To enroll in the DUI education courses, it is important to carry one of the three (3) following materials: a referral from the Court, a referral from the Riverside County DDP or an H-6 printout from the CA DMV displaying the mandatory program. You're also going to be required to pay your enrollment fee (see Program Fee Structure). As soon as you're signed up, you will have to give your weekly fees, and your self help meeting signature card (issued at enrollment).
California state law determines the duration of the program, meaning that the program can't be sped up. However, a few exceptions to this rule might apply to out-of-state participants where their state authorizes an extended amount of DUI education.
