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.

Image
EAD- Defensive Course Brochure

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.

After the assessment is done you will be issued the medical report for which the cost is AED 100. In case you do not have a health card you can have one made for AED 360 in Rashid Hospital itself.
