Course Details
The driver education classroom course is the most comprehensive way to learn especially if you want to pass the DMV knowledge test the first time. The course consists of four interactive classroom sessions generally meeting mid-morning till about 4:30p.m. Our courses are taught by professionals who emphasize the importance of vision, space management, road rules, and how to adjust for roadway conditions. We provide classroom simulators to practice and learn these techniques in a safe environment. Classroom instruction is thorough, individualized and often saves time and money in the long run (highest DMV permit test pass rate). Parents are also encouraged to attend a Q & A. A DMV “office appointment” for the permit test can be made at DMV.ca.gov
Upon successful completion of the driver education classroom course, the new driver will be issued a Driver Education Completion Certificate (DL 400B) and must obtain the driving instruction permit at the DMV.
NEXT STEP AFTER COMPLETING DRIVER EDUCATION
In order to take the knowledge test at the DMV the teen must be at least 15½ yrs. old and will need the following documents:
- Original birth certificate, California identification card or current passport
- Social security card
- Driver Education Completion Certificate (DL 400B)
- Two California residency documents
- License application form DL44e (can be accessed online) signed by parent/guardian DMV.ca.gov
- Application fee (currently $41, subject to change)
- Glasses/contacts, if needed
Once the DMV knowledge test has been passed the new driver will have a permit and will need to meet with a driving instructor for the behind-the-wheel driver training. A driver license application is valid for 12 months, from the date the application was first submitted. Please be aware of the permit expiration date.
