Defensive Driving Training
Defensive Driving is a driving technique that incorporates knowledge and skill with safety by enabling motorists to anticipate potential hazards and make proactive, rather than reactive, maneuvers to avoid those dangers. By anticipating potential hazards and making safe decisions, drivers reduce their risks and improve their overall safe-driving skills.
The purpose of the online Defensive Driving Training is to provide state employees with safe driving tips that help reduce the risk of a collision which could cause financial loss, injury, or death as a result. This online course is highly encouraged for all FSU faculty, staff, and students seeking to improve their offensive and defensive driving skills. Additional training is available and encouraged for those operating university vans.

FDOT Defensive Driving Refresher Training Now Available!
We have now added the FDOT Defensive Driving refresher training module to the LMS. This training is approximately 30 minutes in length and is a great way to offer employees the opportunity to reinforce key learning concepts from the initial FDOT Defensive Driving training course. To access this refresher training, please register at the following link: https://stats.myfloridacfo.com/. The single-server log on for DFS employees is not currently working at this time, so if you are a DFS employee, you will need to go through the registration process to access the training. PLEASE NOTE: Training must be completed within one session. Leaving the session prior to completion will cause all progress to be lost, and the session will need to be restarted.
After you view the training, a Course Exam and Course Evaluation are required before your Course Certificate will be available. You are required to obtain the Course Certificate to get credit for the course. If you have any questions about the training, please contact Izabela Zbyrowska at 954-708-5078.
