Each of us might have known someone - a friend, a family member, or a loved one - who have fallen victim to road accidents. While some may survive with little to minor injuries, road crashes are highly regarded by different survey and analytics firms as among the major causes of death in the Philippines and we would not want ourselves nor anyone who is dear to us become among those who have been perished by a road crash. In this case, the Land Transportation Office (LTO) mandates that those who are well trained in safe driving in a LTO accredited driving school will be given a license to drive.
RC Driving Academy Lipa City Branch (RCDA-Lipa) is one of the few LTO-accredited driving schools in CALABARZON that can legitimately train student drivers not just to drive, but to be defensive drivers who are knowledgeable in traffic rules and regulations and trained to have a proper mindset before and during driving. Their services include a Theoretical Driving Course (TDC), a 15-hour classroom training session which covers everything from traffic regulations to LTO-mandated special laws. However, due to the threat of the COVID-19 pandemic, RCDA-Lipa also opened its doors for online training on TDC.

RCDA-Lipa also offers Practical Driving Courses (PDC) for manual and automatic four-wheeled light vehicles and motorcycles. With the help of RC's dedicated instructors and administrators, students are guaranteed to understand the importance of being a knowledgeable and defensive driver. They will also teach and inform student drivers on how to apply for and obtain a student's permit as well as a non-professional and professional driver's license. Student drivers who are taking up TDC should follow health and safety protocols mandated by the government against COVID-19 such as wearing of face masks and face shields and social distancing. Furthermore, discounts will be offered to students who wish to take both TDC and PDC on RC Driving Academy.
