A practical assessment enquiry for drivers and organisations, with Dawn in Edwinstowe. This service is assessment-only: it is not D1 licence training or a DVSA driving test.

Individual drivers and organisational enquiries welcome.
If your organisation needs to arrange a minibus driver assessment, start by telling Dawn what you require and why. The D1 assessment service is separate from learning to drive a minibus to gain a new licence entitlement.
It may be an enquiry from an individual driver or from an organisation arranging assessments for several people. Schools, charities, community groups and other organisations are welcome to discuss their needs. Dawn can confirm whether the requested assessment is within the service she offers.
Be clear about any internal requirements when you first make contact. Dawn has confirmed that she does not provide D1 licence training, tests or forms as part of this service. If you need a particular qualification, report or document, do not assume it is included.
Tell Dawn your location, the number of drivers and the reason an assessment is needed. Include any specific requirements your organisation has before asking for a date.
Your organisation supplies the minibus. Discuss the vehicle, appointment location and availability with Dawn. The duration and practical details will be confirmed for your booking.
Meet Dawn for the agreed assessment. This is an assessment appointment, not a licence-acquisition course. Ask any questions about the scope before you commit to a booking.
Check what your organisation is actually asking for. A driver assessment, MiDAS certification and obtaining D1 entitlement are different requirements. Giving Dawn the exact wording of your request can help avoid booking the wrong service.
The driver and organisation remain responsible for checking the driver’s entitlement and the vehicle arrangements for the intended use. Do not assume this assessment changes what a driving licence permits.
If your requirement is the Minibus Driver Awareness Scheme, read about MiDAS Standard. If drivers also support passengers using an accessible minibus, consider the Accessible option and discuss the details with Dawn.
