ABOUT THIS COURSE
The Expanded Driver Awareness program is available to students who are 15-1/2 and older who want to qualify for their permit. It includes four hours of intensive classroom instruction and the written permit test. The class is designed to engage students through interactive learning as we help them become safe decision-makers. We focus on building their confidence through a positive approach to the responsibility of driving. While this program contains abbreviated lessons taught in our 30-hour classroom course, it should not be considered the equivalent of our comprehensive program and may not qualify for insurance discounts. Add Behind-the-Wheel Lessons to take advantage of the safety benefits of Hands-on Training, and Save!
Testimonials
Kayla B, Highlands Ranch
My daughter rode with Paul today. She was very nervous about the drive and he helped her settle down quickly and have a good experience. Your entire staff is wonderful and we’ve had a great experience with every part of the process.

Joette M, Aurora
Love the friendly staff and ease of making appointments. My daughter has had Larry Soady as a driver instructor twice and he is so patient and kind. So glad that you opened back up and she can take her driving test tomorrow since her birthday passed already in April.
Mary P, Highlands Ranch
The instructors have all been amazing. The communication from DriveSafe during this interesting time with Covid has been great. When we arrived for my daughter’s last 2 hour drive, they instructor met us outside, was friendly and my daughter had a lot of fun on her drive. Great experience every time! We are very pleased and will enroll our son at the end of this year or beginning of 2021.
Aimee B, Highlands Ranch
During the COVID 19 shut down, Drive Safe was very communicative. Instead of me having to hunt down information, I received detailed emails and phone calls regarding the re-scheduling of activities. The agents on the phone showed empathy and a deep desire to help.

We have had a great experience with both of my sons.

Elizabeth, Wheat Ridge
I thought all the instructors did a very good job throughout the course of the day. They were all very informative, explained everything well, and I learned a lot at each station. My favorite part of the class was the skid course and the obstacle course, because both were really fun as well as good to know/use for the future.
Parent, Highlands Ranch
My daughter attended the Defensive Skills Day and it went well. I got to ride with her at the end when I returned, and I have to admit, I was very shocked at how much she improved! She drove me through the timed obstacle course and her skill level blew me away. She said she has much more confidence in driving now. This course is very well worth the money and I highly recommend it to all parents.

I enjoyed the course. I enjoyed that you can go at your own pace and never have to leave the house. No weaknesses.

I liked how you could use it with the iPad. The course is easy to take and is divided into smaller chunks so that you can take it one part at a time.
Maya D., Student, Evergreen
The customer support via phone call was outstanding, and the staff did a wonderful job of answering any questions I or my family may have had. It was a beneficial experience.
Noah N, Colorado
The online class, I feel, did an excellent job of teaching me the required skills for driving. The class was easy to follow yet challenging enough for me to learn new things. The online class was, in my opinion, great in teaching me to drive.
Parent, Colorado
In comparison to the one my son took beDrivingAmerica was a lot better. My daughter enjoyed and really understood this more. Very great online class. I would recommend this to anyone.
Lindsey N., Colorado
I felt that the course provided a lot of material to help me understand driving better.
Anthony, Colorado
I liked the course. It taught me things I’ve never heard of like the IPDE process. Some strengths are they go in to good detail when explaining things. The chapter quizzes were good too because it keeps your mind refreshed about what you just learned. There wasn’t really any bad things. I think over all it’s a really good course.
Beckett, Greenwood Village
The commentators and the overall welcoming atmosphere of the course was nice. Also the layout is easy to use. I recommend this course.
Daniel, Colorado
Really liked the course. Strengths: the way it was presented made it really interesting. I learned alot. NO WEAKNESSES.
Hannah P, Colorado
I really enjoyed the course. I felt like it was very easy to go through all the chapters, videos, pages, etc. I thought the review was really helpful at the end of each chapter.
Joshua T., Colorado
“The course was quite enjoyable. One of my favorite parts of the course was that I could complete it at my own pace at home. This required me to be responsible in completing the course and retaining the information, which I liked. The tests after every chapter also helped in the retention of information…”
Ramsey, Head of School
“We utilized your DriveSafe training program for eight of our teachers so that they could drive our new 15 passenger van. The feedback about the program was quite positive. We would definitely use your services again!”
Casey, Coordinator
“DriveSafe Driving School was a great experience from setting up the training, customizing to our needs, to affordability and the actual bus training. They accommodated our every need and made all the effort to make our teachers comfortable driving our buses. They came to us which made the whole experience seamless. Thank you for making our experience easy and we will absolutely be using DriveSafe Driving Schools for all our bus training.”
James, Field Safety Lead
“In order to enhance the safety training of our staff, we contacted DriveSafe to provide an upgrade on their driving abilities. The session consisted of classroom and in-vehicle time. Our instructor, Ken, made the classroom session enjoyable and easy to sit through, which was much appreciated and refreshing as the classroom sessions are typically dry and uninteresting. The in-vehicle session was a great reminder of the how we can all end up with some bad habits and how to correct them. We will definitely use DriveSafe again for training as the need arises.”
Participant
“The staff was very courteous, patient, and helpful during the driving training.”
