Trusted nationwide by DMVs, insurance companies, and courts, this course is built by IMPROV®, the driving school that pairs behavioral science with real entertainment - because a required course does not have to feel like a punishment. Over 5 million drivers have already taken an IMPROV® course, backed by 200K+ verified customer reviews and a 4.7 average rating on Shopper Approved. Not every line item on a receipt needs an explanation, but this one gets one anyway - because transparency is the whole point of how IMPROV® prices things.
What This Course Includes
Covers the Tennessee state filing cost tied to your course completion, passed through at cost
Flat cost, applied consistently regardless of state or course
No hidden markup layered on top
Explained clearly, not buried in fine print
Support 7 days a week via live chat, phone, or text
This charge covers the Tennessee state filing cost tied to your course completion, passed through at cost - the administrative work that happens after a course is finished, so that completion actually counts for something with the court, DMV, or insurance provider that required it.
How the SPIDER Method™ Works
The course runs on our SPIDER Method™, a behavior-based approach to driver safety built with input from psychologists who study why drivers make the choices they make. You learn to Scan, Predict, Identify, Decide, Execute, and Review every situation in front of you - a habit that catches trouble before it starts, so you leave with habits that stick, not just a certificate.
Built by Writers, Not a Compliance Department
Rather than handing the script to a compliance department, IMPROV® hands it to professional comedy writers - the same instinct that built the Improv Comedy Club into a household name. The result is short video segments, interactive scenarios, and microlearning modules that hold your attention instead of daring you to fall asleep at your keyboard.
Self-Paced: No Timers, No Final Exam
The whole thing runs on your schedule, with no timers forcing you to sit and stare at a screen and no final exam waiting to catch you off guard. Log in from your phone during lunch, pick it up on your laptop that night - it is built to bend around your life, not the other way around.
Plenty of driving schools bury a cost like this inside a confusing pricing structure or spring it on you at checkout with no explanation. IMPROV® would rather just tell you what it is and why it exists, upfront, so nothing about your total feels like a surprise.
Pricing stays upfront the whole way through: no processing fees tacked on at checkout, no surprise charges for a certificate that should already be covered. What you agree to at enrollment is what you are billed.
And if you run into any issue along the way - a login problem, a question about your certificate, or just general confusion about what happens next - real support is available seven days a week through live chat, phone, or text. You are talking to a person who can actually pull up your account, not a ticket number sitting in a queue.
Plenty of courses check a box. This one is built to actually change how you drive, in a fraction of the time you were bracing yourself for.
That is really the whole philosophy: charge fairly, explain clearly, and put the rest of the effort into the course itself.

Will I save more if members of my family take the course?
To maximize your savings, all family members who are a principal driver of a vehicle on the insurance policy can take the course.

How will it work?
It’s simple! Get started now with this free registration. Then complete the course (you’re guaranteed to pass). Once completed, we will mail your Certificate of Completion and report your successful completion to the NY DMV and provide you with a copy you can send to GEIC. Your guaranteed 10% auto insurance discount will apply retroactively to the date you finished your course.
How long is the course?
Our course meets the New York time requirement of 6 hours, but the total course time is 5 ½ hours, with 30 minutes allowed for breaks. The good news is that our course saves your progress as you go, which allows you to complete it at your own pace. You can log in and out as many times as you need without ever losing your progress.
Can I take this course for insurance reduction if I am NOT a GEICO customer?
Yes, most insurance companies will give you a discount on your auto premium for completing a Defensive Driving/Insurance Discount course. In some states, insurance discounts are mandatory for all insurance companies. If you are insured with another carrier, please register here.
