51220.6
. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, a private
school is not required to offer courses in driver education or driver
training.
(b) This section shall not be construed to require a private
school to offer automobile driver education that meets the
requirements of this chapter unless the private school requests the
Department of Motor Vehicles to issue a certificate of satisfactory
completion form.
(c) For purposes of subdivision (j) of Section 51220, Section
51220.1, and subparagraph (A) of paragraph (3) of subdivision (a) of
Section 12814.6 of the Vehicle Code, the satisfactory completion by a
pupil of an Internet-based, correspondence, or other
distance-learning course in automobile driver education offered by a
private secondary school satisfies the driver education instructional
requirements of those provisions and the Department of Motor
Vehicles shall issue certificates of satisfactory completion forms if
all of the following conditions are met:
(1) The private secondary school has a current affidavit or
statement on file in compliance with Section 33190.
(2) The private secondary school utilizes the Department of Motor
Vehicles' driver education curriculum developed under subdivision (f)
of former Section 12814.8 of the Vehicle Code for providing the

to the Department of Motor Vehicles that the curriculum used is
educationally equivalent to the Department of Motor Vehicles'
curriculum.
(3) All certificates issued to a private school by the Department
of Motor Vehicles shall remain under the exclusive control of that

enrolled in the private school, and has successfully completed a
driver education course offered by that school.
(4) All course curriculums contain the school name, school
address, and telephone number.
(5) Internet web pages or CD courses are reasonably secure and
protected from unauthorized access, modifications, or extraction of
