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

Since October 2024, 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.

We will be arranging more recruitment events at convenient locations around Central Bedfordshire soon. In the meantime, for more information please contact us by calling 01234 954844 or by emailing public.transport@centralbedfordshire.gov.uk
