Overview

The NSC developed the first driver improvement program in the nation in 1964.  That program, the Defensive Driving Course (“DDC”) has been taught to nearly 50 million drivers in the U.S., Canada, and abroad.  Since the original DDC program was developed, the NSC has expanded to include more than 30 other driver improvement courses.  Among those are numerous vehicle and/or driver specific courses based on the original DDC.

NSC’s driver improvement/driver education programs are designed and written by NSC staff with the assistance of our International Advisory Committee.  This committee is made up of safety, education, and driver education professionals.
