Trigger Full Completion Certificate

The 30-question Texas DPS written knowledge exam is the largest assessment in the course — but it appears at the end of Module 1, not at the end of the full course.

What Triggers the Completion Certificate

Passing the Module 12 quiz — combined with all 12 modules completed and the minimum 22 hours of instructional time accumulated — triggers the automatic issuance of the DE-964 Full Completion Certificate. No additional exam is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to pass a comprehensive exam to get the completion certificate? No. Passing all 12 module quizzes (4 questions each, 70% passing) and meeting the minimum instructional time requirement is all that is needed for the Full Completion Certificate.

Is the DPS exam a final exam for the full course? No. The DPS exam appears at the end of Module 1 and is specifically the gateway to the Learner's Permit. It is not a final assessment for the full 24-hour course.

What if I fail the Module 12 quiz? Retake it immediately — there is no waiting period and no penalty. Like all other module quizzes, Module 12 can be retaken as many times as needed at no extra cost.
