About the Online Learners Permit Course

Every Florida teen must take a 4-hour learners permit course as required by state law (§322.095, Florida Statutes). The learners permit course (also called TLSAE course, drug and alcohol class, or driving learner permit course) is a requirement for ANY driver who has never had a Florida license or a license from another state.

This course teaches young drivers about the dangers of driving after a person has consumed alcohol or used drugs. The course also deals with the effects of alcohol and drugs on the human body and mind, the importance of wearing safety belts, and what a driver should do in certain emergency situations. Some of these topics are covered in the State of Florida driver handbook, but the learners permit course goes into more detail.

To sign up for the Florida learners permit course offered on our website, just click here. You can take both the drug and alcohol course and your driver license test before your 15th birthday.

About the Driver License Test

The State of Florida driver handbook also contains material that will prepare each Florida teen for his or her driver license test. This is the test that covers Florida road rules and road signs (20 questions on both topics). Unless you pass the driver license test, you can't get a Florida license!
