Defensive Driving Course Self-Study Program
Teach driver safety to your own employees onsite, in about 90 minutes, with the
National Safety Council’s NEW Defensive Driving Course (DDC) Self-Study Program.
Based on our proven effective Defensive Driving Course, it’s perfect for individual
motorists or fleet drivers unable to attend regular DDC classes. It’s also a great
refresher course
It’s convenient.
Employees take the course at work or at home. No need to send your staff to an off-site
location for a day of training.
It saves money.
Just one motor vehicle crash with injuries can cost your company $38,000. Our defensive
driving courses can reduce the number and severity of collisions, and the high costs
associated with them.
It’s smart.
Providing employees with safe driving instruction protects thousands of motorists,
passengers and pedestrians each year.
Our new DDC Self Study program replaces the DDC Video Self Instruction program.

- The difference between good driving and defensive driving
