Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a D and D1 license?
The D1 license is limited to vehicles carrying 9 to 16 passengers (minibuses, ≤ 8 m) and is available from age 21. The full D license has no passenger limit and covers coaches and city buses, usually from age 24.
Is the FIMO certification mandatory after the D license?
No — the D license alone is enough for personal or occasional driving. The FIMO Voyageurs (140h) becomes mandatory to work professionally as a bus or coach driver.
Can the bus license be funded by the CPF?
Yes. Both the D license and the FIMO Voyageurs are eligible for CPF funding. Pôle Emploi, transport OPCOs and French regions also offer aid for jobseekers and career changers.
