How quickly can I finish this California Traffic School course?
The great thing about California Traffic School is that you work at your own pace. No one is sitting over your shoulder making you slow down or speed up. The average completion time varies on your reading ability, but should never take more than an actual sit down class.

How long does it take to get the certificate from California Traffic School?
There are different ways of receiving the completion certificate. Because of security reasons, it is impossible for you to print your own certificate, so the original certificate must be sent directly from our office to the court to you (some courts allow email). When you enroll, you may choose for regular mail or expedited service.

Does the California Traffic School course cost anything?
Unfortunately, California Traffic School does have a cost to attend. The price will cover all elements of the course including immediate access to the site (attendance of a test site) and the completion certificate. Regular in-class traffic school courses charge similar fees.

Is the court fee the same as the traffic school fees?
Unfortunately, all fees paid to the court are separate from fees paid for actual traffic school. Although many courts call the $29 or $30 paid in addition to the bail amount a "traffic school" fee, it is actually only an administrative fee. California Traffic School/e State Traffic School is privately owned and operated and does charge a fee....as do all traffic schools.

I just got knocked off line in the middle of a section. What do I do now?
Many Internet users are knocked off line frequently. This may result from a lost Internet connection, another call interrupting your connection if you are on a single line with call waiting, or simply because your own computer crashes. Remember, as you complete each section of the course, your progress is logged. Completion of chapter one, for example, cannot be lost if your answers are submitted to the system and graded on screen. Being knocked off line at that point, will only bring you back to the start of the next chapter, it will not delete chapter one. Our website is unable to control your Internet connection and inactivity on your part will not result in our system knocking you off line. Any activity requirements will be on the part of your Internet service provider.

Are there any special computer or download requirements to participate in the course?
There are no videos to download in our program and no special requirements of your computer. If you are on this screen and on our website, you can enroll and complete the course without a problem.

What happens if I fail the final? Can I take it again?
You may take the final an unlimited number of times without having to pay a retake fee. A new final will appear on screen immediately when you fail.
