What is the Virginia 12-hour RADEP course?
RADEP is the Reckless and Aggressive Driver Education Program.
The complete program provides twelve hours of driver education,
combining general Driver Improvement concepts with additional
education focused on reckless and aggressive driving behavior.
Is this the complete 12-hour RADEP program?
Yes. This page is for the complete standalone 12-hour online RADEP
course for students whose requirement permits online completion.
Is this also called a 12-hour driving class or 12-hour reckless driving class?
Those are common search phrases people use when looking for RADEP.
Course requirements should still be determined from the exact
instructions issued by your court, attorney or other referring
authority.
Will my Virginia court accept an online RADEP course?
Acceptance can vary. Confirm that your court, attorney or other
referring authority permits a complete online 12-hour RADEP course
before registering.
Can I complete the course on my own schedule?
The online course provides flexible access and allows students to
leave and return while progressing through the required material.
Make sure you allow enough time to complete the program before any
deadline you have been given.
Can I use a phone, tablet or computer?
The course is designed for internet-connected devices. Use a device
and connection that allow you to comfortably complete the lessons,
quizzes and required course material.
How do I receive my certificate?
After successful completion, your completion certificate is
processed and sent to you by email. Follow the instructions issued
to you for submitting proof of completion.
Does this course give me +5 Virginia DMV safe-driving points?
No. The standalone 12-hour online RADEP course does not award
Virginia DMV +5 safe-driving points.
I already completed an 8-hour Driver Improvement course. Should I buy this course?
Not automatically. If your previous 8-hour completion is accepted
toward your requirement, you may only need the additional 4-hour
RADEP component. Verify that before paying for the complete 12-hour
course.
Is 12-hour online RADEP the same as taking 8-hour online Driver Improvement plus 4-hour online RADEP separately?
They are different course structures. The course on this page is a
standalone complete 12-hour online program. A separate 8-hour plus
4-hour pathway is modular. Follow whichever structure is accepted
for your requirement.
What if I am still not sure which course I need?
Use the Virginia RADEP Course Decision Guide
and compare the exact wording of your requirement. If the
requirement itself remains unclear, verify it before registering.
