The Land Transportation Office Driver Education Centers (LTO DECs) were launched by the Land Transportation Office (LTO) in a bid to help provide road safety training for student drivers, particularly those who are incapable of paying the steep fees that regular driving schools charge. It offers free training meant to teach drivers to recognize risk and potential consequences, making the roads just a little bit safer for the general public. The LTO DECs also offer the mandatory 15-hour training course that all drivers or aspiring drivers need to complete, the Theoretical Driving Course (TDC).
