The
NZ Defensive Driving Course is an approved course
for the purpose of reducing the time drivers
spend in the Restricted drivers licence phase.
If you are under 25 years of age the certificate
can be used to reduce the 18 months to 12 months.
You must have held your Restricted licence for
6 months before starting the course. Check when
your Restricted licence was issued. If you are
over 25 years of age it can be used to reduce
the 6 months to 3 months. This Advance Driving
Skills Course is approved for Police & Ambulance
recruits, it also qualifies for Court Referrals.
The NZ Defensive Driving Course
is an intensive interactive course & is
made up of 8 hours of in-class theory
modules with an in-car practical session.
It's designed for anyone who wants to learn
safer driving skills for life. The aim
of the course is to teach drivers how to process
information and make sound decisions. You will
be asked to work in groups where you will be
expected to contribute your own ideas and experiences.
There are some homework activities to complete
between sessions which must be completed before
proceeding to the next session, if not completed
you cannot proceed further.
By the end of the course, a
defensive driver will be able to maintain progress,
anticipate hazards and react defensively to
adverse driving situations and conditions. The
content will essentially cover three main areas:
myself, my vehicle and my driving environment.
The focus is on reducing risk.
It develops key driving skills, and explores
things like strategic searching and identifying
hazards. Many people will be facing the Full
Licence Test and the course reviews key manoeuvres
tested on this Full Licence Test.
The certificate is nationally
recognised and would be a major addition to
the CV of anyone seeking employment where driving
is involved.
