California drivers ed is a structured course designed to teach new drivers the rules of the road, safe driving practices, and essential skills needed for driving. For teens, the course must include at least 30 hours of instructional content covering traffic laws, road signs, and driving safety. Once you complete the course, you'll receive a certificate of completion, which you can use to apply for your California learners permit if you're under 18. Our course is online, so Tulare residents can work at their own pace and even sign in and out to study around their schedules.
The California DMV requires 30 hours of drivers ed for individuals under 18 seeking a California learners permit. This applies whether you take the course online or in a classroom setting. These hours ensure that new drivers gain foundational knowledge of traffic laws, road safety, and defensive driving before starting behind-the-wheel practice.
Our drivers ed final exam consists of 50 questions, covering the material from the course, including traffic laws, road signs, and safe driving practices. You can retake the test as many times as needed to pass, and with full access to course materials, you can review any sections where you might need extra help.
If you fail a drivers ed class in high school, you'll need to retake it to receive the completion certificate required for a California learners permit. Many schools allow retakes, but if your school does not or you prefer more flexibility, you can enroll in an approved online drivers ed course like ours. With online courses, you can learn at your own pace and retake the final exam until you pass, ensuring you're ready to move forward in the licensing process.

If you're under 18 in California, completing a drivers ed course is required before you can obtain your learners permit. However, if you're 18 or older, drivers ed is not mandatory, although it is highly recommended to help you pass the California DMV test and gain essential knowledge of California driving laws. Taking a drivers ed course, even if you're an adult, can help you feel more prepared and confident as you work toward your California driver's license.
In California, you can start drivers ed as early as 15 years old, although you cannot apply for a California learners permit until you're at least 15½. Beginning drivers ed early allows you to meet the necessary requirements for a permit application as soon as you reach the qualifying age. Teens in Tulare can begin studying online with our course, even before their 15½ birthday, to get a head start.
A California learners permit is valid for 12 months from the issue date. Within this time, you must complete the necessary supervised driving practice and take the DMV driving test to obtain your provisional license. If you're unable to complete the requirements within the year, you'll need to renew your permit, but note that Tulare residents can reach out to us anytime for guidance on staying on track with your permit and licensing goals.
In driving school, students learn the rules of the road, safe driving practices, and essential driving skills. Our online course, for example, covers traffic laws, road signs, defensive driving techniques, and safe driving strategies tailored for California roads. For teens, driving school also includes behind-the-wheel training, where you practice driving with a certified instructor. This combination of classroom learning and hands-on driving helps you build the confidence and skills you need to become a responsible driver in Tulare and beyond.
The best DMV practice test is one that mimics the format of the real California DMV permit test and covers a variety of questions on traffic signs, California driving laws, and safety practices. Our course includes unlimited access to California DMV practice tests designed to help you get familiar with the permit test questions. Practicing with these tests can improve your chances of passing the permit test on your first attempt, whether you're testing at a DMV in Tulare or another California location.
A California driver's license is typically valid for five years. The expiration date will be noted on the front of your license, and you'll receive a renewal notice from the DMV about two months before it expires. If you're a teen with a provisional license, your license automatically becomes a full license when you turn 18, eliminating provisional restrictions. This transition applies to all residents, including those in Tulare and other areas across the state.
