If you’re looking to gain new skills or to change careers, there’s new scheme offering people in Bedfordshire the chance to learn how to drive a bus for free.
Peter Smythe Transport Training has a free course to help you become a bus driver and is for those living Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire, or Luton and already have a driving licence.
The course is funded by the government and includes free training to get a bus driver's licence (Category D PSV), using a mix of classroom and online learning sessions, as well as practical lessons to pass the driving test.
The Rufus Centre, in Stepplingley Road, Flitwick will have two introductory events – one tomorrow (Friday, November 15) from 10am until 5.30pm, and another on Saturday, November 16 from 9am until 12.30pm.
