Who qualify's as a parent taught instructor?

Any parent, grandparent, step-parent, step-grandparent and/or legal guardian.

Active Military US military personnel and their spouse may participate as instructors if they hold a valid license from their state of permanent residence or last duty station

Why parent taught?

Parent taught driver education has quickly become the most popular method of teaching driver education.

Many choose parent taught driver education simply because it has shown dramatic improvements in the accident rates of teen drivers when compared the current national and state averages.

There are so many Parent taught courses available. What are the differences?

Although it sometimes can seem overwhelming with the amount of websites offering Driver education, there are really actually only 3 general types:

A "Build your own course": Which actually are the least expensive because they are the most difficult on the parent.

They require the parent to set up their own curriculum from the entire generic set of state requirement documents.

Parents are also required to participate as the physical instructor for all hours of the classroom work.

If time is critical,"build your own courses" may not be your preferred route as incorrect paperwork can delay or negate partt/all of the training.

Textbook Courses: These also include most of the CD ROM and Online courses offered today as the teaching method remains the same, reading test. Albeit reading from a computer screen.

Videos are sometimes included with upgraded packages and can be interchanged to a nearby TV/VCR setup when one is available.

C CBT Course:

Computer based training or CBT, was first used in the 80's has shown that students retain more when the same information is sent to different senses, by utilizing graphics, audio, animations, and videos intertwined.

Developed in the 80's CBT is still used by the military for training youth in very complex fighter aircraft and combat vehicle operations.

Now CBT is available for driver education. It is the easy for parents as it provides the parent with a virtual instructor to teach all of the In-class instruction taking ALL of the guess work out. The parent is guaranteed that their student is following the process correctly.

We recommend Virtual Drive of America as the best parent taught program
