Yes. Drivers between the ages of 15 and 24 who have received two violations within 24 months, or who received a citation under the Zero Tolerance Law, are required by the State of Illinois to complete the Graduate to Safety Driver Remedial Education course as a condition for reinstatement of Driver’s License or Permit following suspension.
How do I know if I am required to complete this course?
If you are required by the State of Illinois to complete the course, the Illinois Secretary of State Driver Services Department will mail you a notification letter.
How long is the course and what should I expect?
National Safety Council presents the course in one 4-hour Virtual Instructor-Led Training session, including one 15-minute break. This highly interactive intervention program zeroes in on drivers ages 16 to 25 – the group most likely to be involved in a fatal collision. This course uses workbook exercises, group discussions, role-playing and short lectures to help keep young drivers safe on the road.

How do I access my virtual training class and what do I have to bring?
You must attend class in a distraction-free environment and must stay in a single location throughout the duration of class.
AT LEAST 30 MINUTES BEFORE the scheduled start time of your class, click on the virtual training classroom link in your confirmation email.
For your privacy, class check-in is completed on an individual basis. Please enter your first name and the first initial of your last name (as shown in your confirmation email) and your email address when prompted. Then, click “Join Meeting.” You will wait in the "lobby" of your virtual training classroom until it is your turn to be admitted and checked-in by the moderator. You may be waiting for 30 minutes or more. Please be patient. If you get logged off, simply click on the link in your confirmation email again and go back to the virtual training classroom.
During check-in, be prepared to show:
If you do not have your course guide, or if you are unable to provide identification, you will not be admitted to your virtual training class and will need to reschedule. A mandatory rescheduling fee of $90 will apply.
After you are checked in, you will be placed back into the "lobby" of your virtual training classroom while the check-in process is completed for all students. Once everyone is checked in, all students will be brought back into the virtual training classroom from the "lobby" and class will begin.
What happens if I log into my virtual training class late?
You are required to begin the check-in process at least 30 minutes prior to the scheduled class start time to provide identification and show that you are prepared with the required course materials. If you attempt to check in after class has begun, you will not be admitted to the virtual training classroom and will need to visit www.ddcnsc.org/IL to reschedule. A mandatory $90 rescheduling fee will apply.
What happens if I lose connection during my Virtual Training class?
If you are disconnected at any time during your virtual training class, immediately click on the virtual training classroom link in your confirmation email to re-enter the class. You must attend the entire virtual training class to receive credit. If you are disconnected and do not return to class, or miss an excessive amount of class time due to technical difficulties or other reasons, you will need to reschedule your class. A mandatory rescheduling fee of $90 will apply. All course fees are non-refundable. Refunds will not be granted for failure to attend or complete your virtual training class due to technical issues.
Is there a test at the end of the course?
Yes, the course includes a 10-question test. Drivers must score 70% or above to successfully complete the course. You will have two attempts to pass the test.
How will the Secretary of State know that I have completed the Driver Remedial Education course?
After you successfully complete the course, National Safety Council electronically transmits your program completion information to the Illinois Secretary of State the following business day.
What is the refund/cancellation policy?
What if English is not my first language?
All of our classes are in English unless otherwise noted. If you need assistance with translation, you are welcome to have someone with you to provide support during the class. They must be over the age of 18 and provide proper identification.
