Defensive Driving Instructor Courses

DDC – Alive at 25® Third Edition

DDC – Alive at 25, Third Edition, is designed specifically for drivers between ages 15 and 24. The newly revised and updated program can be used to complement a standard driver education course or provide new direction for young drivers who incur traffic violations. The new instructor certification package is included in the course fee.

Training goal

This 2½-day course will train you to work with the largest group of at-risk drivers using materials and topics they identify with. Drivers are divided into three distinct audiences: teens (ages 15-19), young adults (ages 20-24) and military personnel.

Who should attend?

  • Driving school instructors
  • High school driver education teachers
  • State, county and local police, public information officers, court trainers and driving schools working with newly licensed drivers or teen violators
  • Anyone who works with young drivers.

Why should you attend?

This course addresses the number one cause of death for drivers ages 15 to 24 — motor vehicle crashes — and has been adopted by many states and courts for graduated licensing and traffic violator programs. As an instructor, you will help young adults practice on-the-spot defensive driving techniques, changing bravado to confidence. This includes helping them learn key communication skills for assertiveness and being a young leader behind the wheel. Providing this training is a must in order to make our nation’s streets and highways safe.

Teaching sessions include:

  • Session 1: “Are You a Potential Statistic?” — Helps young adult drivers recognize that they are more likely than anyone else to be injured or killed in a vehicle crash
  • Sessions 2: “Recognize the Hazard!” — Identifies the two types of driving hazards as well as the poor judgments and unnecessary risks young adult drivers take in a vehicle
  • Session 3: “Understand the Defense” — Shows young adults that they have control in most driving situations. Also identifies the steps they can take to gain and keep control, whether they are a driver or passenger
  • Session 4: “Act Correctly, Time” — Encourages the commitment to changing driving behavior

Fee: Members $275.00; Nonmembers $365.00
