Under the new policy, LTO chief and Assistant Transportation Secretary Edgar Galvante said drivers who will renew their licenses have to study the CDE modules “intended to retool our drivers with the [goal] of keeping the road safe for everyone.”

Drivers will then have to take and pass a 25-question evaluation test to get their CDE certificate of completion, which is now a requirement for license renewal.

LTO field offices also offer free in-person CDE seminars and exams.
