Your Step-By-Step Guide to Getting Licensed

1

Sign Up for the Course

Visit the enrollment page, enter your ticket information and court details, and complete your registration. The process takes less than five minutes and gives you immediate access to the full 8-hour course.

2

Complete the 8-Hour Online Course

Work through all required modules at your own pace. Each chapter includes interactive lessons and a short quiz. You can pause and resume anytime -- the course saves your progress automatically. All 8 hours must be completed to unlock the final exam.

3

Pass the Final Exam

The final exam tests your knowledge of California traffic laws and defensive driving principles. A passing score of 70% or higher is required. You have one opportunity to retake the final exam if needed -- chapter quizzes have unlimited retakes to help you prepare.

4

Receive Your California Certificate of Completion

Once you pass, Get Drivers Ed electronically submits your DL 400 C Certificate of Completion to the court and California DMV -- usually within one business day. Your ticket is then processed for masking.

Why Should You Opt for This Course?

  • Get Drivers Ed is a California DMV-licensed Traffic Violator School, which means our California Traffic School Online is legally recognized by the state and accepted at every California Superior Court. Unlike some providers, we handle the entire certificate submission process electronically -- you never have to print, sign, or mail anything. Once you finish, we take care of the rest.
  • Protecting your insurance rate is one of the most valuable things traffic school can do for you. A single moving violation -- a speeding ticket, a rolling stop -- can trigger a rate increase that costs hundreds of dollars over the following years. By completing our California Traffic School Online and having the ticket masked, you keep the violation off the record your insurer sees. Many drivers find that the cost of traffic school pays for itself many times over in saved premiums.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is California traffic school online?

California traffic school is 8 hours -- the state-mandated minimum set by the California DMV for Traffic Violator School (TVS). Our California Traffic School Online is entirely self-paced, so you can split the 8 hours across multiple sessions. Most students complete it within 1-3 days. You must finish by the due date set by your court.

Does online traffic school mask a ticket in California?

Yes. When you complete Get Drivers Ed's California Traffic School Online and pass the final exam, we submit your Certificate of Completion electronically to the court and the California DMV. The DMV then masks your citation, which means the moving violation will not appear on the driving record viewed by your insurance company. Only one citation can be masked every 18 months.

How often can you take traffic school in California?

California drivers are eligible to take traffic school once every 18 months. If you received a ticket within 18 months of a previous traffic school completion, you are not eligible to attend again for that new citation. Check with your court to confirm your eligibility before enrolling.

Is online traffic school accepted by all California courts?

Yes. Get Drivers Ed is a California DMV-licensed Traffic Violator School, and our online course is accepted by all California Superior Courts. After you complete the course and pass the final exam, we submit your DL 400 C Certificate of Completion directly to your court electronically.

What is the California traffic school certificate?

The California traffic school Certificate of Completion is officially called the DL 400 C. It is the document the court and DMV use to confirm you completed a DMV-licensed Traffic Violator School. Get Drivers Ed submits the DL 400 C to your court and the DMV electronically within one business day of you passing the final exam.

What happens if I fail the California traffic school final exam?

If you do not pass the final exam on your first attempt, you have one additional opportunity to retake it. Chapter-level quizzes throughout the course have unlimited retakes, so use them to review before attempting the final. A score of 70% or higher is required to pass and receive your Certificate of Completion

Do I still have to pay my fine if I take traffic school?

Yes. Court fines and traffic school fees are separate. Paying the court's traffic fine (or bail) is a requirement before or alongside electing traffic school -- it does not cover the cost of the course itself. The traffic school fee is paid directly to Get Drivers Ed when you enroll.
