You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course
What this course covers.
A bus or van driver's compliance obligations go well beyond securing whatever is in the back - licensing class, the traffic laws specific to a passenger vehicle, and what to do if the vehicle breaks down or is in a collision with passengers on board all carry their own requirements.
The course works through the driver's licence class, traffic laws, seat belt and cell phone rules, drug and alcohol requirements, scales and fuelling, breakdown procedures outside an urban area, collision reporting and investigation, keeping exits clear, and driver and passenger safety.
Carriers use this course as a general compliance foundation for bus and van drivers, alongside any vehicle- or cargo-specific training the operation also requires.
