Student Eligibility
To benefit from the course, you must be able to work independently and be comfortable with using a computer.
If you are required to attend a commercial driver improvement clinic, then this computer-based course will not satisfy a driver improvement clinic requirement. You must satisfactorily complete a clinic that provides CDL classroom instruction.
Court-Required Completion
Your court may or may not accept the certificate of completion for this computer-based course. It is your responsibility to determine whether your court accepts courses taken at online traffic schools.
Customers directed by the court must provide documentation from the court before safe driving points can be awarded.
Student Identification
Student identification will be verified throughout training and prior to taking the final test to ensure that the person taking the course is the same person taking the final test.
Electronic Certificate
The certificate of completion will be electronically transmitted to all individuals upon successful completion of the course within 24 hours.
The DMV standardized certificate, "Online Driver Improvement Clinic Certificate of Completion (DIC 552B)" is the only document that will be accepted by the Department and the Courts as proof of completion of an online driver improvement clinic.
