Iowa Valley Community College

In Iowa, individuals charged with Operating While Intoxicated (OWI) or Driving Under the Influence (DUI), or Iowa drivers facing similar charges in another state, are required to complete a state-approved course. The course uses the Prime for Life 12-hour curriculum, which is designed to meet the educational requirements set forth in Iowa’s legal statutes, specifically sections 321J.2 and 321J.17, Subsection 2 of the Iowa Code. The program aims to help participants understand the importance of making personal changes to reduce the likelihood of future alcohol or drug-related issues. It focuses on raising awareness of the risks associated with impaired driving and encourages participants to take responsibility for their actions. The course is available in Marshalltown and Iowa Falls, offering accessible locations for those needing to fulfill this requirement.
