they tell you when you sign up for the course online and during the course. he also mentioned that he just took it 3 weeks ago. i took it about the same time as well and have my M certification on my license now as well. You will need your license on the final day so they can fill out the necessary paperwork to send to dmv i believe. They asked everyone to show it at some point, but i can't remember if they took it and copied it or just looked at it and gave it back.
