School Bus Driver Training

The preservice school bus driver training schedule is now posted.

Please continue to register trainees attending the course, using the telephone number listed for each host. Likewise, when a trainee is registered and later decides not to attend, it is appropriate to contact the host site and cancel the registration. It is important that the employer, not the driver candidate, register their drivers. In the event that changes must be made or a class must be canceled, we will contact the employer. Also, be sure and check the schedule on the web page listed above frequently, for any last minute changes that may occur.

After registering a trainee, if the school wishes to start training immediately, the employer may request a certificate of enrollment (blue card) prior to the class. Otherwise, the certificate will be issued at the class. The request must be in writing on employer letterhead stating the trainee’s name as it is to appear on the certificate, their social security number, and the preservice class they will be attending. A facsimile request is acceptable as well as e-mail requests. Send e-mail requests to tgummer@doe.in.gov Allow at least 10 days to receive the certificate.

Thank you very much for your cooperation.
