The e-Learning course will take approximately between 70 & 90 minutes to complete and can be completed in stages or all at once. The candidates should have at least 1 week to complete the e-Learning course and this needs to be completed at least 1 day prior to the arrival of our Trainer/Assessor for the extended driving assessments.
On the day of the driving assessments there will be a short session to review the candidate e-Learning questions or concerns prior to driving.
The on-road part of the course is normally completed on the 1 to 1 basis with a demonstration drive by the trainer (if required), a practice session and then an assessment of the candidate`s driving abilities.
Each candidate who is successful will receive a MiDAS E-certificate which is valid for 4 years after completing a short CTA feedback survey.
