Frequently Asked Questions

More questions? Email us at support@bestoperatorcourse.com.

Is this 4 hour renewal course approved by the California DMV?

Yes. Best Operator Course is licensed by the California DMV, and our certificate is accepted for TVS operator license renewal.

Do I have to retake the DMV exam to renew?

No. Completing an approved 4 hour continuing education course counts in place of the renewal examination.

How much does renewal cost in total?

The DMV charges $76 ($75 renewal plus $1 family support). Add the 4 hour course at $75, paid only after you pass, for $151 all in.

How early can I renew?

Do not wait for your expiration month. You can take the course and file form OL 756 ahead of your date, which protects you from processing delays.

I operate more than one school. Do I take the course for each one?

Generally no. A course certificate is valid for one year from completion for any operator application (13 CCR 345.76), so one course a year can cover the renewal for each school you operate. Each school still needs its own renewal filed with the DMV.

What if my operator license already expired?

Once it lapses you are back on the original application path: the 8 hour course, the written exam, and full DMV fees.

How soon will I get my certificate?

Instantly. Your electronic certificate is ready the moment you pass, and a printed copy is mailed within 2 business days.
