Train to become a bus driver

By attending the course, we want to ensure that you learn the knowledge and skills needed to become a bus driver. Our experienced instructors will help you on your way to achieving your personal goals for a future profession with many exciting opportunities. Once you've completed your training, we want you to be able to navigate the traffic in a safe and service-minded manner.

With our training, you will have the best conditions to become a skilled bus driver. Together, we prepare you to work as a professional driver in the bus industry through both practical and theoretical elements. In the practical part of the training you will learn how to drive a bus and about the daily maintenance of the vehicle. The theoretical part covers traffic rules, safety regulations and bus construction. As service is a large part of the job, the course also includes customer service. The training consists of two parts:

  • Vocational traffic-vux: 300 points
  • Passenger transport - adult: 200 points

The vocational training comprises a total of 500 credits. Usually the training lasts about 25 weeks. This can vary depending on how much support you need to achieve your goals.

How do I apply to train as a bus driver?

Prospects for those who choose to train as a bus driver look good as a result of the fact that demand is expected to increase while competition for jobs will decrease. The high average age of today's drivers means that many will retire over the next ten years, prompting many municipalities and counties to invest in public transport. At Jarla Trafikskola, we are therefore proud to offer Komvux training at our traffic school in Älvsjö. Submit your application here. When applying, make sure you have a valid driving licence. You apply for this at the Swedish Transport Agency.

When you submit your application, a check is carried out to ensure that you meet the eligibility requirements. If you are eligible for the course, you will be invited to an assessment of your skills. You will then be informed whether you have been admitted to the course. The course is eligible for student grants. You apply to CSN yourself.
