CSI: New York star Carmine Giovinazzo was pulled over this past January for not staying within traffic lanes. According to police reports, he was slurring his words, reeked of alcohol and eventually confessed that he had been drinking scotch at the W Hotel. The actor was able to work out a deal that will keep him out of jail, as long as he pleads guilty to DUI and completes an alcohol awareness program by May 3, 2013.
This is a perfect situation to take an online DUI class. Carmine just needs to get prior approval from the judge to take a distance learning class rather than having to go into a public classroom. Taking an online alcohol awareness education program will keep him out of the limelight so he doesn’t have paparazzi trailing him into a traditional classroom setting. He would also be protected from leaked stories and fans that want his autograph. He can focus on the topic at hand and really learn from it, instead of wasting his energy trying to avoid the mayhem.
Online classes enable participants to have complete anonymity and privacy. The only people who know you are enrolled are the class, your judge and you. Furthermore, once registered, an online class is available to you 24/7. This means that Giovinazzo wouldn’t have to miss any work to take the class. You sign up for the course with a login name and password, and it can then be accessed from any Internet based computer device. So, he could take the program during his lunch hour in his dressing room, late at night after work or on a weekend. Nothing needs to be printed out either, so participants can sit in comfortable surroundings rather than at a desk or in an office atmosphere.
Alcohol and drug awareness classes or DUI classes online are offered in 8, 12, 16, 20 and 24 hour lengths and can be entered and exited from any web-based computer, anywhere in the U.S. and Canada. They are a great solution for people who are high profile, travel for business or are too busy to get to a standard classroom at a certain time each week. In Giovinazzo’s situation, he would also benefit from an online course because he only has 2 months to complete the program. If he can wipe his entire schedule clean to make it to a traditional classroom, then great. However, people really enjoy online classes because they can often spend more time over one weekend or during a particular week to fulfill the requirement and meet a deadline.
Participants simply scroll through the class, which is divided by chapter and topic. Each chapter has text, graphics and diagrams. The client can take a break at any time while taking the class by logging out. When you are ready to start up again, the computer program will pull up exactly where you left off. The material can be reviewed at any time while taking the course.
At the end of the class the participant is given a short multiple-choice test to insure that the material has been understood. Once this final is passed with a 70% or better, a Certificate of Completion is sent out. This is the documentation that the court will need to see to prove that the requirement was successfully fulfilled. This paperwork can also be downloaded immediately and there is no additional charge for this service.
Taking an online DUI class is a practical, educational and quality way to fulfill court requirements.
