Defensive Driving (DDC) - Instructor Training

Instructor Course.

The Instructor Course provides presenters with the tools necessary to effectively impart critical information to participants in an effort to help them minimize and/or eliminate the potential risk involved in operating a commercial vehicle on Canadian roads. Candidate Instructors will participate in a full, one-day student program and move into instructional content for the balance of the four days. During this time they, will plan and practice-teach from the Canada Safety Council′s Defensive Driving Course curriculum.

Program discussions will focus on:

Motor vehicle operation
New technologies
Collision involvement
statistics
Driver attitude
Company policy
General safety issues
Instructional techniques of delivery, principles of adult learning, presentation skills and facilitation practices.

Successful completion of the Defensive Driving and/or Professional Driver Improvement Instructor (DDC / PDIC) course means that you will be certified to teach both the Defensive Driving and Professional Driver Improvement courses. The Alberta Safety Council and the Canada Safety Council will certify successful candidates – they will receive an Instructor Certificate and be recognized provincially and nationally as an Instructor in the program. An Instructor Kit with the Instructor Manual, a program DVD, PowerPoint presentation, participant workbook and accompanying course forms and documents is given to instructors.
