The DMV required Driver Training course consists of six (6) hours behind-the-wheel. These hours are divided into three lessons (two hours per day). Our DMV certified instructors will pick-up and drop-off students at home. U-Drive Driving School provides vehicles that meet the qualifications of the DMV. Students are given seven (7) months from the enrollment date to complete the six (6) hour Driver Training course.

On the day of the first lesson, the instructor will sign the minor’s permit, validating it so that the parent or guardian may legally begin additional practice. Upon completion of the six (6) hour Driver Training course, the student will receive the Certificate of Completion of Behind-the-Wheel. Keep all certificates in a safe place as the DMV will require them for the DMV driving test. Parents are responsible of providing an additional 50 hours of practice prior to the minor taking the driving test. It is highly recommended that parents read the California Parent-Teen Training Guide before beginning the additional 50 hour practice.

The behind-the-wheel instruction includes the following skills: steering, right turn, left turn, stop and start, traffic, lane change, reverse straight, start on hill, turn about, right turn traffic, left turn traffic, diagonal parking, parallel parking, and freeway. Some students may require additional hours to practice the above skills.
