Minibus Tests

 

Drivers wishing to drive a minibus are required to take a proficiency test which is arranged via Stoke on Trent City Council and is valid for 3 years. Once the insurance process has been completed, tests can be booked via your key staff member and are subject to a £100 charge which is payable from the Club or Society account

 

The test takes 2 hours and involves a practical assessment and a selection of theory questions based on a Minibus Handbook provided once the test is booked.  You will also need to be able to do a maintenance walk around the vehicle. 80% is the pass mark

 

 

With the exception of extenuating circumstances, if you fail to cancel a test within 48 hours then you will be charged and the Union reserves the right to refuse any subsequent bookings off you. In such cases it is the club or society’s responsibility to make alternative transport arrangements.
