If a school bus certificate was issued on June 27, 2006, how many training hours must the driver have during that period if their next birthday is August 27, 2006?

The requirement for training hours for a school bus driver is based on the period between the issuance of the certificate and their next birthday. In this scenario, the certificate was issued on June 27, 2006, and the driver’s next birthday is August 27, 2006. This indicates a time span of two months.

For drivers with certificates that are less than two years old, California law stipulates a minimum of one hour of training for each year of the certificate's validity, proportionate to the time between the certificate issuance and the driver's birthday. Since the time period here is slightly over two months, the resulting training requirement aligns with the one-hour minimum stipulated for that timeframe.

Thus, the driver must complete 1 hour of training before their next birthday, making that the correct answer.
