Bus Driver Review

Driving particular routes around Sheffield and Barnsley, picking up and dropping off passengers at designated stops

Yes Improved English and maths Understanding customer service and philosophy surrounding different nationalities, abilities and cultures

Meeting new people from a variety of depots Useful resources Learning through multiple channels Variety of tutors

Sometimes dates, times and tutors would change last minute Clearly explained Made sense to the job role Wish it was prioritised more as it took nearly 18months for me to complete

Due to driver shortages I often found there would be months between each workshop as they just couldn't spare me for a day Realise did support me in putting pressure on my employer

Individual tutors were great However I was never contacted by a specific company just individual tutors involved in my training

I found myself questioning things more, specifically with assisting passengers and how things are done in my job role. My maths has really improved and this has helped me keep to time as I can work things out quicker

No

Yes

There's more opportunities within stagecoach, chance to progress and additionally there's an option to branch out to sister companies

Push to be allowed to attend more workshops you only get 1 year of funding. Be yourself they appreciate honesty and authenticity. Be patient with people, half the job is driving the other half is customer service.
