The New Green DDC - a Web-Based Learning Experience

The latest training industry buzzword is "e-Learning." This philosophy of adult education goes beyond CD-ROM and computer-based training. It uses computers and connectivity to maximum benefit while still offering personal interaction.

For over 35 years, the Canada Safety Council's instructor-led Defensive Driving Course (DDC) has taught drivers how to prevent collisions. The new Green DDC also helps drivers become more environmentally responsible. Now trainees can take the entire course online in French and English.

Advantages of e-Learning
  • Self-Paced - trainees learn at their own speed but everyone is tested the same way.
  • 24/7 Access - e-Learning is available all day, every day via the Internet.
  • Motivation - immediate feedback and individualization; Flash demonstrations add interest.
  • Tracking - the administration component meets occupational safety requirements.
  • Lower Costs - eliminates travel, per diems and learning materials.
  • Ongoing Resource - graduates can continue to use the online knowledge bank.
  • Flexibility - smaller companies and new employees can train as needed.
  • Certification - a wallet card and wall certificate are issued for successful completion.

This course is available to all, from individuals to corporate fleets. Costs depend on the number of participants in your organization taking the course.
