You may want to call Standard Driving School directly to find out if they offer a state-certified behind-the-wheel training course.
I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in California, so taking a San Francisco behind-the-wheel training course like the one Standard Driving School offers is not necessary. Is that true?
You should contact the California DMV or a licensed driving school like Standard Driving School and ask them. While parent-taught driving instruction is permitted in some states, many states do NOT allow it.

I don't live anywhere near a city. There are dirt roads and bumpy terrain all around my house. How do I know if Standard Driving School will train me on how to drive in a remote area like where I live and not just teach me how to drive in a town-or city-type environment?
