For those aged 15.5 – 17.5 years, here's the streamlined process:
Enroll in our Course: Begin by taking our 30-hour California Drivers Ed course. Once completed, wait for your Certificate of Completion to arrive in the mail.
Visit the DMV: Head to your local DMV to undergo the vision and written tests. On successfully clearing these tests, you will be granted your learner's permit.
Professional Driving Lesson: Schedule and complete a two-hour lesson with a certified driving instructor. Once done, they will sign off on your permit, validating your professional training session. Following this, you're free to commence your 50 hours of behind-the-wheel practice, supervised by your parents or guardians. During this phase, two additional two-hour professional lessons are mandatory.
Final Step – The Driving Test: Once all the above requirements are satisfied, make your way back to the DMV. Take the driving test, and upon passing, celebrate the achievement of your driver's license!
