California requires that anyone applying for a license, under the age of 17 1/2, must complete California Department of Motor Vehicles approved Driver Education Course in order to obtain a Learner's Permit.

Driver Education: Driver Education is the state required 30 hours of classroom instruction given by a licensed driving school or a state-approved online course. We, at Code 4 Driving School, offer a 30-hour online course.

Driver Training: Driver Training is the State required minimum six hours of Behind-the-Wheel training, broken up into three, two-hour lessons.

Parent / Guardian Supervision: After completing the Divers Ed Course and their first driving lesson with a licensed driving school, the student can drive with any California licensed driver over the age of 25.

The student is required to hold their Permit for a minimum of six months before applying for a drivers license. During that six-month period, the Parent / Guardian is required to drive a minimum of 50 hours with 10 of those hours being at night.

The six hours of driving school instruction does NOT count toward the 50 hours.

When the student has satisfied all the requirements, they may schedule their driving test with the DMV.

Code 4 puts you "in the drivers seat" with our flexible online drivers education program. Access the program and complete the course at your convenience. It is the most informative and easiest to use on the market today.

Once the student completes the entire 30-hour online course, you will be given a Certificate of Completion of Drivers Education. This certificate must be presented to the DMV when applying for a Learner's Permit. The applicant must be 15 1/2 years of age or older when applying for a Learners Permit.

While at the DMV the student will take a 46 question written test of which they can only miss a maximum of 8 questions. When the student passes, they will be issued a learners permit.

Please be aware that the Learner's Permit is not valid until the student completes one lesson of behind the wheel training with a licensed Driving School.

Our simple but thorough 3-session process to teach new drivers all they need to know to pass their DMV test, and be safe and courteous on the road.

During the first lesson, our instructor covers the basic operations of the car. Topics include left and right turns, lane changes, starting, stopping & backing, along with driving in and merging with traffic.

During the second session, after a review of session one, students will practice various forms of parking, one way streets, and freeway driving.

During the third session, we start with a mock DMV exam using DMV scoring criteria. If the mock test reveals a weakness, the remainder of the lesson will be focused on correcting that weakness so the student has the best chance of passing the drivers test the first time.

Once a student completes six hours of Drivers Training, Code 4 Driving School will issue a Certificate of Completion of Drivers Training. This is the form that must be presented to the DMV when the student takes the DMV Drive Test. The student will only be allowed to take the test when the following conditions are met:

They are 16 years or older
Held a Learner's Permit for 6 months or more
Completed 6 Hours of Behind-the-Wheel training with a licensed Driving School
Completed 50 Hours of practice with their parent / guardian.

Once the student has met these requirements, they will be eligible to take the Drive Test at any California DMV Office. The student will need to make an appointment for the test.
