That’s right, you’ve read the title correctly; you can now enroll for a free 15-hour theoretical driving course in your enlisted LTO Driver’s Education Center.
From February 2021, Land Transportation Office announced, that it will offer a free-of-charge Theoretical Driving Course
The Land Transportation Office’s Memorandum Circular (2019-2176) states that it is an essential course you must complete before you obtain your student driver’s license permit.
If you wish to enroll, visit your nearest LTO Driver’s Education Center office and inquire about the free Theoretical Driving Course to reserve a slot.
On a side note, not all applicants will be catered for immediately, LTO-7 is currently looking to secure vacant spots for other drivers as they try to push through various scholarship programs and slots on selected areas of Region-7.
“As of November 5, a total of 550 individuals from Barangays Sudlon 1 (200), Bonbon (150), Sinsin (100), and Sirao (100) graduated with TDC certificates, a requirement to apply for a student driver’s permit.
