New York State Education Department is pleased to present the revised Basic Course of Instruction for School Bus Drivers! The new 30-hour course curriculum is required to be taught with EVERY Basic Course for School Bus Drivers taught on or after April 1, 2020. The old version will no longer be accepted.

As an active School Bus Driver Instructor or Master Instructor, you should have received a link to down load the digital files for the Basic Course for School Bus Drivers PowerPoint slides from NYSED. Please do NOT share this link, even with another SBDI/MI.

PTSI has printed this entire manual for SBDIs and MIs to purchase at cost. The manual is 848 pages and comes 3-hole drilled for insertion into a binder (not included). Each of the 14 sections is printed in notepage view divided by a corresponding tab. PowerPoint slides are NOT included with this purchase.
