Advent eLearning delivers two superb traffic, and driving safety-related courses: the Defensive Driving course and the Advent Learning Traffic Safety Course, a Traffic Misdemeanor course. It’s part of their extensive catalog of behavioral driving education.
The Defensive Driving course is an expansion of the successful Traffic Safety behavioral driving instruction and includes more accident avoidance scenarios. The course teaches drivers to improve their driving performance in common scenarios, develop behavioral best practices for driving in hazardous conditions, and improve driving attitudes and habits. In addition, it teaches drivers behavioral strategies for avoiding collisions with bicyclists and pedestrians, strategies for inclement driving scenarios, and parking, backing, and avoiding road hazards.
The Advent Learning Traffic Safety Course. the Traffic Misdemeanor course, on the other hand, combines behavioral driving instruction with anti-social intervention programming to address vehicular misdemeanors beyond vehicle code enforcement. The four-hour course covers topics such as excessive speeding, reckless driving, driving on suspended licenses, and driving without insurance. It also includes Corrective Thinking evidence-based programming for changing anti-social thoughts and behaviors based on principles of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (cognitive restructuring).
The Advent eLearning Traffic Safety program has been used by prosecutors across the country for nearly a decade in citation diversion, deferral, and reduction programs. In states like Kentucky, New York, Indiana, and Louisiana, prosecutors depend on Advent eLearning to provide an end-to-end, online solution for high-volume citation processing, including marketing, document management, eligibility review, online education, fee disbursement, and case filing and adjudication. These programs allow prosecutors to improve the road safety of their communities while providing a source of revenue to help fund prosecution operations and other critical community organizations.
Advent eLearning’s Traffic Safety Course use behavioral driving instruction methodology, which has been key to their success. Developed by Gold Cross Safety Corporation, the Traffic Safety course is a succinct one-hour program that focuses on aggressive driving behavior such as speeding, tailgating, traffic control device violations, lane-space violations, and distracted driving. Driver behavior is what the driver chooses to do with their knowledge, skill, perceptual and cognitive abilities, making behavioral training critical in sanctioning environments where the goal is to change defendant behavior towards safer streets.
Gold Cross Safety Corporation is a leading provider of fleet driving training services, serving over 200 of the Fortune 1000 companies in the U.S. In its 25-year history, Gold Cross has successfully trained over 2.5 million adult drivers in its behavioral driving strategies.
The courses offered by Advent eLearning, including the Advent Learning Traffic Safety Course, are available to offenders using most any Internet-enabled device, so there is no overhead involved with complex classroom scheduling or cumbersome physical workbook distribution. The courses also allow for Internet browser language translation and closed-captioned video to accommodate education in most any language, as well as compatibility with assistive technology for hearing and sight-impaired users.
Finally, Advent eLearning courses can be delivered to offenders under either an offender-paid model or an agency-paid model. Offenders can pay online for their courses under the offender-paid model, while agencies can have course costs invoiced if they have grant or other funding sources available under the agency-paid model. These models can also be utilized together, requiring most offenders to pay for their courses themselves but invoicing agencies in juvenile or indigent cases. The eLearning platform also includes robust tools for reporting and data extraction so that agency users can measure success metrics of the program including participation, completion, and recidivism.
Advent eLearning’s behavioral driving courses, such as the Advent Learning Traffic Safety Course, is a testament to their commitment to improving road safety and changing driver behavior. The Defensive Driving course and Traffic Misdemeanor course are an impressive set of courses that are part of an already impressive catalog of Advent eLearning’s behavioral driving education courses.
