Customer Training Programs

Build confidence & drive safer

Thomas’s reputation for outstanding safety and reliability is one of the best in the industry – and keeps getting better! The Matthews team is committed to keeping pace with the exciting changes and innovations in school bus engineering and manufacturing and sharing that knowledge with our customers. We provide Customer Training Programs that include a variety of classes for Bus Technicians, Bus Personnel, Shop Personnel, Drivers, Driver Trainers, and CPWA Participants.

Depending on the subject matter, classes are held at one of our four state-of-the-art facilities, at your site, or online. If you want a specific topic addressed by our experts, we are happy to design a custom course as long as it meets a minimum class size. We can also coordinate classes with outside vendors. Contact us to inquire about our current and future course offerings.
