Defensive Driving Course
Defensive Driving Course
Emirates
Driving Institute now offers a completely new DEFENSIVE DRIVING COURSE under
its newly established division called the Emirates Advanced Driving (EAD). The EAD division within the EDI is the leading
provider of driver training and improvement programmes in the Greater Middle
East, and has been at the forefront of safety improvement programmes for many
years.
This new Defensive
Driving Course is specifically designed and tested to meet the demanding
requirements of the UAE and for use also in the wider GCC. It shows delegates how to THINK DIFFERENTLY about their driving
and also to realize what other drivers might be thinking (or doing). It aims to
have all delegates leave their training sessions with a POSITIVE MENTAL DRIVING
ATTITUDE!
The
combination of improved skills, plus new generation briefing and workbook
materials coupled with a great deal of practical in-car work makes this course
highly effective and results-orientated. The curriculum for the Defensive
Driving Course is available in three formats, for either a single participant
or for two (2delegate full day, 1delegate half day and super delegate full
day). Each session is delivered by a team of fully-accredited and highly
experienced advanced driving trainers.
With 95% of all
accidents owing to human error and unsafe driving practices, it has become
essential that drivers constantly work on their driving, improve their skills,
and seek to gain awareness on all those aspects that would improve their safety
and the safety of others on the road. And this is exactly what EAD’s DEFENSIVE
DRIVING COURSE achieves.
