Defensive Driving

School and Instructor Certification Information

Congratulations on your decision to join the team of elite professionals which make up the Defensive Driving School organization in Arizona.

NOTIFICATION:
The Defensive Driving Tracking System (DDTS) will be taken down on Friday May 3rd from 4:00 P.M. until 8:00 P.M. (MST) for planned system enhancements.

For the past several months, defensive driving staff at the AOC have been updating you on the progress of DDTS enhancements and testing including updates at school owner’s meetings.  In addition, schools were given an opportunity to test the enhancements that affected them.  Testing was held at the Supreme Court on March 15, 2013, and no problems were identified by the schools that chose to participate in the testing.  The AOC is now ready to implement the following enhancements:

1.    Refund requests on registration records will now be requested and processed in DDTS.  

2.    Acknowledging a court reject record without checking “No Action Required” will take you directly to the student’s record.

3.    The State dropdown list In the Check Eligibility screen will default to “Not Specified”.

4.    The optional Calendar Tool for birth date data entry fields will no longer be available. All birth dates will need to be entered manually.

We very much appreciate your patience during this outage and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Registration for the Defensive Driving Instructor Training for 2013 is now open. 

Training will be held at the Judicial Education Center in Phoenix, AZ on the following dates:

July 12, 2013 and August 23, 2014
