These courses are delivered online by GetDriversEd, who is the training provider of record. We are not the provider, and we may receive a referral commission. Behind-the-wheel training in Ventura County is the part we teach ourselves.

California drivers

Driver education for teens and adults

California Online Teen Drivers Ed

The state-approved online course California requires before a driver under 18 can get a permit.

California Adult Drivers Ed

An optional refresher for adult learners: written-test prep, road confidence, and a possible insurance discount.

Commercial licenses

CDL ELDT theory training

Federal rules require Entry-Level Driver Training before a first CDL, a Class B to A upgrade, or a first hazmat, passenger or school bus endorsement. These courses cover the theory portion only.

School Bus Endorsement

The theory portion required before adding a school bus (S) endorsement to a CDL.
