How does this course work?

You can complete this course in four easy steps:

1. Make sure you are eligible to take the course. If you are taking the course for ticket dismissal, you must receive permission from your court. If you are taking the course for point reduction, you must have received a letter from the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security letting you know you are eligible to complete a 4-hour traffic school course for point reduction. If you are taking the course for an insurance discount, make sure your insurance provider allows this and find out from them how much the discount will be for.
2. Register. Registration is quick and easy. Create an account with your username and password, fill out your contact information, read our course policies, and make payment. That's it! You're ready to get started.
3. Complete the course. Our 4-hour course is divided up into short lessons full of games, stories, and videos to make your learning experience fun and engaging. At the end of each lesson is a 5-question multiple-choice quiz. You must answer 4 of the 5 questions correctly to pass and proceed to the next lesson. We allow unlimited retakes, so you can retake the quiz until you pass. There is no final exam at the end of the course. Once you pass the last lesson quiz, you're done!
4. Get your certificate. We will email you your Certificate of Completion immediately when you complete the course.

Why is this course sometimes referred to as a "Driver Education" course?

The "technical" name for this course according to the Tennessee Department of Safety and Homeland Security is the "4-hour Driver Education course." That is just how the Department sometimes refers to the course. We know that can be confusing because the term "driver education" often refers to the course teen drivers take to get their license. However, this course is really a traffic school course and is often referred to as "traffic school" by the Department and others.
