A drivers education course is a structured program designed to teach new drivers the essential rules of the road, safe driving practices, and fundamental driving skills. In California, drivers ed covers critical topics such as traffic laws, road signs, defensive driving, handling different road conditions, and the effects of alcohol and drugs on driving. This training prepares students for the written knowledge test required to obtain a California learners permit. For students under 18, completing at least 30 hours of instruction is mandatory before applying for a learner's permit.
In California, you can start drivers ed as early as 15 years old. Once you turn 15½, you are eligible to apply for a California learners permit after completing a drivers ed course. Beginning early allows you to complete the mandatory 30 hours of instruction and better prepares you to take the DMV permit test.
In drivers ed, CDE stands for Certificate of Driver Education. This certificate serves as proof that a student has completed the required 30 hours of driver education instruction in California. The CDE is necessary for anyone under 18 who is applying for a California learners permit, as it demonstrates that the individual has completed a state-approved drivers ed course.

On the California DMV permit test, you are allowed to miss up to 8 questions out of the 46 on the test if you are a first-time applicant under 18. Applicants 18 and older must answer at least 30 out of 36 questions correctly, meaning they can miss up to 6 questions.
No, the California DMV written driving test is not timed. This allows you to work through the questions at your own pace, giving you the opportunity to carefully consider each answer. Be sure to bring all required documents, study thoroughly, and take practice tests to feel prepared on test day.
In California, teens under 18 must complete a total of 6 hours of behind the wheel drivers training with a certified instructor. This is in addition to the 50 hours of supervised driving practice (including 10 hours at night) that must be completed with a licensed adult who is at least 25 years old. This combination of professional instruction and real-world practice is designed to build confidence and ensure readiness for the California driving test.
