Straight from the MVD Manual of California:

== == You must practice with a parent, guardian, spouse, or an adult 25 years of age or older, who has a valid California driver license. The person must be close enough to take control of the vehicle at any time. A provisional permit does not let you drive alone-not even to a DMV office to take a driving test.

Your scale moves up around 2000 for every year beyond that in education and experience.
