Booklet Course
The PEN Driver Ed Booklet Course is a fast, fun, and easy way to complete your California DMV requirements for driver education without having to spend 30 hours in a boring classroom or an entire semester in a high school class. You can do it from the comfort of your own home, at your own pace, and in your spare time. Although most of our students finish the course very quickly, you have a full 30 days to do so.
It is a top notch course--the only one chosen by the California DMV for their recent 2 year pilot program which concluded that homestudy driver education courses are just as good, if not better, than classroom instruction. Much of the material was obtained directly from publications by the California DMV, the New York
State DMV, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, and the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety.
The course is designed to get you ready for the DMV written test, as well as your driving test,
and will cover many topics such as:
· the tougher laws related to teen drivers here in California
· what to take to the DMV the day of your written test
· what to study to help you pass your written test
· what you will need to know for your DMV behind the wheel road test
· signs, signals, and road markings
· insuring your car
· how to avoid and accident and what to do if you are involved in one
· how to avoid becoming a victim of road rage
It will also encourage you to
· keep your car in good repair
· avoid distractions while driving
· drive defensively
· have a good following distance between you and the car ahead of you
· obey all traffic laws
· maintain a safe speed
· consistently use your seat belt
· and never drive under the influence of alcohol or drugs
It even has a section to help out your parents with choosing a behind the wheel instructor and, of course, many, many tips on how they can teach you to become a good, safe driver. After all, they will have to give you 50 hours of training, ten of which will have to be at night, so they will need to know what to teach you, and more importantly, how to teach you in order to put you at ease and help your confidence and skill level grow right from the start.
The course is divided into four sections:
SECTION 1: DRIVER EDUCATION
SECTION 2:
DRUG & ALCOHOL AWARENESS
SECTION 3: DRIVER TRAINING (BEHIND THE
WHEEL) INFO
SECTION 4: TEST QUESTIONS & ANSWER SHEETS

COURSE WORK You should begin
with the Driver Education Program. The worksheets will direct you as
to what to read, where to locate the answers, the exercises to complete,
and when to take tests.
Grading Policy
WORKSHEETS
Only specific answers will be accepted. In PEN's opinion,
excessively incomplete, illegible, or worksheets without specific answers
will be considered a failure for the program without refund, regardless of
the testing scores.
TESTING
A passing grade = 75% average or higher. Two retests are allowed if
an average of 75% or better is not initially achieved. There is a $5 fee
per retest. The parent or guardian of the minor must administer the tests.
The student must not have access to any of the testing materials until the
corresponding worksheet has been completed. Upon completion of testing,
the parent or guardian must sign, date, and print their California
Driver's License or California Identification Card number on the test
answer sheet where indicated. This certifies that the student
completed the test without help.
Programs must be completed and received by PEN no later than 30 days after
materials were received. Should you require more time to complete
the program, the following fees and terms apply:
Time Extension Fees
10 days = $15
11-30 days = $25
Extension fees must be payable to PEN and
submitted with the completed course work within the designated time.
COMPLETION
You must return the following materials to PEN in the pre-addressed
priority mail envelope provided:
1.) All worksheets
2.) All test answer sheets
3.) All tests
COMPLETION CERTIFICATES
Upon receipt of the student's material it will take PEN up to 10 business
days to correct. Completion certificates will then be mailed upon
successful completion of worksheets and testing. Otherwise, PEN will
mail a notice specifying why the certificate has not been mailed.
PEN's on-line course course consists basically of the same materials but these
are provided electronically thereby eliminating much paperwork and
expediting the process of obtaining your Driver's Ed. Completion
Certificate.
COST
The total cost of the course, including shipping and handling, is
$75.00. This includes the completion certificate.
