Ask About a CourseOnline Driving School FAQs
Are your Florida online driving courses state approved?
Yes. Our Florida driver education (DETS), traffic school and driver improvement (BDI), aggressive driving, wireless communications, advanced driver improvement (ADI), and mature driver courses are state-approved for their intended Florida licensing or court purpose, so the completion certificate you receive is accepted where it is required.
Can I take Florida traffic school online?
Yes. Both our 4-Hour and 8-Hour Florida Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) courses are available 100% online. You can complete the state-approved traffic school course at your own pace on a phone, tablet, or computer, and your completion is reported to the Florida DMV electronically.
Do I need the Florida 6-hour driver education course?
If you are applying for your first Florida driver's license and you are under 18, Florida law (Florida Statute 322.095) requires you to complete a state-approved 6-hour Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course before taking the permit exam and applying for a learner's permit.
Is the Florida online permit exam the official test?
Yes. The Florida Online Permit Exam is the official 50-question Class E Knowledge Test, provided by an external exam provider. You must be under 18 to take it online, and we report your results to the Florida DMV immediately upon completion.
Will my course completion be reported to the Florida DMV?
Yes. When you finish an approved Florida course, we electronically submit your completion to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), so your certificate is on file when you visit your local office.
How long do the online courses take and can I go at my own pace?
Every course is self-paced and completed entirely online, with no classroom visits required. Required courses, such as the 6-hour DETS or the 4-hour First Time Driver course, take the number of hours stated in their title, while our supplemental skills courses can be finished in a single sitting.
