Grow Your Business.
The completely revised 11th Edition of AAA Driver Improvement Program can help you grow your business by reaching more students. Instruction is delivered in eight, one-hour chapters that can be presented in 8, 6 or 4 hour lengths depending on state requirements. Or you can use individual units for presentations to civic groups or “lunch and learn” seminars.
Get Certified. Get Support.
We require all instructors to go through our certification program before they can purchase or teach with our program. This means a greater level of support for you, plus networking opportunities to further grow your reach.
Two-for-One
Our program comes with two versions: AAA Driver Improvement Program and AAA RoadWise Driver. AAA's Driver Improvement is used for ticket dismissal/ point adjudication, fleet operators and persons authorized to drive State, County or municipal-owned vehicles. AAA RoadWise Driver is a true senior-focused version which addresses natural age-based changes, managing one’s medications, adjusting habits to reduce risk, and the value of planning for ongoing mobility.
New and Expanded Content
The 11th edition curriculum has been completely updated, adding information on ADAS/ Vehicle Technology, Safe Traffic Stops, The Dutch Reach Technique and AAA's R.E.A.D. the Road approach to low-risk driving. Other content areas have been expanded and updated as well, such as: Vulnerable Road Users, Slow Down-Move Over laws, Roundabouts, Marijuana/ Cannabis/ THC and driving.
Exclusivity
We require instructors to get club permission as part of their certification process. Once certified, our instructors can be confident of standing out and above their competition.
