Closed course, hands-on crash prevention training: The training methodology originally derived through European research, has been tested over 20 years by In Control leading major insurers to offer our graduates significant auto policy discounts and organizations like the Boston Police Department to utilize our expertise in training officers.
In 2007, after working with state legislators and department of transportation, In Control became the first state certified Drivers Skills Development Program in the United States and continues to lead the nation crash prevention training today.
Specifically, the training addresses the driving issues that most affect the safety of drivers while on the road. The inclusion of skills was developed after examining insurance and police data to find the most dangerous activities, and assessing the biggest needs.
All of the training is performed in our vehicles, and each hands-on drill is taught in the car one-on-one with one of In Control’s highly qualified instructors.
