USST Colleges, in Partnership with Prime Driving School Gerona-Tarlac, Conduct Defensive Driving Training for Criminology Students
July 1, 2026 β USST Colleges, in collaboration with Prime Driving School Gerona-Tarlac, successfully conducted a Defensive Driving Training Program for Criminology students, reinforcing the institution's commitment to developing responsible, safety-conscious, and professionally prepared future law enforcement personnel.
The training provided students with comprehensive instruction on the fundamentals of safe and responsible driving. Certified driving instructors discussed essential defensive driving principles, proper vehicle operation, road safety practices, and the importance of responsible decision-making while on the road. Participants were also trained on the proper use of hand signals, traffic signs and signals, and the interpretation of road signages in accordance with national traffic regulations.
Beyond improving driving skills, the program emphasized discipline, situational awareness, and adherence to traffic lawsβqualities that are vital not only for everyday motorists but also for future professionals in the field of public safety and law enforcement.
Upon successful completion of the training, participating students will be eligible to obtain their Student Driver's Permit as well as Driving Code A (Motorcycle) and Driving Code A1 (Tricycle) qualifications. These certifications represent an important milestone, equipping students with practical driving competencies that support their daily transportation needs and enhance their preparedness for future professional responsibilities.
For many Criminology students who rely on motorcycles for their daily commute, the training provides valuable knowledge that promotes safer travel. Moreover, motorcycle operation is a practical skill that may become essential in their future careers, particularly in law enforcement and other public safety roles where mobility and safe vehicle operation are critical.
Through initiatives such as this partnership with Prime Driving School Gerona-Tarlac, USST Colleges continues to provide meaningful learning opportunities that extend beyond the classroom, preparing students with practical skills that contribute to their personal development, professional readiness, and commitment to public service
