    Hi,

    The requirements for becoming a bus driver depend on the type of licence you hold, your age, and whether you meet the medical and vocational licence requirements. You can find full details on the GOV.UK guidance below:

    This page explains the eligibility criteria, the process for obtaining a PCV (bus) licence, and the training and tests that may be required. Please refer to the guidance to check your specific circumstances.

I have Type 1 diabetes treated with insulin, which is very well controlled (approximately 90% time in range), with full hypo awareness and no history of severe hypoglycaemia. Would this condition prevent me from being considered for a driver role?
