The 20-hour Certification Course is required of new school bus drivers, and the 8-hour Re-Certification Course is required as an update every three years. The classes offered meet the requirements of the Texas Department of Public Safety for all school bus drivers in Texas. Safety issues, responsible driving techniques, student loading/unloading procedures, student management, and emergency procedures are discussed. There is an overview of state laws affecting school bus transportation. Each participant will receive a state approved course guide.
