Here are some of the perks:
This California drivers ed course is REQUIRED if you are 15½ – 17½ years old if you want to get your license. If you are 17½+ years old, you are not required to do driver’s ed, but it is recommended. If you don’t take driver’s ed, you won’t be able to take your driving test until you are 18.
Under normal circumstances, the minimum age to get your California’ driver’s permit is 15 ½ years old. You will need to submit proof of driver’s ed before you can receive your instruction permit. Learn more about the teen licensing process here.
The course is 30 hours long, and meets all of the state requirements. However, it is possible to finish it sooner depending on your learning speed. This counts towards the classroom DE requirement but you will still need to separately do the behind-the-wheel driver training (DT) at a licensed DT school. (Learn more)
The State of California requires certificates to be mailed directly to you. Once you complete the course, your certificate will be sent with 1st Class Mail and usually arrives within 7-10 business days. At the end of the course, you’ll have the option to purchase expedited shipping If you need it faster.
No, you will need to contact a driving school in your area for some behind-the-wheel practice. You will also need to pass the Knowledge Test. Once you meet those education requirements and pass the test, you will be issued a provisional instruction permit. It won’t be valid until it’s signed by a licensed or authorized driving instructor or you reach the age 17 ½. Keep in mind that a provisional instruction permit DOES NOT allow you to drive alone at any time, not even to work, or to the DMV to take your driving test.

You must be at least 14 years old.
If you are at least 14 years old, you may be able to apply for Junior Permit if you fall under specific hardship situations. If you are issued a hardship Junior Permit, you must complete driver’s ed within 6 months or the permit will be cancelled.
Take the practice tests as many times as you need so that you can pass your written exam and get your permit on the first try!
