The 'Driving Safer for Longer' course will be held later this month and aims to boost safety for drivers aged 50 and over.
The informal, friendly session will offer help and advice about driving to give people confidence to continue driving "safer for longer", and dispel some of the myths surrounding older drivers.
Black Country Councils lead the events, which are supported by speakers from the Institute of Advanced Motorists (IAM) and the West Midlands Fire Service.
The course will focus on a range of safety and awareness skills and refresh drivers' knowledge of the Highway Code and general driving skills.
In 2011, 813 drivers from the West Midlands aged 50 and over were killed or injured on the roads, 18 per cent of the total number of drivers from the West Midlands who were hurt during 2011.
Councillor Peter Bilson, Wolverhampton City Council's Cabinet Member for Economic Regeneration and Prosperity, said: "All motorists can benefit from reviewing their skills as they go through life.
"This initiative takes a positive approach to driving in later life and will help older motorists develop ways of ensuring they remain safe on the road."
The free course will run on Saturday 18 May the Wolverhampton City Archives from 9.30am to 12.30pm. Light refreshments will be available.
Each driver will receive an information pack which will include a current Highway Code.
Places can be booked by calling Dudley Road Safety and Travel Awareness Team on 01384 815433 or e-mail rsafety.due@dudley.gov.uk
Places are limited and will be allocated on a first come basis.
