“2021 has been a phenomenal year for us thus far,” said Joe Giammona, CEO of The Driver Training Group. “Looking back 16 months, we have so many successes to be thankful for — and even more to look forward to this year. We plan to utilize the momentum we’ve established and continue to redefine driver’s education and produce the next generation of safe drivers across the country.”

The Driver Training Group was created to make the nation’s roads and highways safer for all drivers, by inspiring, educating, engaging and motivating drivers to perform safely and responsibly behind the wheel. It has developed multiple programs for teens and adults, including government and corporate fleet drivers that go beyond traditional driving lessons or driver’s education courses. Instructors prepare students mentally for driving on the road by helping them understand the driving environment, develop the ability to assess their risks and capabilities in a variety of different driving situations, and to be aware of the limits of their vehicle.

“The success achieved has provided us the opportunity to further improve and perfect not only our brand, but also our franchise opportunity,” added Giammona. “We’re eager to continue building a solid foundation for our brands and can’t wait to see what other incredible opportunities are ahead of us.”

As 911, SWERVE Driving School and igottadrive.com online driving school expands, each brand is awarding franchise opportunities to qualified individuals who share the company’s vision, who will follow the proven business model and are driven to succeed. Tailored to owners and operators that place value in the states’ safe driving methods, the franchise model provides structure and scalability. Many of the current franchisees began as police officers or corporate world professionals looking for secondary income or post-retirement investment.
