Tuition is $49 for each course. Review the final total and any optional services at ASI checkout. Insurance and point benefits are separate and depend on your eligibility.
A course can help you save and become a safer driver. Here is how the benefits apply in your state.
Eligible principal operators receive a 10% reduction on base liability and collision premiums for three years. Send your certificate to your insurer within 90 days to make the discount retroactive to completion. It does not guarantee a lower total bill.
Up to four eligible points count less toward a DMV suspension calculation. Violations remain on your record. The benefit applies to violations within the preceding 18 months and can be used once every 18 months, with no credit for future points.
ASI mails the New York certificate. Check your mailing address at enrollment, keep a copy and send it to your insurer. The sponsor reports completion to DMV; allow up to 10 weeks for your record to update.
Read NY DMV benefit rules ↗Eligible drivers may receive a three-year insurance discount, often around 5%. The amount, covered premiums and effective date depend on your insurer and policy. Ask your agent to confirm the benefit before you enroll.
An approved course may reduce two points once every five years, only if points are on your record when you finish. It does not erase convictions or reduce surcharge points. There is no credit against future violations.
ASI issues your completion certificate and reports your completion to NJ MVC. MVC advises that providers submit proof within 7–10 business days. Keep your certificate and provide it to your insurance company to request the discount.
Read NJ MVC course rules ↗Select your license state and preferred language above. Register and pay on ASI’s secure platform.
Log in from a computer, tablet or phone. Pause and return to your lessons within the course completion window.
Finish all required lessons, timing, identity checks and any assessments shown by ASI.
Follow ASI’s delivery instructions, submit proof to your insurer and allow time for state reporting.
Have your driver information ready and set aside enough time to complete the full six-hour program. Self-paced learning still includes required course timing.

Everything you need to choose confidently and understand what happens next.
Yes. Lessons are hosted by American Safety Institute and can be completed online. You do not need to visit Amethyst for a class. ASI handles enrollment, access and course completion.
No. You can pause and return to the course. Complete all required time and activities before the deadline shown in your ASI account. Check those requirements when you register.
Choose the state that issued your driver’s license and the language you are most comfortable studying in. NY English, NY Spanish, NJ English and NJ Spanish each have a separate registration link. If you recently moved, ask ASI which course applies before enrolling.
No. New York’s 10% benefit applies to eligible base liability and collision premiums. New Jersey savings depend on your policy and insurer; around 5% is an estimate. Contact your insurance agent to confirm the eligible coverages, amount and start date.
No. Point reduction is subject to state rules and does not erase violations or convictions. New York allows up to four points for its suspension calculation; New Jersey allows a two-point deduction for eligible drivers. Neither benefit creates a credit for future violations.
Yes, drivers often take the course for insurance savings and to refresh their skills. You still need to meet the course and insurance requirements. You cannot bank a point reduction for later.
ASI issues the official certificate after successful completion. New York certificates must be mailed. For New Jersey, follow the delivery instructions in your ASI account. Check that your contact details are correct and contact ASI if you need help with delivery.
ASI handles state completion reporting. You are responsible for providing your certificate to your insurance carrier and requesting the discount. Keep a copy of the certificate and your submission confirmation.
New York: every three years to maintain the insurance benefit and once every 18 months for eligible point reduction. New Jersey: point reduction is available once every five years; ask your insurer about renewing the three-year insurance discount.
No. This six-hour course is for defensive driving and eligible insurance or point benefits. New drivers preparing for a New York road test may need the separate 5-Hour Pre-Licensing Course.
