NOVICE SAFESTART PROGRAM 

Interactive Classroom (20 hours):

Our SafeStart new driver training program is one of the most respected in the country. Using a blended model that links interactive classroom learning with one-on-one in-vehicle training, the DriveWise approach provides all new drivers with a solid foundation of safety, skill and confidence.

DriveWise courses are so unique because they are so interactive. Students are engaged through the use of state-of-the-art quizzes and games, and are challenged through case studies, group discussions and exciting learning activities.

Our highly trained instructors lay the foundation for skill development and improvement through intensive and interactive classroom material, which is then reinforced in the driving simulator.

Simulation (6 hours):

Through the use of simulation, students are exposed to everything available through an in-vehicle program and more. The flexibility and safe environment of the simulator enables DriveWise to expose participants to situations that would be impossible in a live vehicle. (Approximately 6 hours of classroom time is spent in the Simulation Lab.)

One-on-One in vehicle lessons (10 hours):

Once the classroom portion is complete, personalized in-vehicle lessons expand the student’s knowledge further, preparing them for a lifetime of safe driving.

With decades of instructional experience at their fingertips, students and parents can feel confident they are being trained by some of the most qualified instructors in the country. And they can feel safe knowing that DriveWise vehicles are all maintained to the highest level.

Online Learning (10 hours):
DriveWise’s online components work to further reinforce theory learned in the classroom. The independent form of study works as a refresher, but also as a way for students to further develop independent thought when it comes to making important decisions behind the wheel.
