Safer habits on every drive
Our defensive driving course Edmonton drivers can book is the DDC, short for Defensive Driving Course. It is an Alberta defensive driving course, and its focus is the way you think on the road, not just the rules.
Defensive driving means expecting other people to make mistakes and planning for them. You keep a safe gap, watch far ahead, check your mirrors often and choose speeds that suit the conditions. Done every day, those habits prevent many collisions before they start.
Booking for your driving record? In Alberta, some approved defensive driving courses can count toward demerit points. Ask the office before you book whether this course does.

Is the DDC a good fit for you?
People book the DDC for different reasons. It may suit you if one of these sounds familiar:
- You have driven for years. Habits drift over time, and a course on defensive thinking is a good moment to check yours.
- You passed your road test recently. Safe habits are easier to build now than to fix later.
- You will soon supervise a learner. Look at your own driving again before you sit beside a Class 7 driver.
- You simply want to drive with more care. No other reason is needed.
If demerit points are part of your reason, ask the office first whether this course counts toward them.
Want time behind the wheel too? Our Brush-Up gives you one-on-one practice in our car, by the hour or as the Winter Brush-Up 2hrs. For a quick read first, see our defensive driving tips.
