California Driving Permit Process
How does our Online Drivers Ed Work
With a combined experience of over 10 years in the driving industry, MyDrivingPermit.com helps thousands of California students become road ready every single day! We provide the easiest way to get a driver’s license in the State of California. Known as the most innovative provider in the State, we are also the first company to provide all students a free FedEx 2-Day shipping and a free student driver magnet.
Since 2002, the California DMV requires all new students below the age of 18, to take this drivers ed. Back in the day, this process was cumbersome. Students had to sit down at a nearby driving school 1-2 hours a day and listen to a boring instructor. This is where MyDrivingPermit.com came in, our courses are 100% online and are self-paced. Now teens can complete this course at their time. From the comfort of their home or from school.
By taking this class, often students can also receive college credits. Please inquire with your high school to see if our course can qualify. These high school/college credits, can help those who are an inch away from graduation.
