Course Detail

Enroll in Our 8-Hour Driver Improvement Program (DIP) Classroom

  • * Earn 5 good points on your driving record
  • Taught at 25 Northern Virginia locations; offered multiple times a week

Our 8-Hour Driver Improvement Program (DIP) is fully approved by the Virginia DMV and is based on the trusted National Safety Council (NSC) Defensive Driving Course—the original and industry-leading defensive driving program since 1964.

In this course, our experienced instructors cover essential topics such as defensive driving strategies, distracted and impaired driving, aggressive driving, traffic rules, police interactions, traffic court guidance, and important DMV regulations. Each instructor brings years of hands-on teaching experience, and many also have extensive backgrounds in law enforcement.

We believe driver improvement training should be engaging, informative, and valuable. Whether you’re new to driving or have years behind the wheel, our DIP class offers a refreshing, eye-opening learning experience designed to make you a safer, more confident driver.
