The California Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) allows a traffic violator instructor (TVI) to substitute proof of participation in traffic safety seminars or courses, consisting of a minimum of 18 hours, in lieu of passing a DMV-administered written examination when renewing their license every three years. This 6-hour continuing professional education program, when completed annually, is intended to fulfill that requirement of TVI license renewal.

Absolutely! One of the primary goals of this course is to keep traffic violator instructors up-to-date on traffic laws, traffic violator school curriculum requirements, and DMV regulations. In fact, the content is continually updated, as necessary, and your account always remains active—so you can sign in and use this program as a helpful resource whenever you need it!

Definitely not! Our easy-to-read course is informative, and it's loaded with colorful graphics and helpful charts to explain everything you need to know to get your completion certificate. Best of all, you can read the course material at your own pace, wherever it's convenient for you (even on your mobile device!). And the final exam is open-book. It doesn't get much easier than that!

The term of a Traffic Violator Instructor (TVI) license is three years; and in order to substitute continuing professional education for the DMV-administered exam, you must demonstrate proof of participation in 18 hours of seminars or courses. This 6-hour course, when completed annually, will allow you to fulfill that requirement of TVI license renewal.

If you come back to our course when it's time to renew, we'll even give you a loyalty discount on the price of the program!

TVSs—even those that offer only Internet or home study programs—are required to have a licensed instructor available to answer student questions. This course discusses information relevant to all modalities of traffic school delivery, and you may be tested on any of the material in the program. However, the vast majority of the information applies across all modalities.

The DMV allows traffic school instructors to substitute proof of participation in traffic safety seminars or courses, consisting of a minimum of 18 hours, in lieu of passing a DMV-administered written examination when renewing their license every three years. This course, when completed annually, is intended to fulfill that requirement of TVI license renewal. The timed program is, therefore, comprised of six hours of instructional time, with a short final exam that is administered at the end.

Beyond that minimum time requirement, you are free to take as much—or as little—time as you like. The computer tracks your progress through the course. If you log out and then sign back in, you'll be taken to the "Student Center" (table of contents) page. From there you'll be able to continue with the course where you left off, and you'll have access to completed sections for review.

Yes! Our course has been optimized to work well on smartphones and tablets. You can register and complete the entire course from the convenience of your mobile device.

A 25-question, multiple-choice final exam is administered at the end of the course. Our comprehensive, easy-to-read course material will prepare you to pass the open-book final exam on your first try, but you're allowed three attempts. Don't worry: We're so sure of the educational quality of our program that we guarantee you'll get your certificate or you can take the course again for free (simply contact our customer service department to have your account reset)! And don't forget the final exam is open-book!

You must submit your completion certificates (a total of three, accumulating one each year for three years) to the DMV with your application for renewal of a TVI license. We'll send a certificate directly from our office to you upon your successful completion of the course.

If you ever have a question about your certificate, we're here to help!

You can finish reading the course in as little as 6 hours, and we offer affordable expedited shipping options. Call our customer service department to get your certificate mailed the same day you complete the course.
