Young Driver and Passenger Course
Too many young drivers and passengers are at risk of dying or being seriously injured on our roads. If you feel unsafe as a driver or passenger in a car, don’t be afraid to ‘speak out’: it could save your life or your mates’ lives too.
Our goal is to educate young drivers and passengers so that they become safer road users. To do this, our team offer award winning virtual Young Driver and passenger Courses to all schools in Kent.
The course has been recognised with the 2024 Prince Michael International Road Safety Award for its outstanding achievement and innovation.
Designed with Years 12 and 13 in mind, our sessions build awareness and challenge young driver’s perceptions of road safety.
What we offer:
The Young Driver and Passenger course programme provides participant schools with:
- Four virtual sessions, each of which are around 40 minutes, plus the fifth live Q&A Presentation session.
- The flexibility to access the virtual programme, with 1 or 2 sessions a week or all the sessions as a drop-down day.
- Our Young Driver & Passenger workbook.
- Teacher Support Plan document for sessions 1-4.
- Our Young Driver & Passenger answer book to help you guide and support your learners.
- Quick knowledge checks and reflection challenges to help your learners consider how to best put their learning into practice.

The KCC Road safety team are offering this free 5-part Young Driver and Passenger Course to all Kent Schools.
The course specifically supports young people to understand the key skills required for driving, but it has been written to compliment the Speak Out campaign, designed to empower those young people as passengers too.
Our engaging road safety courses help change the behaviours of young drivers and passengers, making the roads a safer place for everyone.
