Defensive Driver Training

On South African roads there are over half-a-million collisions per year, and your chances of being involved in one are extremely high. We have structured our defensive driver training course in such a way to equip drivers with the necessary attitude, awareness and physical skills to avoid being in potentially life threatening situations.

• Module1 - Theory
  • The theoretical presentation covers all the necessary driving skills required for a defensive driver. Subjects including mental, physical and emergency skills are covered in detail. Visual aids and multimedia are extensively used to illustrate key points.
  • The presentation is conducted in a relaxed discussion format, where participants are encouraged to actively participate.
  • The total duration of the presentation is approximately three hours.
• Module 2 - On Road Training
  • During the on-road training, participants are first assessed on their current driving abilities and then shown the correct methods for safer driving. Training is conducted on a one on one basis, ensuring a more concentrated training session. This on-road training takes place in the participant’s own vehicle. Training time is approximately 75 minutes, followed by a short de-briefing period. Participants then receive a complete report on their driving, with areas in need of attention clearly marked.
• Module 3 - Evaluation
  • Approximately four weeks after initial training, participants are evaluated on whether they are driving to the approved defensive driving standards.On successful completion of the course, each participant will receive a Defensive Driving Certificate, which is valid for a two-year period. We currently offer one of the most stringent competence levels in our industry with a minimum pass mark of 70% required. Through practising and applying the defensive skills this mark is easily obtainable, likewise laziness and the wrong attitudes will certainly show in the candidates end result.
