"Every school and state should have an on-line alternative to the classroom version of how Driver's Education is offered
in the high school curriculum. The Costech Technology approach is very affordable for the school system, also the program
presentation is a valid approach to the technology of the 21st Century for the student and the district administration."

Our History
In 1994, Costech began with the vision of producing software that would help individuals and companies to be more efficient in their daily
activities. 1994, the company moved its focus to “relearning” as it was apparent that the age of technology was born. The vision was that
not only would many rely on the internet for a vast amount of the world’s functions but to education as well. However, even though the
internet was capable and ready, the “vehicles” were not accessible or affordable—the home and school computers.
In 1998, Costech developed a “land-based system” in the area of driver education which was tested and used in two of North Carolinas largest
school districts. Later on, Charlotte-Mecklenburg School’s driver education coordinator requested administrative functions to be added to
assist with monthly reporting and tracking of students, which had been very difficult due to funding restraints. Today, this system has an
array of functions; from registration to certificate issuance, from assessments of teacher effectiveness to inventory of capital equipment,
and timesheets and payroll.
Many of those functions have found their way into small and major corporations in the U. S. and other countries.
From there, the blended delivery of an online curriculum is being piloted in South Carolina and has made stops in Georgia, Colorado, and
Pennsylvania in the form of self-paced programs. Affiliates there have enjoyed the assistance in delivering the classroom learning to the
most remote areas of their respective states.
Costech is ready to help you with your needs!
