What is the Certified School Bus Driver Instructor Program?
The Certified School Bus Driver Instructor Program is a program to train and certify individuals as school bus driver trainers. This program should help a school district maintain a trained staff of drivers. The Certified School Bus Driver Instructor training program is jointly sponsored by Central Missouri State University-Missouri Safety Center, Missouri School Bus Contractors Association (MSBCA), Missouri Association of Pupil Transportation (MAPT), and the Department of Elementary and Secondary Education, School Governance/Transportation Section. This program is usually conducted during the months of June and July and provides individuals with classroom and hands-on practical instruction activities. The goal is to provide each trainee with a model curriculum and instructional skills necessary to design and implement a school bus driver training program (302.272, RSMo).
