About the Course
Our Virginia 8-hour online driver improvement course is broken down
into easy-to-manage modules that are accessible through our Student
Center navigation page. This "table of contents" allows you to monitor
your progress through the course and to access previously completed course
material for review.
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles requires that students take a
minimum of 8 hours to complete a driver improvement course. We employ
timers to ensure that this requirement is met. If you're a speed reader,
we encourage you use the extra time to go back and review the material.
(Note: Do not navigate away from the browser window displaying
the curriculum pages (by closing the window or by using your browser's
"back" button or the backspace key), or the timer will reset and your
progress will not be recorded!)
Because the DMV requires that we verify student identity, you'll be asked
"personal validation questions" before you start the course. These are
simple yes/no questions, such as "Have you every gone skydiving?". You will
be asked these questions again periodically throughout the course, and the
answer you provide must match your original answer.
Finally, to successfully complete the course, students must pass a final
exam with a minimum score of 80%. But don't worry — it's not rocket
science, and we help you to prepare with short quizzes at the end of each
chapter. The DMV requires that students take the final exam at an approved
testing facility; to find a convenient location, click here.
Virginia Online Traffic School notifies you immediately of your
graduation, and we electronically report your completion to the DMV.
You may also order an official copy of your student Certificate of
Completion when you register for the course. If experience a problem with
completion reporting, please contact one of our friendly customer service
representatives at 1-800-252-6551 or at vacustomersupport@trafficeducation.net.
