If you fail a drivers ed class in high school, you won't receive the completion certificate needed to apply for a California learners permit. However, you usually have a few options to move forward. Some schools offer retakes or allow students to improve specific test scores. Alternatively, you can complete a state-approved online California drivers ed course, like ours, which offers flexibility and self-paced learning. This can be an effective way for Ontario students to fulfill California's requirements without delay.

The course also addresses how drugs, alcohol, and distractions affect driving. California drivers ed is mandatory for teens under 18, including Ontario residents planning to apply for a California learners permit. The course consists of at least 30 hours of instruction, which can be taken online or in a classroom.
