Our Training Steps to Success

Interactive Classroom

Using a blended model that links interactive classroom learning with one-on-one in-vehicle training, the DriveWise approach provides all new drivers with a solid foundation of safety, skill and confidence. Students are engaged through the use of state-of-the-art quizzes and games, and are challenged through case studies, group discussions and exciting learning activities.

Our highly trained instructors lay the foundation for skill development and improvement through intensive and interactive classroom material, which is then reinforced in the driving simulator.

Simulation Lab

Our driving simulator is an incredibly powerful tool for improving decision making and emphasizing the need for proactive driving skills/habits. Students can be put in risky situations without being put at risk, which allows instructors to focus on coaching. Students are also able to make mistakes safely, with scenario replays to highlight areas of improvement.

Through the use of simulation, students are exposed to everything available through an in-vehicle program and more. The flexibility and safe environment of the simulator enables DriveWise to expose participants to situations that would be impossible in a live vehicle.

ONLINE LEARNING

DriveWise’s online components work to further reinforce theory learned in the classroom. The independent form of study works as a refresher, but also as a way for students to further develop independent thought when it comes to making important decisions behind the wheel.

One-on-one in-vehicle sessions

Once the classroom portion is complete, personalized in-vehicle lessons expand the student’s knowledge further, preparing them for a lifetime of safe driving.

Our students and parents can feel confident they are being trained by qualified instructors with decades of experience in the industry.

All of our vehicles are owned by DriveWise and are part of our Fleet Safety Maintenance programs. Parents and students can feel at ease knowing their driver training vehicle will be safe and comfortable.
