North Dakota Administrative Code 38-08 authorizes insurance premium reduction courses, and insurance companies in North Dakota generally honor certificates from Highway Patrol-approved courses. However, we recommend checking with your specific insurance provider before enrolling to confirm they offer premium reductions and to determine the exact discount amount. Most major insurance companies operating in North Dakota participate in this program.
