Drug and Alcohol Course

Sign up now to take your DHSMV-required drug and alcohol course for $22.00.

Florida driver license requirements state that all Florida teens must complete a State-approved, 4-hour drug and alcohol course (TLSAE course) before they can receive their Florida first time driver license (Florida learner permit).

Will the Drug and Alcohol Course prepare me for my driver license test?

No, you must study the Florida Driver Handbook in order to prepare yourself for the driver license test. The driver license test will evaluate your knowledge of Florida's rules of the road and your ability to correctly identify road signs and lane markings. The Florida drivers handbook contains a list of questions in the last unit that will help you study for your driver license test.

How do I know if I need to take a Drug and Alcohol Course?

If you have never held a Florida driver's license, or a license in another state, or a license from a country that is recognized by the Florida DHSMV, you are required to take a Florida drug and alcohol class before you can obtain a Florida driver license. This is a state law (§322.095, Florida Statutes).

How old do I have to be to take the Drug and Alcohol Course?

You can take the online Florida drug and alcohol course and the driver license test before your 15th birthday. You must be at least 15 years of age to apply for your Florida license (learner permit).

Where can I find more information about licensing requirements?
