The Basic Defensive Driving Course is for individuals who have never taken a defensive driving course before or it has been more than five years since completing a previous defensive driving course. You will receive a 10% discount on your auto insurance for 3 years plus a 3-point driving record DMV credit.
The Refresher/Advanced Defensive Driving Course is for individuals who have completed defensive driving within the last five years. This 3-hour course extends your benefits and increases your insurance discount to 15% with an additional 3-point driving record DMV credit.
The Delaware Department of Motor Vehicle states “The refresher course can be completed no less than two years and six months after the initial defensive driving course, but no more than five years after the initial course.” (more info…)

The Delaware Department of Insurance Regulation 607 requires the Basic course material to be 6 hours in length and the Refresher course material to be 3 hours in length. However, online courses have the advantage over classroom courses by allowing the course takers to complete the course material at their own pace. Save and sign off options are available following the successful completion of each individual chapter. The average time to complete each course chapter is approximately 20 minutes.
Yes we do. In the State of Delaware an Advanced course is the same as the Refresher course. Please go here for more information.
Upon completion of the course, you will immediately be presented with a copy of your certificate to download for you records – and to forward to your insurance company for your discount.

If you need your 3-point credit applied sooner, please contact us to let us know.
