You set up a training profile before you pay. It asks for more than a normal checkout does - your employer, your role, an emergency contact - because this is a training record, not a shopping cart. It is the file an auditor asks to see, and it is why you can pull your certificate up years from now instead of hunting for a PDF in your email. Give yourself five minutes and do it once.

About the course
What this course covers.
Driving is often the most dangerous thing an office worker, technician or sales representative does all week, and distraction is one of the biggest reasons why. Phones get the attention, and rightly so, but eating, adjusting a navigation screen, reading a work order at a light or simply thinking about the next job all take attention away from the road. Every province now restricts handheld device use while driving, yet distraction remains a leading factor in collisions.
This course is built for the employee driver, not the professional trucker. It starts with the cost of distracted driving, in collisions, injuries and lost lives as well as money. It then explains multi-tasking and distraction: why the brain cannot fully attend to driving and something else at the same time, even when it feels like it can. The dangers of using a cell phone while driving get their own section, because a phone combines visual, manual and mental distraction in one device.
The last two sections are practical. The first covers what to do before you drive to eliminate distractions: setting navigation, silencing the phone, planning calls and organising the vehicle. The second covers how to fight distraction once on the road. A printable student manual is included. Employers use the course as part of a driving policy for anyone who uses a company or personal vehicle for work.

Why it matters for compliance
Every Canadian province restricts the use of handheld electronic devices while driving, and employers whose workers drive for work are expected to treat driving as a workplace hazard. Distracted driving training supports a company driving policy; drivers must still follow the rules of their own province.

Who should take this course?
- Any employee who drives a car, van or small truck for work, whether it is a company vehicle or their own. Professional truck drivers may prefer a commercial defensive driving course.

- No. Phones are covered in their own section, but the course also deals with eating, adjusting controls, reading and mental distraction, and the general problem of multi-tasking behind the wheel.
How much does the course cost?

How long does it take?
- About 30 minutes.
Does the certificate expire?
- No expiry is listed. Many employers refresh driving awareness training every year or two as part of their driving policy.
Is there a version for drivers of larger vehicles?
- Yes. On-Track Safety carries Distracted Driving Prevention and defensive driving courses for small and large vehicles. This course is aimed at everyday employee drivers.
Can an employer make this course part of a driving policy?
