Oakland Classroom Drivers Education vs. Online Drivers Ed

The days of taking drivers ed in a Oakland High School classroom are all but extinct. For teens in the 21st century, drivers education is mostly conducted in a privatized classroom or by a DMV Approved course provider. In 2003, the DMV conducted a study and came to the conclusion that students taking online drivers education courses actually scored higher on their course exit exams than students learning the same information in a traditional drivers education classroom setting. These findings are not surprising; the average teen in Northern California gravitates toward online mediums and are more captivated and interested in technology. Rather than tuning out in a boring traditional classroom setting, teens taking classes online are captivated by interactive tutorials that allow them to go at their own pace and to logout when they become tired.

Free Practice Multiple Choice DMV Tests

In addition to our outstanding, Approved drivers education program, we also offer our students practice DMV tests at no additional costs. Our sample DMV tests are different than the small set of example tests you can get from the Oakland Department of Motor Vehicles or from the official Alameda County DMV website. Our practice test questions are made from our database of over 150 DMV test answers and questions. If you want to succeed on your DMV test the first time, come to Drivers Ed Direct: the best driving school in Northern California.

Driver Safety Resources from Drivers Ed Direct

At Drivers Ed Direct, we believe drivers education doesn't end the day you get your license. The truth is, the first 500 miles that a Oakland teen drives by themselves are the most dangerous miles they will ever drive in their lives. Teens will still need guidance from their parents and their driving school many months after they earn their driving privilege. Parents and teens can take advantage of the many resources available at Drivers Ed Direct designed to keep our students throughout Northern California, past and present, informed and up to date with current driving laws and issues. We are committed to ensuring the well-being of future driving adults from American Indian Public High School, Arise High School, Bay Area Technology School (BayTech), BEST High School, Bentley School, Castlemont, Bishop O Dowd High School, Candell's College Preparatory School, The College Preparatory School, Head Royce School, Holy Names High School, Raymond Edward Mack Christian, St. Elizabeth High School, St Andrew Missionary Baptist Church Pvt School, Leadership Preparatory School, Castlemont Business or Information Technology School, East Oakland School of the Arts, EXCEL High School, College Preparatory or Architecture Academy, Coliseum College Prep Academy, Dewey Academy, East Bay Conservation Corps Charter, East Bay Conservation Corps Corpsmember Academy, Envision Academy For Arts & Technology, Expression, Excellence, Community, Empowerment & L High School, Far West, Independent Study, Sojourner Truth, Kipp King Collegiate High School, Leadership Preparatory High School, Life Academy, Lighthouse Community Charter, Lps College Park High School, Mandela High School, Media College Preparatory High School, Paul Robeson School, Oakland High School, Oakland School for the Arts, Oakland International High School, Oakland Military Institute, Oakland Technical High School, Oasis High School, Skyline High School, University Preparatory Charter Academy, Patten Academy, Millennium High School, Piedmont High School, San Leandro High School, Arroyo High School, Street Academy (alternative), San Lorenzo High School, Wilson (lionel) College Preparatory Academy, Ralph J.
