Q. How long does it take to complete a driver education
(classroom) program?
A. The time it takes to complete a driver education program
depends on the number of hours your teenager attends the class or
spends studying the educational material. You may request a copy
of the school's program schedule.
California law requires a person under the age of 18 to
complete the following driver education course:
25 hours of classroom instruction (not including breaks or
time for meals), or home study or Internet training program (must
be equivalent to classroom instruction requirements).
Typically, here at Code 3 our program runs for 4 days, with
each day running from 9 a. m. to 4:30 p. m.. Check our class
schedule for upcoming dates.

A. Your teenager must complete six hours of actual
behind-the-wheel (controlling the vehicle) training that does not
exceed two hours per day. Observation time does not count toward
the six hours of required training time. If your teenager
completes driver training at a secondary school, more hours may be
required. Check with the school to find out what is required for
the school’s behind-the-wheel program.

are uncomfortable with having other students in the vehicle.

breaks or do personal business during behind-the-wheel training
