Adult Enrichment Personal Interest
Adult Enrichment Defensive Driving
55+ Defensive Driving
Important update regarding 55+ accident prevention courses: During the 2024 legislative session, a change was made to the Accident Prevention Course Rule. Effective July 1, 2024, the new rule states that the course must be a total of at least 4 hours. This means that a first-time participant can take a 4-hour course as their initial training – the 8-hour course will no longer be a requirement. We are therefore only offering the 4-hour course both online and in person.
Improve your driving skills and get a 10% discount on your car insurance for 3 years! The Defensive Driving Course, developed by the National Safety Council, teaches basic crash prevention techniques, and has a proven record of reducing traffic violations and incidents. There is no behind-the-wheel driving or test. You can take the course every 3 years to continue your discount. Preregistration is required at least 2 weeks prior to the class date. Call 651-604-3770 or register online. In person classes are held at Aŋpétu Téča Education Center.
