Can I take the course on my phone?

Instead of spending the 24 hours it takes to complete the driver's ed course in a classroom, you can take it online. Better yet, with Coastline Academy you can do the entire course on your phone. Or jump back and forth between your phone, tablet, and computer. You'll get the information you need to pass your permit test and start driving.

Are there practice tests?

Yes! Every section ends with a practice test that you can take as many times as you need. After 6 hours of coursework, you will be able to take the licensing test.
