DETS Online is a Florida state-approved driver education platform built specifically for teen drivers and their families. Our mission is to make the mandatory 6-hour Driver Education Traffic Safety (D.E.T.S.) course as accessible, engaging, and stress-free as possible — so young drivers can focus on learning the skills that matter most.
Florida law requires all first-time drivers under the age of 18 to complete an approved D.E.T.S. course before obtaining a learner's permit. DETS Online fulfills this requirement completely online, allowing students to study at their own pace, on any device, from anywhere in the state.
Our curriculum covers every topic mandated by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), including traffic laws, road signs, defensive driving, the dangers of impaired and distracted driving, vehicle safety, and emergency procedures. Upon successful completion, your certificate is reported directly to FLHSMV — no paperwork needed.
We also offer bundled packages that include permit practice exams and the official Florida knowledge exam, giving students everything they need in one convenient path. Tens of thousands of Florida teens have already trusted DETS Online to help them take their first step toward independent driving.
DETS Online is operated by a team of driver education professionals committed to road safety and digital accessibility. We partner with state-accredited course providers to ensure our content meets Florida's highest educational standards.
