In California, you can begin drivers ed at age 15. While you can start the California drivers ed course at this age, you'll need to wait until you're 15½ to apply for a California drivers permit. Starting early allows you to complete the required 30 hours of instruction and prepare for the DMV written test. In Pomona, as with all of California, once you finish the course, you'll be ready to take the next step toward your driving goals.
California requires a minimum of 30 hours of drivers ed for those under 18 seeking a permit.

If you're under 18, yes, drivers ed is required to obtain a California driver's license. You'll need to complete an approved drivers ed course and six hours of behind-the-wheel training. For those 18 and older, drivers ed is not mandatory but can be helpful for passing the California DMV test and gaining confidence on the road.
No, your California drivers ed certificate does not expire. Once you complete the course and receive your certificate, it remains valid for applying for your California DMV learning permit.

For students in Pomona, our California drivers ed course is a convenient choice to fulfill your drivers ed needs if your school does not offer a course.
A California learners permit allows you to practice driving under the supervision of a licensed adult aged 25 or older. This is essential for building real-road experience before taking the California DMV behind-the-wheel test. With your permit, you'll be able to practice key skills like lane changes, parking, and following traffic rules with a qualified driver at your side. Remember, in Pomona or anywhere in California, you must not drive alone with only a permit.
Most California DMV offices, including those serving Pomona, offer the permit test on a computer rather than on paper. However, if you have specific needs or require accommodations, reach out to your local DMV office as they may be able to provide alternative testing formats or additional assistance.
In California, seniors aged 70 and older are required to retake the driving test every five years upon license renewal.

Yes, even if you're 18 or older, you must still take and pass the California permit test to get your instruction permit.

Drivers training consists of at least six hours of behind-the-wheel training with a certified instructor, typically split into multiple sessions. This allows new drivers to build essential skills under professional guidance. For teens in Pomona and the rest of California, this is part of the requirement to qualify for a provisional license.
A California learners permit expires 12 months after issuance. If you're under 18, you must hold the permit for at least six months before applying for your provisional license.
