Why there's no schedule
California requires a six-hour course of study before you take the state exam, but it does not require a classroom. Our course is approved by the Secretary of State and delivered entirely online, so there is nothing to schedule and nowhere to drive.
Start now, finish today
You can enroll and begin immediately. Work through the material at your own pace and complete every section; your Proof of Completion is included.
What you still schedule yourself
The one in-person step is the state exam, which is held weekly at locations across California. You register for that separately and pick the date and place that works for you.
The only thing on a schedule is the state exam, and you choose when and where to take it.
Everything you need for step one, at 65% off the regular price during our Fall Special. Add the study guide at checkout if you'd like a 100% pass guarantee.
