Iowa Western offers the 12-hour S.T.O.P. class required for new bus drivers
and the 3-hour annual training class required every year for school bus
driver license renewal. Most drivers take the 3-hour training in the fall, however, a few classes are offered in the spring for new hires and stragglers. The cost is $25 for the 3-hour class and $70 for the 12-hour class.
Enroll your drivers three ways:

“Warning: Distractions Ahead!”
Description: Every bus driver will face distractions while driving the bus, and those distractions will come from every direction!

This year we will take a look at a number of the most common distractions and ways to deal with them to make you a more safe and reliable school bus driver.
