# Become a bus driver at IBF

Prepare for a career in passenger transport. At IBF, you can obtain your **category D bus driving licence** with practical training and focused test preparation.

## A responsible profession

Bus drivers are responsible for their passengers. Our training combines safe driving with the demands of everyday work. We support your career orientation and draw on our contacts with bus companies in Berlin and the surrounding area.

## Entry requirements

- A category B driving licence
- Physical and mental fitness and the required medical evidence
- A certificate of good conduct for assessment by the licensing authority
- The minimum age that applies to your training and intended work

The standard minimum age for category D is 24. Earlier entry is possible under certain professional qualification or vocational training routes, sometimes with restrictions on the work permitted. We explain the route that applies to you.

## Training and duration

You receive theory lessons, practical driving lessons and preparation for the category D tests. Training normally takes about three months. Ask us about the teaching language and timetable. A professional driver qualification may also be required for your intended work.
