You may not take a VA online driver improvement course to satisfy a VA DMV requirement if:
If either of these conditions apply, you are not eligible to take an online driver improvement course to satisfy a VA DMV requirement. Instead, you must satisfactorily complete a classroom based driver improvement course.
A registration fee, which is specified during the registration process, will be charged to the STUDENT. This fee includes all required instructional materials and needs to be paid prior to course completion.
AAA, hereafter referred to as the COURSE PROVIDER, offers a course composed of nine (9) training units, which is required by Virginia law to span 8 hours in length. To comply with this law, we (and all other online driver improvement schools) are required to place timers on each page of the course. We understand that some students may read faster than the timer will permit you to advance, but state regulations prohibit us from changing or disabled the timers for any reason. Once the online course has been successfully completed and the in-person final exam passed, a completion certificate will be mailed to the student. The course will be available to the STUDENT 24-hours a day, 7-days a week. This availability may be affected by circumstances such as, but not limited to: system, site or connectivity failure over which the COURSE PROVIDER has no control.
Due to VA DMV program requirements, you are required to take your Virginia Driver Improvement Program Final Exam in person, at one of our designated Testing Locations. Please note your final exam will be administered electronically using YOUR smartphone, tablet or laptop. Therefore, you must bring a smartphone, tablet or laptop – that has cellular network connectivity or Wi‐Fi capabilities, with you to your AAA testing location. Wi‐Fi enabled devices can access the Internet using AAA's wireless network.
You must bring the following with you to your AAA test location:
Failure to bring either of these items may result in you not being allowed to complete your final exam.
A AAA Virginia Driver Improvement Program Certificate will be sent to the student by standard mail (USPS). AAA will report the student's completion of the course to the Virginia DMV within 1 business day.
The COURSE PROVIDER prescribes minimum hardware and software requirements for completing the course. Minimum browser requirements are the use of Microsoft Internet Explorer (MSIE) 9.0 or greater, Firefox, Google Chrome, or any other browsers that provide equal or greater functionality. The browsers need to support Java and JavaScript. The minimum hardware required is such that it should be able to support the software configuration listed above. The course requires the use of a pointing device such as a mouse. The course recommends that the hardware be equipped with speakers. All students will go through the software evaluation after registration, but prior to the start of the course.
The STUDENT agrees to complete all phases of the approved curriculum in order to receive a completion certificate. Any time missed must be made up. The COURSE PROVIDER is prohibited from issuing a certificate if the STUDENT has not met all the requirements for course completion and a STUDENT shall not accept a certificate under such circumstances. STUDENT may be required to pay fees to COURSE PROVIDER if through no fault of COURSE PROVIDER, STUDENT requests a duplicate and/or reissue of the original certificate of completion.
The STUDENT agrees that they may not be certified or given credit for the course unless they spend at least 8-hours in the online course and score 80% or higher on the final exam. A STUDENT that fails to score at least 80% on the final exam will be required to re-test on another day. Students have five (5) attempts to score an 80% or better to pass the course and can only attempt the final exam once per day. After five (5) failed attempts, the student will fail the AAA Virginia Driver Improvement Program. The final exam must be completed within 180 days of starting the course and in one session. The final exam includes 50 multiple choice course content questions that will be graded immediately after the exam. Students will receive their grade online upon completion.
The STUDENT agrees that HE/SHE, and not any other person, will study the material in its entirety and complete the chapter quizzes and the final exam. It is illegal to attempt to circumvent this online state-approved course or provide false information. If the COURSE PROVIDER discovers that the STUDENT has willfully misrepresented himself or has cheated, the STUDENT will be stopped from taking the course with no refund of the registration fees. In addition, the STUDENT may be prosecuted for perjury and other criminal acts which are punishable by law.
A full refund, minus a $10 processing fee, will be made to any student who cancels the enrollment contract within 15 days of registering for the course and prior to attempting the final examination. The COURSE PROVIDER will terminate, without notice, the enrollment of any student who has not successfully completed the course within 180 days. All registration fees paid are due and refundable when the course of instruction is discontinued by the COURSE PROVIDER, preventing a student from completing the course, or the enrollment of the student was procured as a result of any misrepresentation in advertising, promotional materials of the COURSE PROVIDER, or representation made by the owner or employee of the COURSE PROVIDER. All refunds will be issued within 30 days following receipt of a permissible request for cancellation.
