The RoSPA National Minibus Test
Every minibus driver should consider taking the RoSPA National Minibus Test. Not only will they have the satisfaction of knowing that they have achieved the RoSPA high standard, but their organisation and the passengers for whom they accept responsibility will be confident and comfortable knowing that they are properly qualified.

A thorough assessment of minibus driving skills and advice to improve driver competence. By the end of the test delegates should have demonstrated:
- Correct use of controls – steering wheel, clutch, gearbox, brakes, accelerator, horn, etc.
- The ‘System’ of advanced driving – mirrors will play an important part in this
- A good driving performance – moving off and stopping, road position, cornering, obeying speed limit, overtaking, signals, etc
- A good general ability – alertness, consideration of other road users, hazard perception, judgement of distances, etc
- A good knowledge of the theory behind driving through the completion of a shirt multiple choice test on the Highway Code, basic maintenance checks and drivers’ responsibilities
What are the benefits?
- A successful delegate will receive a RoSPA permit to drive
- Delegates will be re-tested every three years ensuring driving standards and competence is maintained

During the test delegates should have demonstrated:
- Correct use of controls
- ‘The System’ of advanced driving
- A good driving performance
- A good general ability
- A good knowledge of the theory behind driving (short test on The Highway Code, basic maintenance, and drivers’ responsibilities)
Who should attend?
Anyone who drives a minibus for work purposes.
Additional information
It is unlikely that a delegate will pass without a good knowledge of the RoSPA publication ‘Essential Minibus Driving’, the latest edition of ‘The Highway Code’, and ‘Roadcraft’.
It is doubtful that a delegate will pass this test without proper training and practise.
There will be a pre-drive roadworthiness check of the vehicle, so delegates should ensure that it is maintained in good working order.
Benefits to client
A successful delegate will receive a RoSPA permit to drive, which will be valid for three years after which time a re-test will be due.
