I heard that parents can fill the role of driving instructor in California, so taking a Irvine driving school course like the one Varsity Driving Academy offers is not necessary. Is that true?

I have no clue how to drive a manual-shift vehicle. What happens if Varsity Driving Academy makes me train on a stick-shift vehicle?
Considering the fact you are a brand new driver, you probably don't know much about operating ANY type of vehicle....manual OR automatic! If you prefer to do your hands-on driver training with an automatic-shift vehicle, you may want to call Varsity Driving Academy and let them know before you enroll in their driver training course. That way you'll know for sure whether Varsity Driving Academy will be able to accommodate you before you pay them any money.
I don't live anywhere near a city. There are dirt roads and bumpy terrain all around my house. How do I know if Varsity Driving Academy will train me on how to drive in a rural area like where I live and not just teach me how to drive in a town-or city-type environment?
Since Varsity Driving Academy is a local driver training company in your area, it's a safe bet that Varsity Driving Academy will be motivated (or perhaps required) to teach its local customers how to drive on bumpy terrain. If you want to make certain, however, you may want to call Varsity Driving Academy to find out exactly what's included in their driver training course before you sign up with them.
After I turn 14, will I be eligible to get my instruction permit so I can begin to learn how to drive?

We suggest that you contact a local driver training school such as Varsity Driving Academy or the California DMV office to learn more about the minimum age requirement for driving in California.
