Read: Updated LTO Student’s Permit Requirements

What is the TDC? 

The TDC, short for the theoretical driving course, is one of the requirements in acquiring a student permit in the Philippines, which started last year.

Many people joke about the fact that it was the reason why getting a driver’s license in the country became only for the “rich people” because people who have applied showed receipts of their entire transaction and experience, going as high as P11,000.

However, many do not realize that these strict rules and guidelines are for the benefit of everyone. It promotes:

  • Safer roads
  • Better driver attitude
  • More technical understanding of road signages
  • Clearer driver intuition

The TDC was the resolution that the agency had in order to “fix” and “resolve” the unrelenting traffic issues that thousands of Filipinos experience on a regular basis.

It cost a lot before but now, you can get a free 15-hour theoretical driving course.

Enrolling in an LTO-Accredited Driving Center

So, if you’re one of the hopefuls to be able to get an LTO driver’s license, here’s what you have to do:

  1. Locate one of the LTO-accredited driving centers in your region
  2. Tell them that you’re looking to be scheduled for the theoretical driving course or the TDC.
  3. Then, wait for them to confirm when your schedule will be
  4. It’s for free – you wouldn’t have to pay for anything

There you have it! The complete list of the LTO-accredit driving centers from which you can get the free 15-hour theoretical driving course. This is the list containing the information you need to know to be able to have a schedule in taking the TDC.

If you want to know more about it, you can take a look at LTO’s post by clicking this link here. Alternatively, you can refer to the LTO’s list about this update here.

Final Verdict 

Do you think that what the LTO did is something that we should be thankful for? Could this be really what we need in the times we are in now?

With all the increased fees in these services, adding the fact that almost all goods and commodities are inflated, would this extra inch of effort and assistance from our government help?

    Is it only available in the Regional Offices? Like Region 1, only in San Fernando, La Union! How about other provincial LTO Offices? Would they not offer the TDC?

    Like in Ilocos Sur, there is LTO Satellite Office in Candon City. Will they not offer the same?

    Kndly confirm!
