Florida APPROVED Driving School's Online DETS Course. Self Paced, No Hidden Fees.
Getting behind the wheel is more than a rite of passage; it’s a responsibility. Florida’s new Online Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course is designed to help new drivers build confidence, develop safe habits, and understand the serious responsibilities that come with earning a driver’s license.
The Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course is a 6-hour, state-approved driver education program created by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV) to replace the former 4-hour TLSAE course for most teen drivers. This course is also available online for added convenience.
Beginning August 1, 2025, all applicants under the age of 18 who have never held a driver’s license in any state must successfully complete an online DETS course before they can apply for a Florida learner’s permit. This new requirement ensures that every young driver receives modern, comprehensive training aligned with today’s traffic conditions and safety standards.
You must complete the DETS course online if:
You are under 18 and applying for a Florida learner’s permit for the first time.
You have never held a license from another jurisdiction.
You are not required to take the DETS course online if:
You already completed a TLSAE course before August 1, 2025.
You already hold a valid driver’s license from another state or country.
Length: Minimum of 6 hours
Delivery: 100% online, mobile-friendly, and self-paced for your convenience.
Approval: Fully licensed and approved by the Florida Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV).
Completion Reporting: Your results are automatically submitted to FLHSMV through the Driver Improvement Certificate Issuance System (DICIS).
Fees: Unlike our competitors, THERE ARE ZERO hidden fees. You pay one price for this online course!
There may be several DETS providers offering online courses — but not all are created equal. Here’s why our program stands out:
