New training for bus drivers
South Yorkshire’s Mayor, Oliver Coppard has awarded Realise Learning and Employment Ltd £385,000 to deliver Bus and Coach Driver Training across South Yorkshire from April 2023.
There is a national shortage of bus drivers, with significant operational challenges in the South Yorkshire region that include approximately 200 hard-to-fill driver vacancies with bus operators in our region and reported high turnover rates..
This new programme will offer those aged 19+, who are employed or unemployed and fulfil current eligibility criteria, an opportunity to undertake a training programme that could lead to PCV (Passenger Carrying Vehicle) certification, through the devolved Adult Education Budget.
