How long does it take to obtain a defensive driving certificate?
Complete Defensive Driving
First, it depends on the traffic school. Defensive driving courses could vary in length, and different states might require a different amount of classroom hours for drivers to receive a defensive driving certificate. For instance, drivers in Wisconsin looking to have points from a speeding ticket reduced must attend a 15-hour classroom only course. Whereas a typical online traffic school will take approximately six to eight hours.
And second, it depends on you. If you enroll in an online traffic school or defensive driving, you'll enjoy the luxury of completing at your own pace. You can finish the course in one sitting and have your defensive driving certificate by the end of the day. Or you can take two weeks, if you so choose. Keep in mind that if you've been court-ordered to enroll in a course, you will be required to complete the class by a specific date set by the court.
Receive A Defensive Driving Certificate
Upon completion of an online traffic school course the school will either e-mail, fax or mail your certificate to either you or the court. More often than not the court will decide the submission method. If the certificate is sent to you, you'll be responsible for delivering it to the court in a timely fashion. The quicker the court gets the certificate the quicker your traffic ticket or speeding ticket could be dismissed or reduced.
