what is tdc in lto

The Theoretical Driving Course (TDC) is a 15-hour seminar or classroom session where all attendees are expected to learn about the basics of driving and road safety. It is a mandatory requirement from all new drivers in the Philippines, and it is divided into three sessions that cover numerous topics or modules, including the progress and role of the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in societys growth, the organization and operation of the LTO, requirements and process of getting a drivers license, traffic regulations that include signs, road markings, and right of way, specific directives and laws designed by the LTO, and scanning of danger to reduce road crash risks. The course also comes with actual driving practices, especially when taken in private driving schools. The TDC can be taken at an LTO branch, online, at an LTO Driver Education Center (DEC), or at any LTO-accredited institution. If passed, the driving school electronically transmits the TDC certificate to the LTO-IT system and issues the certificate to the student.
