Commercial Defensive Driving Course

Online Courses has developed an online Commercial Defensive Driving Course specifically for commercial vehicle drivers.

The online Commercial Defensive Driving Course can be utilized as stand-alone training as well as to augment existing programs. It ensures drivers receive proper training focused on best practices for defensive driving, promoting the safety of drivers, cargo, and vehicles.

This course was originally designed for companies with multiple drivers experiencing a high incidence of accidents, leading to vehicle damage, passenger injuries, and increased insurance costs. As a result, they required an effective training solution.

Through this program and its evaluations, drivers become better educated in defensive driving techniques and road safety awareness. As a result, accident and injury rates have significantly decreased.

The training incorporates both video and lecture formats. While this type of course is often used for employees involved in driving incidents, it is also highly recommended for new employees who will be driving as part of their job responsibilities.
