New NSC Defensive Driving New York 6-hour 10th Edition Course Transition
- When Training Center’s transition from the old New York DDC 6-hour to the new DDC 10th Edition NY PIRP 6-hour course, the Training Center must purchase each instructor either a full Instructor Resource Kit (includes the multimedia) OR they have an option just to buy an Instructor Manual (which doesn’t include any multimedia)
- The new DDC 10th Edition Instructor Resource Kit (IRK) will contain all the materials needed to teach the New York 6-hour PIRP program (6-hour Instructor Manual, USB or DVD multimedia, Course Guide sample, Completion Certificate sample)
- Each Instructor must have their own kit/manual; Instructors are NOT allowed to share Instructor Resource Kits
- Multimedia comes in two options: USB option requires a computer (Windows PC or Mac) to play; the DVD option requires an external DVD player
- Existing Instructors are “transitioned” over to the 10th Edition once the Training Center purchases your kit/manual. Once you have your teaching material, we highly encourage you to watch the webinar
- Future new DDC PIRP instructors are required to become certified through a new process: All Instructor Development Courses are offered via NSC University e-Learning Instructor Development Course (eIDC). This eIDC will be required for all new instructors joining after March 31, 2021. Existing New York DDC 6-hour instructors that are transitioning are not required to take this eIDC.
- New York eLearning Instructor Development Course (eIDC) has five Sessions and takes about 13 hours to complete. You can complete the course from any computer with internet access.
- Session 1 (3 hours): Principles of Teaching Defensive Driving
- Session 2 (3 hours): How to Best Facilitate a Classroom Defensive Driving Course
- Session 3 (2 hours plus book reading required): How to change driver behavior through The psychology of Choice Theory
- Session 4 (4 hours): Comprehensive walk-through of the Defensive Driving 10th Edition program
- Session 5 (1 hour): Details regarding New York state-specific materials
IMPORTANT: NSC will make Sessions 4 and 5 available at no cost to any transitioning New York 6-hour instructor during the transition period through March 31, 2021.
- In addition to the 13 hours of eLearning, the instructor is required to complete the 6-hour classroom course and then team teach 2 classes for a total of 18 additional hours before being certified to teach the NY 6-hour PIRP course.
