Driver’s Ed Online
Step 1: Getting Your Permit at 15½
At 15½ years old, teens in California can apply for a provisional instruction permit. To qualify, you must first complete a state-approved driver’s education course — which we conveniently offer online. After finishing your online coursework, you’ll take the DMV written knowledge test. Passing this test allows you to receive your learner’s permit, which gives you the legal right to start practicing driving under supervision.
Step 2: Behind-the-Wheel Training — 6 Hours Minimum
The DMV requires new drivers under 18 to complete at least 6 hours of professional behind-the-wheel training with a licensed driving school. This ensures you develop safe driving habits under the guidance of an instructor who understands California traffic laws and DMV testing standards. Our Drivers Training Los Angeles program provides structured lessons that cover:
- Basic car control and vehicle safety checks
- Residential driving and neighborhood navigation
- Highway merging, lane changes, and freeway driving
- Parking, three-point turns, and backing maneuvers
- Defensive driving techniques and accident avoidance
Each session is 2 hours long, and students usually schedule three lessons to complete the 6-hour requirement. These sessions can be booked flexibly around your school and activity schedule.
Step 3: Logging Supervised Practice Hours
In addition to professional instruction, California law requires that minors complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving with a licensed adult over 25. Of those 50 hours, 10 must be completed at night. Parents and guardians play a huge role in this stage, reinforcing the safe habits learned during professional lessons.
Step 4: Taking Your Driving Test at Age 16
Once you have held your permit for at least six months, completed 6 hours of behind-the-wheel training, and logged the required 50 supervised practice hours, you become eligible to take the DMV behind-the-wheel driving test at age 16. Passing this test earns you a provisional driver’s license, granting you more independence while still following teen driving restrictions until you turn 18.
