EVOC Instructor - Basic

Our EVOC Instructor Basic course is designed to train officers to instruct students by conducting commentary drives and offering remedial driver training. Officers will be able to teach the laws of physics relating to vehicle motions (which affect vehicle operation) and identify common driving errors, improper attitudes, and unsafe driving techniques. Subject matter experts present our course with interactive exercises and opportunities to practice skills and receive constructive feedback.
