Looking for a new job, skill, or a way to change career? Here's your chance!

Starting this October, Peter Smythe Transport Training is offering, on our behalf, a free course to help you become a bus driver! This course is perfect if you live in Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire, or Luton and already have a car licence.

What's included?

  • free training to get your bus driver's licence (Category D PSV)
  • guaranteed job interviews with local bus companies at the end of the course (imagine getting a job offer right after finishing!)
  • a mix of fun classroom sessions and online learning to cover everything you need to know about being a bus driver
  • practical training to help you pass your bus driving test

There will be introductory sessions happening all over Bedfordshire in the coming months. Training will be delivered in a mixture of small groups and one-to-one sessions.

Come and talk to us!

There will be special events happening on:

  • Friday 21 March 2025 (12pm until 4pm)
