Jumpstart
Driver education does not necessarily reduce young driver crashes. To their credit, driver and traffic safety education efforts have long been designed to aid the driver in gaining a license to meet minimum standards designed by government agencies. To that end , The Jumpstart program is to mentor soon to be drivers , young and experienced drivers and to assess the skills to meet their employment or their driving requirements and help them become safer drivers.
This is a practical based mentorship program that allows the participant to interact and enhance various knowledge and skills of motor vehicles and driving
-
The sessions are to support parents who have teenagers and young adults who are curious and interested in how motor vehicles work and unfortunately do not have the skill or time to teach them
-
Soon to be Drivers who would like to familiarise themselves with Knowledge and Skills prior to taking a driving test
-
Young Drivers who have just attained their drivers licence and wish to improve and enhance their driving skills, safety and confidence where necessary

The sessions include two modules, supervised and managed by the INFAMA team of automotive engineers and administration staff.
