Periodic Training Delivery Schedule

SCT is an approved centre for the new EU Driver Certificate of Professional Competence.  The qualification is a requirement for all new and existing PCV drivers and we believe that it will be a very positive step for the bus industry.

We currently offer two courses, Accessible Customer Service, and First Aid. Accessible Customer Service focuses on ways that drivers can improve the quality of journey for all their passengers including disabled people.

The courses run at SCT’s dedicated training facility on the following Wednesdays throughout 2010:

Accessible Customer Service	First Aid
	Sep 15
October 13	Nov 3
December 15	Dec 8

If you would like to book a place or would like further information, please contact Yvonne Radford on 0114 276 6148 or email enquiry@sheffieldct.co.uk

Sheffield Community Transport will be offering MiDAS for Car and MPV drivers from 1st August 2010.

MiDAS Car & MPV provides the opportunity for organisations operating smaller vehicles, or voluntary car schemes, to deliver the same level of training to their drivers as MiDAS gives to minibus drivers, including regular refresher training.

It follows the same modular format, providing drivers with the information they need to provide safe and comfortable transport for their passengers.  There is additional training for those who may be driving accessible MPV’s and passenger assistance training for those who may be transporting passengers with disabilities in saloon cars.  There is also an on-road element, where drivers undertake an ‘Observed Drive’ during which they can demonstrate the skills learned in the classroom.

MiDAS Car & MPV recognises that some members may have drivers using their own vehicles and for this reason the organisation has the option to ‘opt out’ of the Observed Drive.
