A coach is not the same as a Bus.
A single deck licence is granted to people who pass the test for that category of vehicle.
A double deck licence is a different animal that is a full licence.

There are licences known by drivers as 'mickey mouse' licences which enables them to drive automatics only, and these limit job opportunities

they are part of whats wrong with todays society.this country and its population needs stability.there is no stability when an employer uses agencies .it is just a cop out of responsability and the employment laws.otherwords they are just part of the boom bust after a quick buck society that has no social responsbility and belongs in a bygone age..they are part of the suckers who have drained the economy of cash.the middle man who is not needed .part of the humilation of the british worker who voted for employment laws and these leeches dont care.i dont see any advantage they give the british nation.as a nation if we as a nation are going to survive,this is a part of the britain that needs to go.a happy workforce and populaion is a more productive workforce and population..i cold go on but they are scum of the earth .

My experience of job agencies is that the vaste majority of the consultants who work there are penpushers who will try and get you to take any job they have on their books irrespctive of whether you can do that job. I temped via agencies for over 12 years and only met 2 consultants in that time who were up to their job.

Hope you get a job soon Jedi. I know how soul destroying it is to rejected.

hate to burst your bubble here but things are obviously different from 1987
one license covers all the only differences are a minibus is a seperate license to a full psv and there is either an auto or manual license
