OUR PRIORITY IS SAFETY Students, Employees, and Families

At Defensive Driving Academy, we follow CDC guidelines to ensure our employees, students, and cars are safe. Our Employee health is closely monitored, and DDA is always ready to adjust quickly because safety is our #1 priority.

Our DDA cars, door handles, and all controls are thoroughly wiped down and disinfected before and after each lesson and license test.

Our instructors use hand sanitizer before and after every lesson and license test, and every student is given the opportunity to use hand sanitizer before and after as well.

Instructors and students are allowed to wear masks during lessons and license tests if they prefer. Furthermore, unlike most vehicles on the road today, DDA cars are equipped with more expensive HEPA cabin air filters, which eliminate mold, bacteria, and viruses.

Employment Opportunities at DDA

DDA currently has a limited number of teaching positions available. Ideal candidates are those who enjoy helping people, especially young people, and believe they have what it takes to become that next great DDA Coach. Of course, teaching, instructing, or coaching experience of any kind is helpful, but only a great personality and strong desire to mentor young drivers is required. We offer flexible hours, so you can tell us what days and times are best for your schedule each month, or you can earn a higher rate by letting us schedule your hours.

Our starting rates are always more competitive than Walmart, Target, Costco, Amazon and Lowes, and DDA is the only company that offers time-and-a-half and double-time to its part-time employees. We also offer an unprecedented part-time 401k with 3% match and profit sharing for qualified employees who work 20 or more hours per week.

At the Defensive Driving Academy, Inc. we aim to continually bridge the gaps between teaching, coaching, and retraining drivers of every skill level through the following principle:
