Advanced Drivers Education Products & Training, Inc. (ADEPT Driver) is a research and instructional technology company that designs and markets multimedia products that measurably reduce automobile crashes. The company was founded in 1995 by Allstate Insurance Company, Sylvan Learning Systems and Dr. Richard Harkness, who serves as the company’s president and CEO. In 2002, Dr. Harkness acquired controlling interest of ADEPT Driver and the company now operates independently.

As indicated by the graph at right, the high incidence of automobile crashes, particularly among teen and senior drivers, points to the need to re-engineer conventional driver training programs. ADEPT has long viewed this destruction of lives and property as a national tragedy, and has dedicated itself to establishing an entirely new approach to driver’s education.

ADEPT has identified the critical driving and social factors that empirically relate to teen driver crashes. The Company's goal is to design and develop a platform of superior driver safety products, drawing on the resources of the Company’s strategic partners, and a scholarly Advisory Council of world-recognized experts in traffic safety, behavioral science and instructional technology. Today, ADEPT stands at the forefront of driver training by providing the most technologically and scientifically advanced driver training products available.

ADEPT’s mission is to be the world leader in advanced drivers education and training. The Company strives for leadership not only in revenue size and market share, but also in the proven effectiveness of its products to avoid auto crashes and save lives.

ADEPT recognizes that, in order to achieve its mission, the Company must have an ongoing commitment to improve its products through continuous evaluation and analysis of empirical data. ADEPT is seriously committed to product evaluation and research that advances the effectiveness of our programs. As you can see, we are a high-growth company with a bright future and a solid history. We hope you will join us in our crusade to reduce car crashes and become an ADEPT Driver strategic partner.
