Bus Driver recruitment agency listing
Bus Drivers play a central role in Britain's Public Transport Industry - being employed in every major settlement to help people get from A to B.
What qualifications do you need to drive a bus?
To train as a Bus Driver, candidates need to be at least 18 years of age and have a full, clean driving licence. The majority of employers of Bus Drivers prefer to employ candidates with some GCSEs, particularly in English and Maths. Bus Drivers can study for further qualifications, such as NVQs in Road Passenger Transport, while in employment.
All employers provide training for their newly recruited Bus Drivers. Drivers tend to be teamed up with experienced staff and receive induction training, which may include customer care, ticket machine use, disability awareness, and health and safety. Drivers also work towards obtaining their passenger carrying vehicle (PCV) licence.
Under EU laws, all PCV drivers, including Bus Drivers, are required to obtain a Certificate of Professional Competence (CPC), which comprises a medical examination and practical and theoretical tests. Once a CPC has been granted, Drivers must agree to undertake at least 35 hours of training once every five years.
