Yes. All Florida driver education and traffic school courses are available 100% online through our FLHSMV-approved platform. Complete on any phone, tablet, or computer from anywhere in Florida — no classroom required.

Question 2

What driving course do I need to get my Florida driver's license as a teen?

Accepted Answer

Florida teens under 18 must complete the state-required 6-hour DETS (Driver Education Traffic Safety) online course and pass the Class E Knowledge Exam (permit test) online. Our Full DETS Bundle includes both — everything you need to get your Florida learner's permit in one package.

Question 3

What driving course do I need to get my Florida driver's license as an adult (18+)?

Accepted Answer

New Florida drivers 18 and older must complete the 4-hour TLSAE (Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education) course — also called the First Time Driver course or drug & alcohol course. After completing it online, you then pass the Class E Knowledge Exam at a Florida DMV office and complete a vision and road skills test.

Question 4

How do I get a Florida learner's permit online?

Accepted Answer

Step 1: Complete your required online course — the 6-hour DETS if under 18, or the 4-hour TLSAE if 18+. Step 2: Pass the Class E Knowledge Exam — teens can take it online, adults take it at a Florida DMV office. Step 3: Visit your local Florida DMV with your completion certificate to receive your learner's permit.

Question 5

Can I take the Florida permit test online?

Accepted Answer

Yes — teens ages 14.5 to 17 can take the official Florida Class E Knowledge Test (permit exam) fully online. Results are reported directly to the FL DMV. If you have already attempted the exam in-person at the DMV, you are no longer eligible to take it online.

Question 6

What is the Florida DETS course and who needs it?

Accepted Answer

DETS (Driver Education Traffic Safety) is a state-required 6-hour online driver education course for Florida teens under 18 applying for a learner's permit. It covers traffic laws, defensive driving, DUI consequences, and vehicle safety. Completion is automatically reported to the FLHSMV.

Question 7

What is the Florida TLSAE course and who needs it?

Accepted Answer

The TLSAE (Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education) — also called the First Time Driver course or drug & alcohol course — is required for all new Florida drivers 18 and older before they can get a learner's permit or driver's license. It's a 4-hour online course covering Florida traffic law and substance abuse education.

Question 8

What is the difference between the TLSAE and DETS course?

Accepted Answer

The TLSAE (4-hour) is for new Florida drivers 18 or older. The DETS (6-hour) is for Florida teens under 18. If you are under 18, you need the DETS — not the TLSAE. Both are available 100% online.

Question 9

How do I take Florida traffic school online?

Accepted Answer

Register for the 4-Hour BDI (Basic Driver Improvement) course on our FLHSMV-approved platform. Complete it at your own pace from any device. The BDI course dismisses Florida traffic tickets, prevents points on your license, and qualifies you for auto insurance discounts. Accepted by all Florida courts statewide.

Question 10

I need to reinstate my Florida driver's license — what course do I need?

Accepted Answer

Drivers facing Florida license suspension or revocation must complete the 12-Hour ADI (Advanced Driver Improvement) course. It is required for license reinstatement and court-ordered ADI cases. Available 100% online, self-paced, and FLHSMV-approved.

Question 11

I received a court order for a driving course in Florida — what do I do?

Accepted Answer

We offer every court-ordered driving course in Florida online: the 4-Hour BDI for standard ticket dismissal, the 8-Hour Aggressive Driver Improvement course, the 12-Hour ADI for license reinstatement, and the Wireless Communication Device Safety course for cell phone violations. All are FLHSMV-approved and accepted statewide.

Question 12

How old do you have to be to get a driver's license in Florida?

Accepted Answer

In Florida, teens can get a learner's permit at age 15 (after completing the DETS course and passing the permit exam). A restricted driver's license is available at 16 after holding a permit for 12 months. A full Class E driver's license is available at 18. Adults 18+ can get their first Florida driver's license after completing the TLSAE course and passing the required tests.

Question 13

Does Florida require a driving course to keep your license?

Accepted Answer

Florida does not require a renewal driving course to maintain a valid license unless you receive a traffic citation or court order. However, drivers who receive traffic tickets may need the BDI course to dismiss points, and drivers with suspended or revoked licenses may need the 12-Hour ADI course to reinstate them. Drivers 55+ can optionally take the Mature Driver course for a mandatory insurance discount.

Question 14

Are Florida driving courses available in Spanish?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The DETS, TLSAE, BDI, ADI, and Permit Exam are all available in Spanish (Disponible en español) to serve all Florida families.

Question 15

Are these courses approved by the Florida DMV (FLHSMV)?

Accepted Answer
