The National Safety Council has changed the requirements for the Defensive Driving Trainer course beginning in 2019. Moving forward, there will no longer be in-person Defensive Driving Trainer training workshops. All Defensive Driving Trainer candidates will now be required to complete the online Defensive Driving Trainer online modules through the National Safety Council.***
The cost of the Defensive Driving Trainer online modules through the National Safety Council is $1600 per candidate for members. Because CASTA is a member of the National Safety Council, CASTA agency members are able to take advantage of this training.
To become a Defensive Driving Trainer Candidate please:
- Fill out the Defensive Driving Trainer Candidate Program application.
- CASTA staff will confirm with the trainee’s supervisor, explaining the price of $1600.
- Once verified, an invoice will be sent to the agency for payment.
- When payment is received, CASTA staff will register the trainee with the National Safety Council to complete the online modules.
- An email and course manual will be sent to the trainee from the National Safety Council upon completion of your registration.
- Trainee will then Complete the Online Course.
Once the trainee has completed the course, NSC will send a Defensive Driving Certified Trainer Card with the Trainer’s ID number. Please send CASTA a copy of your Trainer Card to complete the process.
