I'm a bit confused right now, according to DMV I need to complete the followings to get a permit:

1. At least 15 years old
2. Fill out DMV application (DL44)
3. Obtain your parents or guardian signature on the application form
4. Present an acceptable birth data/legal presence document
5. Have completed Drivers Education
6. Provide social security number
7. Pay a $12 application fee
8. Pass the drivers permit test

But then I was looking for online Driver's Ed and they said that they'll send me a certificate after completing the online course. So does that certificate fulfills #5 mentioned above?
