Hours of top quality classroom instruction is provided in just two weekends.
Parents attend a Teaching Your Teen to Drive session and students, 15
& up, without permits take the State Written Exam for their licenses.
This most affordable program does not include scheduled lessons with
CDI. Parents, friends or relatives typically provide driving instruction
when it is convenient for the family. CDI will assist parent/coaches
with any needs or questions as they may arise (you can always choose
to purchase driving instruction from CDI at a later date if needed).
This is an ideal course for students whose insurance companies provide
a Driver's Education Insurance Discount (call your agent! Note: some
discount programs require up to 6hrs of behind-the-wheel training).

Course Credit: Various Courts, Employers, Educational Institutes, and Insurance Companies will give credit for this course. Check with the appropriate authority to verify your options. Goals & Objectives: The majority of court-ordered offenders are basically good drivers most of the time-who make a mistake once in a while. However, this same situation is what causes tickets, and kills people all too often. This course of study is designed to remind you of the details and level of attention necessary to minimize complacency and prevent accidents. Time Requirements: Four (4) or eight (8) hours of required class attendance is the standard. The court establishes a student time requirement if a traffic violation is the cause of attendance. Participation: All participants should engage in class-discussions and view all videos. You will attend classes with new drivers and are expected to share your experiences with these inexperienced students. Attendance: All students must be in attendance in the classroom for the entire specified time-requirement, to receive a certificate. Textbooks: All students are given the AAA Text, Managing Visibility, Time & Space--an excellent "Risk Management" book, The Colorado Driver Handbook, and other relevant materials. |

Behind-The-Wheel Training: Automatic
Transmission Only |

Three two-hour training
segments, while driving our dual-control vehicles, the student progresses
from residential driving to city driving, and finally onto interstate
highways. Progress will depend on the amount of practice and level of
skill developed between lessons. See: BEHIND-THE-WHEEL (BTW): What We Teach During Our Driving Lessons |

Student
Behind-The-Wheel Training: 2 Hours
of Clutch Training |
|
This course does
a great job of preparing the student for driving any car! Three two-hour
training segments using an automatic transmission, and one two-hour
training segment using a manual transmission provide a wide range of
skill development challenges that fully prepares the student for many
common and uncommon road conditions. Development of the additional skill
for using a clutch to change gears is a natural and logical extension
of the skill sets learned in other BTW sessions. See: BEHIND-THE-WHEEL (BTW): What We Teach During Our Driving Lessons |

Brush-Up/Follow-Up Training:
Automatic Trans. Only |
|
This brush-up course
provides clear evaluation and assessment of the general driving skills
of the licensed driver. We provide practice and opportunity to review
any and all basic driving skills while driving in a variety of traffic
situations. In this two-hour training segment, while driving our dual-control
vehicles, drivers receive direction and guidance for facing specific
challenges, from residential driving to city driving, as well as interstate
highways. We customize this lesson to emphasize what the driver wants
and needs. As a follow-up course we can include a Sample BOST (Basic
Operating Skills Test). This course is ideal for Course
100 students. See: BEHIND-THE-WHEEL (BTW): What We Teach During Our Driving Lessons |

Follow-Up Training:
Manual Transmission Only |
|
This course is designed
to train any driver in a two-hour training segment, to successfully
use a clutch without stalling, and to move through a standard shift
pattern associated with a manual transmission. Particular emphasis is
given to downshifting, holding one's position on a hill, creeping, and
hill starts. See: BEHIND-THE-WHEEL (BTW): What We Teach During Our Driving Lessons |

risk and managing one’s space and time is critical for today’s
overcrowded highways. AAA textbooks are included. This course also qualifies
