Surf Check Driving School

Surfcheck Driving School offers an Online Driver’s Education Course which meets all the requirements of the California Department of Motor Vehicles. Our online course provides an alternative to the 30 hour in-class course, and allows students to set their own schedule. Taking a Driver’s Education Course is required for all students under the age of 17 ½, and is also highly recommended for all new drivers, regardless of age, as adults are required to have an instruction permit while learning to drive. A DL 400C certificate, required by the Ca. DMV, is issued upon completion of course.

All lessons are private and tailored to each students needs. We accommodate each student by offering a variety of schedules for their convenience. Pick-ups are at a mutually agreed upon location such as home, school or work. Lessons are scheduled as six 1 hour sessions or four 90 minute sessions. Both options meet the DMV required 6 hours of Behind-the-Wheel training with a licensed instructor. Lessons are scheduled over the dates between receiving a student driving permit, and taking the behind-the-wheel driving exam. Our drivers are punctual and well trained to provide students a safe, comfortable and confident experience while behind the wheel. Emphasis is placed on safety, skills and knowledge of driving laws while on the road. Students will have an understanding of road signs, traffic lights and road markings, along with defensive driving techniques taught in multiple situations. City driving will emphasize scanning, proper steering, speed control, braking, and various types of parking. Additionally, highway driving skills will include entering and exiting, speed control, proper following distances, driving lane choices and passing. Basic auto mechanics such as reading car fluids levels, tire pressure and understanding dashboard signals are covered as well. A DL 400D certificate, required by the Ca. DMV, is issued upon completion of six hours of lessons

We offer an Extended Lesson Plan that allows additional one-hour lessons per student. These additional hours count towards the parent/student 50 hours required by the California Department of Motor Vehicles.

Use our driver's training vehicle during your DMV Behind-the-Wheel exam. We will pick you up, give you a one hour lesson, and then you can use our car to take your DMV exam.
