Buckle up!
You’ve got an *almost* new driver in the family! Now what?
Don’t worry, We’ve got you covered. Here’s the road to take.
Steps to Getting a Driver’s License in CA
Step 1 – Driver’s Ed Course
This course can be taken online or in person. You can take our CA DMV-Certified on-line course for just $20 with the purchase of a Greenlight Intro to Driving or Core 6 Package. *Not required for 18+
Step 1.5 – Learn HOW to Drive with Greenlight
We offer simulator-based driver training that gives new drivers the opportunity to build the defensive driving skills needed for driving BEFORE they get behind the wheel in real life. You wouldn’t put your kid into a baseball game without teaching them how to throw right? Why do we put them in the car without a solid understanding of how to drive? Learn more here.
Step 2 – Schedule and Take the Permit Test at the DMV
You need to be at least 15 1/2.
Step 3 – Behind The Wheel Driver Training Lessons
New drivers must complete 6 hours with a DMV-certified driving school.
Step 4 – 50 Hours of Behind the Wheel Driving Practice
Step 5 – Take Behind-The-Wheel Driving Test at the DMV
With all this practice under their belt, your new driver will be ready hit the road.
No matter where you’re at in this journey, ensure your new driver is prepared for the road ahead with Greenlight Simulation.

Safer Drivers
Redefining Driver Training
You wouldn’t throw your kid into a pool without swim lessons right? So why do we throw them in a car before they know how to “drive”?
That’s where Greenlight Simulation comes in. Our driving experts developed a driver training curriculum to teach new drivers how to drive BEFORE they get their license.
Our simulator-based driver training allows new drivers to engage in real, meaningful practice without the fear, stress, and consequences that inhibit the learning process.
By the end of our training your new driver will be confident and ready to hit the road.
