"Proof of Submission" Pricing

Due to rising administrative costs, Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) will be adjusting the price of our "Proof of DMV Submission" service upgrade for California online traffic violator school (TVS) students. The new pricing will be effective on Monday, September 1, 2014; all payment functionality will be updated accordingly.

The 1-2-3s of Easy Marketing

Not every marketing push needs razzle dazzle. In many cases, the clearer, more concise, and engaging the marketing message is, the more effective its reach might be in driving sales.

Attract Customers with Magnetic Signs

Apply a magnetic sign to the outside of your vehicle to reach more people in your local area. Doing so will allow you to target customers who might not otherwise be aware of your business. In addition, the magnetic sign could serve as a reminder to customers who've taken your courses in the past that your business is still up and running.

Where to Purchase

High-quality car-door magnets and customizable bumper stickers are available with full-color printing through local and online printing companies. Personalize the magnets with your business name, contact information, and slogan, if applicable.

Word-of-Mouth

Word of mouth is another key factor in grassroots marketing. Encourage your customers to post to social media about their experience with your school and tell others how easy your course is to complete. You may want to offer a discount or partial refund for customers who bring in referrals.

Business Reviews

Business review sites like Yelp and CitySearch make it easy for customers to post online business reviews. Other popular sites include: InsiderPages, YahooLocal, and JudysBook.

Using simple, affordable grassroots marketing, you can affordably target customers in your area without a lot of bells and whistles. (Just don’t forget to reward those who have spread the word about your business along the way!)

Instructor Continuing Education

As part of the ongoing efforts by Traffic Safety Consultants, Inc., (TSC) to provide our affiliated partners with not only the highest-quality curriculum materials, but also unsurpassed ease of operation, we are pleased to announce the availability of our new online Traffic Violator Instructor Continuing Education Seminar!

What Is It?

The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) allows traffic school instructors to substitute proof of participation in traffic safety seminars or courses, consisting of a minimum of 18 hours of instruction, in lieu of passing a DMV-administered written examination when renewing their license every three years (CCR §§345.23, 345.24). TSC's DMV-licensed 6-hour continuing professional education program, when completed annually, is intended to fulfill that requirement of traffic violator instructor (TVI) license renewal. We'll even send a yearly reminder email with a discount code to ensure that instructors keep up on their attendance.

The easy-to-read curriculum material is revised annually to incorporate legislative changes, so teachers can remain up-to-date on California traffic laws. And the course makes available useful supplemental materials that will help instructors to stay current with the latest teaching techniques and safe-driving information. Further, user accounts never lose access, so the program can be used as a valuable resource for traffic violator school (TVS) curriculum content and procedural information.

Am I Eligible?

All TVSs—even those that offer only Internet or home study programs—are required to have a licensed instructor available to answer students' course-specific questions (CVC §11202; CCR §345.36(c), (d)). This program, therefore, is beneficial for each and every traffic school in California!

If your TVI license is up for renewal soon, you'll need to head to an Occupational Licensing office to take a DMV-administered exam. Because you'll need a total of three continuing education completion certificates, one earned each year over of the term of your TVI license, you won't have enough time to accumulate certificates before your renewal is due.

If you've recently renewed your license, however, you can start accumulating certificates now. You should complete a continuing professional education seminar once every calendar year. You'll need a total of three certificates, one earned annually, to turn in with your instructor license renewal paperwork, in lieu of passing the DMV-administered exam.

How Do I Take Advantage?

To complete the online Traffic School Instructor Continuing Education Seminar, simply browse to TrafficSchoolInstructorCourse.com, register, and get started! We'll send your official certificate via regular mail upon your successful completion of the course. Be sure to file your completion certificate in a safe place where you'll be able to find it again when you need it, as you'll need a total of three certificates (accumulating one each year for three years) in order to take advantage of the continuing education option when renewing your TVI license. (In case of a natural disaster or general forgetfulness, you can always order duplicate certificates by contacting our customer service department.)

As a special service to our affiliates, TSC is making this online program available for just $9.95 (regularly $49.95). To get the course at this special, affiliate-only pricing, simply enter the coupon code (please see your e-mailed notification about this course) on the payment page and click the "Apply" button; your payment total will be updated with the new amount.

If you have any questions about this excellent new benefit from TSC, please contact Chris (via email or by calling 800 . 487 . 1699) or Tara (via email or by calling 800 . 863 . 2590).
