This session is for those who are wanting to complete MiDAS Driver training. Please take a look at our district MiDAS webpage for full details of the training and the costs involved. If you wish to attend this training please send an email to MiDAS@cesd.org.uk – You will only need to attend for less than 2 hours, when you contact us let us know what times you would be available so an appropriate time slot can be assigned to you.

The driving session is usually arranged to suit the times and dates of the candidate, availability of MiDAS driver assessor and availability of a minibus. However this session is being advertised as a minibus has already been booked for this weekend for other candidates and space is available for additional candidates.

We ask that you contact us at least 3 weeks before this date as you will need to complete the online MiDAS Theory session and test, in your own time, before attending this driving session. If there are no candidates registered by 3 weeks before it is likely that this session will have been cancelled.

If you are not available on this date but are interested in MiDAS training please email us as an additional session could be arranged.

VENUE: Will let you know starting point / location of minibus as part of your joining instructions.
