Damon Hogan is Program Administrator of Driver Training Solutions LLC and has 23 years of Virginia Driver Improvement and traffic-safety education experience.
His professional background includes the AAA Driver Improvement Program, National Safety Council Training Center resources, classroom Driver Improvement, RADEP program administration and extensive experience helping Virginia drivers understand the course they were actually instructed to complete.
Driver Improvement expertise is built through years of teaching, administering programs, working with students and learning where misunderstandings most often occur.
Damon Hogan's work in Driver Improvement spans 23 years of classroom instruction, student interaction and program administration.
That experience includes teaching drivers who attend voluntarily, drivers directed by the Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles, students ordered by Virginia courts and students completing Driver Improvement as part of a larger reckless/aggressive-driving education requirement.
Experience at this level is useful because many student problems do not begin with the course material itself. They begin with choosing the wrong program, misunderstanding court paperwork, assuming that every course has the same safe-driving-point effect or confusing standard Driver Improvement with RADEP.
Driver Training Solutions uses that experience to provide straightforward course-selection guidance before the student makes an avoidable registration mistake.
Damon Hogan's Driver Improvement background includes professional experience with the AAA Driver Improvement Program and the concepts taught through AAA's instructor-certification system.
AAA's Driver Improvement instructor-certification program includes classroom preparation addressing the development and field testing of the Driver Improvement Program and the driver decision-making process.

Driver Training Solutions' professional traffic-safety background also incorporates National Safety Council defensive-driving training resources and behavior-focused driver education.

National Safety Council Defensive Driving →National Safety Council describes Attitudinal Dynamics of Driving as a behavior-based course for drivers with multiple traffic violations, poor driving habits or patterns of risky and aggressive driving behavior.
