Q. I'm am getting my dealer license for the first time, can I take the class online?
A. No. DMV requires that first time dealer license students attend a 6 hour in person class. Upon class completion you will be issued a certificate which you then take to your local DMV inspector to show proof of your class completion. While we prepare you for the test (study guide included), you will need to take your test with DMV. To find out more go to:

Q. I went to your course a few months and got my certificate, what is my next step?
A. You must call the DMV inspector in your area: www.dmv.ca.gov/fo/inspector_office.htm and schedule to take the test. This is when you present your certificate you have received from our course.

You also need your fingerprints which are done at the county sheriff's office: www.dmv.ca.gov/vehindustry/ol/livescan.htm

The form you need to fill out and submit to DMV is in this package: www.dmv.ca.gov/vehindustry/ol/forms/vehicledealer.htm
