What you will submit

A shareable link to a 3-5 minute video demonstrating route safety knowledge and passenger service skills.

What to do, step by step

  1. Choose a familiar Danfo route in your local area (e.g., Oshodi to CMS, Iyana-Ipaja to Ikeja).
  2. Using your phone, record a short video (3-5 minutes) of yourself narrating the key safety points and potential hazards along this route. Point out things like tricky junctions, common pedestrian crossings, areas with potholes, or where other drivers often break rules. Explain how you would safely navigate these sections.
  3. In the same video, demonstrate or describe how you would handle a common passenger scenario, such as a passenger trying to pay with a torn ₦1000 note, or a passenger complaining about the music volume. Show how you'd apply good customer service and problem-solving skills.
  4. Upload your video to YouTube or Google Drive and ensure the link is shareable.

You need 65% overall to pass. A human examiner also reviews this safety-critical project before any certificate is issued. A failed submission comes back with feedback and can be revised and resubmitted.

Before you submit: make your link public

If your work lives in Google Drive or Google Docs, open Share → General access and change “Restricted” to “Anyone with the link” (Viewer). Then paste the link into a private browser window: if it opens without sign-in, you are ready. A private link cannot be graded — it is the single most common reason a good project fails.

Frequently asked questions

Do I have to finish Professional Driving (Bus & Danfo) before submitting the project?

Yes. The submission screen opens once every lesson in Professional Driving (Bus & Danfo) is marked complete. The lessons are where the methods, the Nigerian context and the worked examples the project depends on are taught.

How is the project graded?

An examiner scores each rubric criterion from 0 to 100 and weights them as shown on this page; you need 65% overall to pass. Because this is a safety-critical trade, a human examiner also reviews every submission before a certificate is issued.

A write-up of what you did (under 5,000 characters) plus a public link to your work — a Google Drive folder, Google Doc, spreadsheet, GitHub repository or video.
