4-hour Defensive Driving classroom course

Currently open to all ages - even licensed drivers!  Many insurance companies offer a discount after completion. 

Effective January 1, 2027, this class will be required for students aged 18-20 to get a permit. Students under 17 years and 11 months old will not be eligible to attend for permit purposes.

The Expanded Driving Awareness Program (EDAP) is a 4-hour class approved by the State of Colorado. This class is taught using the National Safety Council EDAP curriculum. This course is similar to “Alive at 25” and will meet state requirements for teens to get their permit at age 15 1/2. STUDENTS MUST BE AT LEAST 15 ½ TO TAKE THE CLASS.

The 4-hour course is conducted in our classroom at 32 N Selig in Montrose, Colorado. The curriculum includes rules and regulations of the road. Students will be made aware of how to use their eyes effectively and how to manage space and time for defensive driving.  Students will be exposed to how to safely share the road with other roadway users. 

As an option, we offer a complementary permit test to all classroom students at the conclusion of every in-person class.

Note: The Expanded Driver Awareness Program and all 30-hour courses will expire if not used to obtain an instruction permit within six months from completion per state statute.
