They are both correct, depending on usage.
Examples:
Jenny got her driver's license in April. She has been driving since April.
Mary was hired to deliver packages by the Postal Service in April. She has driven for them since April.
It's just a difference in verb tense. The perfect tense (has driven) emphasizes that the action is completed-- so, you could say:
Mary was hired to deliver packages by the Postal Service in April. She has driven for them since April.
OR
Mary was hired to deliver packages by the Postal Service in April. She has been driving for them since April.
BUT
you can only say:
Jenny got her driver's license in April. She has been driving since April.
If you say that Jenny has driven since April, it is confusing because it sounds like you are referring to some completed action-- not the fact that Jenny has generally had the ability to drive since April.
