Yes, if you’re under 18 in California, completing a drivers ed course is required to obtain a California driver’s license. The course includes at least 30 hours of instruction on essential topics like traffic laws, road safety, and road signs. After completing the course, you’ll receive a Certificate of Completion (DL 400C), which is a necessary document to take the DMV permit test at your local DMV office.
Adults 18 and older do not need to complete drivers ed, but they must still pass the DMV knowledge test and the California DMV driving test to get a California driver’s license. Completing a California drivers ed course is still highly recommended for adults to build confidence and learn critical driving rules.
The California drivers ed course is a minimum of 30 hours long, as required by the California DMV. Our course is offered online, allowing students in Monterey County to complete the required instruction at their own pace. The course is divided into easy-to-follow modules, with reading materials, videos, and quizzes to keep you engaged.

Whether you’re balancing school, extracurricular activities, or work, our course allows you to progress at a comfortable speed while meeting DMV requirements.
In our online drivers ed class, there’s no need to worry about failing. If you don’t pass the final test on your first attempt, you can retake it as many times as needed until you succeed. You’ll have unlimited access to all the course materials, so you can review any sections where you need more practice.
For traditional classroom-based programs, check with your school or program administrators about their retake policies. If retaking the class isn’t an option, you can always enroll in our flexible, online California drivers ed course to meet the state’s requirements.
