What is Included in teenSMART? 

 

 The complete teenSMART v3.0 program consists of a teenSMART Certification license, program software DVD, Student Workbook, Parent Guide and Parent-Teen Activity Video DVD.  Customers who order an additional certification license at a reduced price will receive only a teenSMART Certification license and a Student Workbook, and must use the software from a complete program.  

 

How Does teenSMART Work? 

There are three elements to the teenSMART program. All are done at your convenience at home:

 

♦    Computer-based driving tutorials (CBTs) are completed on the home computer.  These tutorials provide hands-on, in-depth practice.  Teens are asked to demonstrate specific driving skills and are given immediate, interactive feedback.  The computer software also provides a step-by-step roadmap to guide the teen through the program.

 

♦   Parent-Teen Activities include lively and informative videos, workbook exercises in the Student Workbook and Parent Guide, and in-car driving sessions conducted under parental supervision.  During the driving sessions, teens apply what they have learned during the CBTs to real-world driving situations.

 

♦   A Certification Test completes the program.  Teens receive an ADEPT Driver certification once they pass the test and upload test results to ADEPT Driver.

 

How Long Does teenSMART Take to Complete?  

 

 Estimate ten hours to complete the entire eight-step program. Approximately half of the time is allotted to Parent-Teen Activities, which include in-car driving exercises. Computer time activities and the at-home Certification Test take up the remaining time. Each program step can easily be completed in an hour.

 

How Does the teenSMART Certification Process Work?   

  When the teen has completed Steps 1 - 7, he or she will be allowed to take the Certification Test. Teens may take the test as many times as they need to in order to pass. When the teen has passed both parts of the Certification Test, they will see a message on the computer screen congratulating them and they will be allowed to upload their test results to ADEPT Driver via the internet.

 

Once the test results are sent to ADEPT, they will be uploaded into ADEPT's database and a Certificate of Completion will be generated and sent to the teen by First Class Mail.
