Become an In-Person Driver Improvement Curriculum Vendor

Background

Pursuant to Va. Code § 46.2-490, the driver improvement clinic program shall be established for the purpose of instructing persons identified by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) and the court system as problem drivers in need of driver improvement education and training and for those drivers interested in improved driving safety. 

The Virginia Code grants the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) the authority to contract with entities to develop curricula for persons in need of driver improvement education and training and for those drivers interested in improved driving safety.

Vendors must apply to DMV to offer their in-person driver improvement course curriculum in the Commonwealth based on criteria established by the Department. The curriculum must be approved by DMV before it can be utilized by an online driver improvement course provider.
