DMV-approved course, course license E0159. Sold by Stallion School of Driving (DMV license E0271). New to the permit steps? Read the step-by-step guide.
From online course to driver’s license.
On the standard path, a driver under 18 needs driver education, six hours of professional behind-the-wheel training and 50 hours of supervised practice before the drive test. Driver education comes first: its DL 400C certificate is what the DMV asks for at the permit appointment, from 15½.
Driver education teaches the rules; driver training puts them into practice in a car. Once the permit is in hand, Stallion teaches the behind-the-wheel hours, with pickup in Folsom, El Dorado Hills and Granite Bay.
Requirements can change. Confirm current rules on dmv.ca.gov.
