The DMV will not issue a California Drivers License beginning at age 16 unless you have completed your 6 hours of Behind the Wheel Training and obtained a completion certificate.
Do not wait until the last minute to enroll in driver training.
It is California Law that to legally drive in this state, you must validate your permit by completing a two hour lesson with an instructor who will sign the permit. You cannot legally drive with anyone, including parents until the permit is validated.

About Our Instructors
VDA Instructors are fully licensed by the State of California with extensive Behind The Wheel experience. We pride ourselves on providing a patient and supportive style when working with both teens and adults. Each instructor is mandated to have and pass a livescan (national fingerprint database) before they are hired by us and approved by the DMV. Finally, we have an expectation that each of our instructors always act in a professional and courteous manner when giving instruction.
About Our Training Vehicles
Our training vehicles are fully insured, and must undergo a rigorous inspection at a State of California Approved
Inspection Facility. As an additional enhancement each of our training vehicles is equipped with dual brake controls to
