Become a Street-Talk Defensive Driving Provider

Some things to consider before becoming a Street talk provider.

Do you have some experience in marketing and access to a reliable source of new clients? The minimum number of students you need to be able to run a course is four students.

Do you have an “I” Instructor endorsement to do the practical sessions in the course? If not, you will need to get a qualified “I” endorsed Instructor to do the practical sessions for you.

Do you have good computer skills in Power Point and Excel, as these programs are used on the course. You will also need a data projector or TV monitor to present with.

Do you have access to a suitable venue?

To become an Advanced Course (Street-Talk defensive driving) provider you will need to complete the following steps:

Step 1 – Complete a Street Talk course with one of the providers and gain a certificate of completion. (This will give you an overview of the programme and help you decide if you want to facilitate the programme) A list of providers can be found on this website at the bottom of the home page.
