The Professional Driver Improvement Course (PDIC): Instructor Training Course, is a six-day course of advanced, driver education designed to certify successful participants as Alberta Transportation (AT) licensed PDIC instructors. This course is scheduled on an as-needed basis.

Training is completed with the information required to successfully manage a student’s progression through the course, to completion. Once certified, participants will be able to book classes, register students, and instruct AMTA’s PDIC training program – all through the ‘instructor dashboard’ in the AMTA’s Learning Management System (LMS).

The course enables successful graduates to teach AMTA’s PDIC program for their employer, and to provide both a PDIC Certificate and a Notice of Driver Education Course Completion. The combination of these two achievements permit drivers with an Alberta license to remove up to three demerits from their driving record. A PDIC course can be taken once every two years; however, Long Combination Vehicle (LCV) drivers are required to take a PDIC course once every 48 months.
