Drivafy's courses
set bus drivers up for success.
Achieving success on a school bus involves understanding the reasons behind children's behaviours and adapting our adult strategies to effectively handle any situation that arises. Not all people have this knowledge or natural ability. But we know these skills can be learned. Our courses lay the foundation for success by providing drivers with proven strategies and course content that is effective, interactive, interesting and easy to follow.
Our video-based modules include relatable content, activities, and downloads that drivers can utilize right away on their bus. Across the program, there is a focus on understanding where behaviours could be coming from and the most effective ways to handle real world problems and situations.
