The back of nowhere

 We're stuck out in the back of nowhere and many people are dependent on lifts and community transport with various degrees of organisation. This training from a Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity (BRCC) could well enhance your ability to meet this need.

Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity (BRCC) offers a range of training for both minibus and car drivers (paid or voluntary), as well as passenger assistants, including:

-  MiDAS (Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme) tuition, providing improved driving skills and vehicle size awareness for larger minibuses (up to 16 passenger seats)
-  MiDAS Accessibility module, providing skills in carrying and securing those in wheelchairs
-  MiDAS driving tuition and accessibility module for smaller vehicles (up to 8 passenger seats)
-  PATS (Passenger Assistant Training Scheme), providing training and information in the care of passengers, particularly those with mobility difficulties.
Courses are generally held locally, and successful completion will result in a certificate valid for four years, as well as increased driving, passenger handling and customer awareness skills.
