In 2010, the California DMV revised several forms and policies regarding student drivers.
IMPORTANT: Provisional instruction permits are not valid until the instruction permit is signed by a licensed or authorized driving instructor or the applicant reaches the age of 17 1/2.
Applicants applying for a provisional instruction permit are required to submit a completion certificate for driver education but are no longer required to provide proof of enrollment in behind-the-wheel training.
Revised and/or new Driver Education and Driver Behind-the-Wheel Training (DE/DT) certificates have been issued.
A copy of the DMV Memo detailing the changes can be found here:

NOTE: The new/revised DE/DT certificates may or may not have a barcode.
DMV Form DL388 Certificate of Completion of Both Driver Education and Driver Training is now obsolete.
By revising current certificates and creating new certificates specifically designed to define each type of DE/DT course, DMV will be able to collect data on the different types of drivers education and training courses. The data will provide the necessary information to evaluate the effectiveness of the Drivers Education/Driver Training courses offered by driving schools, public schools, private schools and the private school satellite programs.
