The CSC’s Center for Learning and Improving Performance (CLIP) is excited to announce the Statewide Defensive Driving Program (SDDP) in coordination with the Department of the Treasury’s Division of Risk Management (DRM) and the State Accident Review Board (ARB).

This proactive on-line course and certificate program provided by the National Safety Council is available to all State employees required to operate State vehicles, motorized equipment, or their personal vehicles in the performance of assigned job duties on a regular or intermittent basis.

Course Description

The Defensive Driving Course is a comprehensive four (4) hour on-line defensive driving and driver improvement program that delivers real life driving situations through state-of-the-art technology using computer generated animation and adaptive interactivity.  The course contains content and strategies that address the most critical driving challenges and offers State employees the highest level of interactivity through real life scenarios, gaming exercises, videos, and crash scenarios.  This is all done in an engaging interactive learning environment where employees analyze real driving situations, spot driving hazards; identify and executive the correct defense. 

The course is divided into six (6) sessions with an introduction and post course test.  It allows employees to successfully complete the session quiz challenge with appropriate feedback, before they can proceed to the next session.  The bookmark feature allows employees to resume where they left off.  Thus, may be completed over time if necessary. 

Assignments are coordinated through the Center for Learning and Improving Performance (CLIP) by completing the Request for Statewide Defensive Driving Program Assignment.

A course assignment fee will be applied for each employee; $9.25 for LMS platform subscribers and $21.25 for non-LMS platform subscribers.
