Our program meets all state requirements, ensuring you complete the mandatory 30 hours of instruction covering critical topics like California traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices.

What do you do after drivers ed?
After successfully completing your California drivers ed course, you’ll receive your Certificate of Completion, also known as the DL 400C form. This certificate is essential for students under 18 to move forward in the licensing process. Once you have it, you’re eligible to schedule and take the California permit test. The permit test evaluates your knowledge of road signs, traffic laws, and safe driving practices. Passing the test allows you to obtain your California drivers permit. With this permit, you can start practicing driving under the supervision of a licensed adult and take professional driving lessons. The experience you gain during this phase will prepare you for the California DMV behind-the-wheel driving test, a crucial step toward earning your California class C driver’s license.
How much is it to take drivers ed?
Our online California drivers ed course is currently available for just $24.95. This fee includes the full 30 hours of instruction, unlimited access to California DMV practice tests, and delivery of your Certificate of Completion through USPS. Unlike other providers that may charge extra for certain features, our pricing is straightforward and inclusive, offering exceptional value.

Can you take drivers ed in a different state?
Although it may seem convenient to take drivers ed in a different state, it’s generally not recommended for California residents. California has specific requirements for drivers education, and courses from other states may not meet these standards. If you complete a course outside of California, you may face additional challenges proving its validity to the California DMV. By choosing a California DMV-approved drivers ed course like ours, you ensure that your certificate of completion will be accepted without any issues. This saves you time, effort, and potential delays in obtaining your California drivers permit. It’s always best to select a program specifically designed for California to streamline your path to earning a driver’s license.
What does CDE stand for in drivers ed?
CDE stands for Certificate of Driver Education. This document is issued to students who successfully complete a California DMV-approved drivers education course. For teens under 18, the CDE is a crucial step in the licensing process as it serves as proof that you’ve fulfilled the state’s requirement of at least 30 hours of instruction on traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. You’ll need this certificate when applying for your California DMV learning permit. It’s important to keep the certificate safe and readily accessible since it’s a mandatory document for progressing through the licensing stages.
Do you have to take a permit test if you're 18?
Yes, if you’re 18 or older, you must take and pass the California permit test to obtain a learner’s permit. Unlike drivers under 18, adults are not required to complete a drivers education course, but doing so can significantly improve your preparation for the permit test. The test covers critical topics such as California traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. A drivers education course provides the foundation you need to understand these topics thoroughly, giving you the confidence to pass the test on your first attempt. With our online course, you can also practice with California DMV practice tests, further boosting your readiness.
How to pass the California permit test?
Passing the California permit test requires preparation and focus. Start by thoroughly studying the California DMV manual, which contains all the information you’ll need to know, including traffic laws, road signs, and driving safety tips. Next, take advantage of California DMV practice tests to familiarize yourself with the test format and types of questions. Our course includes unlimited access to these practice tests, which are an excellent way to identify areas where you may need additional review. Make sure to get plenty of rest before test day, and approach the exam with confidence. By studying consistently and using practice tools, you’ll set yourself up for success.
How many mistakes are allowed on the written test California?
The number of mistakes allowed on the California written test depends on your age. For drivers under 18, the test consists of 46 questions, and you can miss up to eight to pass. For adults, the test has 36 questions, with a maximum of six mistakes allowed. It’s important to prepare thoroughly to minimize errors and increase your chances of success. Taking California DMV practice tests is a highly effective way to build confidence and ensure you’re familiar with the material. Practicing under timed conditions can also help you simulate the real test experience and improve your accuracy under pressure.
When does your permit expire in California?
A California drivers permit is valid for 12 months from the date of issuance. This provides ample time for you to complete all the required steps toward earning your California class C driver’s license, including supervised driving practice and professional training sessions. If your permit expires before you’ve completed the process, you’ll need to reapply and retake the California permit test. To avoid this, it’s a good idea to plan your learning and practice schedule efficiently, ensuring you’re ready to move forward before your permit expires. Staying organized will help you meet all deadlines and keep the process smooth.
What is the provisional permit?
A provisional permit is a special type of California drivers permit issued to teens under 18. This permit allows you to practice driving under the supervision of a licensed adult who is at least 25 years old. To obtain a provisional permit, you must complete a California drivers ed course, pass the California permit test, and meet other DMV requirements. The permit is valid for supervised practice only and cannot be used for solo driving. After holding the permit for at least six months and completing all required driving practice, you’ll become eligible to take the California DMV behind-the-wheel driving test. Successfully passing this test will earn you a California provisional driver’s license.
Can I take the California written test online?
Yes, the California DMV allows eligible applicants to take the written permit test online. This option is convenient and can be done from the comfort of your home. However, the online test is supervised via webcam to ensure compliance with DMV rules. You’ll need a compatible device and internet connection to participate. If you prefer, you can also take the written test in person at a DMV office. Both options require thorough preparation, so make sure to study the California DMV manual and take California DMV practice tests to feel confident about the material. The online option is particularly useful for those who prefer flexibility in completing the test.
