Frequently Asked Questions
Can I attend several times per week to complete the program faster?
State law mandates the length of the program; therefore the program cannot be accelerated.

Leaves of absence procedures for work travel, vacation, illness, incarceration, jury duty, military duty and chemical dependency treatment may be approved by the program. A complete explanation will be provided at the initial orientation.

What if I sign-up for classes and my work or school hours change?

There are State licensed programs throughout California. Your class hours can be transferred. Contact the administration office PRIOR to leaving and request a transfer.
What if I start the program and get another DUI or get convicted of a pending case?
Notify the administrative office immediately and you will be informed of the appropriate procedure to ensure you are complying with the courts and the DMV.
What if I start the program and get dismissed for failing to follow the rules?
State law requires you to reinstate without losing credit for hours completed up to two years from your termination date.
