In California, can you just be in an online drivers education course and still take the permit test?

Question

Would I need to complete it and get the certificate of completion before I take the test? Or can I just be enrolled in the program actively and take the test, as I just started the 30hr course but I was planning on taking my test sometime next week because I know most, if not all, of what I should to take the test.

Answer 1

"California law requires a person under the age of 18 to ***complete*** one of the following classroom driver education and driver training courses:

    25 hours of classroom instruction (not including breaks or time for meals), home study or Internet training program (must be equivalent to classroom instruction requirements).

    6 hours of Behind-the-Wheel training.

    50 hours of supervised driving practice that includes 10 hours of driving during darkness. "

Answer 2

If you are younger than 17.5 then you need the certificate before you can take the written test, if you're older you don't need it at all.

  you can complete that 30 hour course in a few hours and get your certificate (print it out) and you're good to go, you got plenty of time.
