In drivers ed, "CDE" stands for Certificate of Driver Education. This certificate verifies that you've completed a state-approved drivers education course. If you're under 18, you'll need this certificate to apply for a learner's permit at the DMV, as it confirms you've completed the mandatory 30-hour instruction.
Once you've finished your drivers ed course, you'll receive a Certificate of Completion, which is necessary to apply for a California learners permit if you're under 18. Next, you'll prepare for the California DMV permit test by studying the California DMV handbook and taking DMV practice tests. When you're ready, schedule an appointment with the DMV to take the permit test, ensuring you have the necessary documents like proof of identity and residency, along with your certificate.
No, your drivers ed certificate does not expire. Once you've completed your course and received your certificate, it remains valid indefinitely. However, the learners permit you obtain afterward does have expiration conditions, so it's a good idea to proceed with your driving practice and testing as soon as possible.
The certificate typically arrives within 3-5 business days by standard mail, at no extra charge. If you need it sooner, we offer expedited delivery for a small fee. This way, you can choose an option that best fits your timeline for applying for your permit.

If you're under 18, you must hold your learners permit for at least six months before you're eligible to take the California driving test. During this time, you'll need to complete 50 hours of supervised driving practice, including 10 hours at night, with a licensed adult.
The driving test is designed to assess your practical driving skills and your knowledge of California's road rules. If you've practiced regularly, completed behind-the-wheel training, and are familiar with local roads, such as those around Camarillo, you'll likely find the test manageable. The DMV examiner will evaluate your ability to safely operate a vehicle, make correct turns, and follow traffic signs.
A California learners permit allows you to practice driving with a licensed adult (at least 25 years old) in the car. With your permit, you can gain essential driving experience, preparing for the California driving test and becoming familiar with different driving scenarios. Just remember, as a permit holder, you are not allowed to drive alone at any time.
