You may pay for the course online once you are registered. Remember, you must obtain your parent/guardian(s) permission and assistance when you pay for your course. You can try out the entire course without payment; however, you will need to pay to take the final exam. You may also call us and pay over the phone with your credit card, or you may mail us a check or money order.
Not unless you want to. Our courses are completely self-paced, which means that you can finish them during a couple sittings or you can stop and start back up when you please over a longer period of time. It's entirely up to you. If you have to get it done in a few days, you can. If you have several months left before you need to finish, then you can complete a section a week. We have built this flexibility into our courses so that you can choose exactly how much time it will take you to complete.
There is no time requirement to complete the course and it will not expire. You may take as much time as you need, but we recommend finishing your course as soon as possible.
We do not have an app for taking the course, however, our California Drivers Ed course will easily work on all devices (PCs, Macs, tablets, and phones). You can complete our program using virtually any device with internet access by simply logging into your account through your web browser.
When it comes time to practice for your written permit test, we do have a free App for iPhone and iPad. Learn more about our
PhDMV™ Test Prep App.
No problem. Students have unlimited chances to pass the CA Online Drivers Ed final exam. If you don't pass, simply review the material again and take the test again...at no extra charge.
