points) as it may indicate an underlying characteristic of the person’s driving skills and their suitability to drive a minibus. We must also be aware of any endorsements to ensure that we have suitable insurance cover.
Drivers must also be able to read a number plate at 20 metres, and their eyesight will be tested before the start of the driving assessment.
