DO YOU HAVE QUESTIONS ABOUT FLORIDA DRIVERS ED?

If you are ready to begin your TLSAE course or permit test, but have questions about how it works, you've come to the right place! Some of our most frequently asked questions, like "how long does it take?" and "is this course approved?" are answered below.

Do I need the TLSAE course to get my Florida learners permit?

If you are a first-time driver between 15 and 18 years old, the Florida DHSMV requires that you complete a Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course in addition to passing a permit exam in order to receive a learner's permit. We offer exactly what you need to fulfill this requirement. Teens can take the permit exam when they are 14 1/2 years old, but they must be at least 15 to earn their permit.

Is this program accepted by the State of Florida?

Yes! National Online Traffic Schools is authorized by the State of Florida to offer both the TLSAE course and the Class E Knowledge Exam online. We report your completion directly to the state after you pass.

How does the Drug and Alcohol (TLSAE) course work? Is it like a classroom course?

Online drivers ed works similarly to a classroom course, except that you are in charge. There is no instructor lecturing or setting the pace — you get to set your own schedule and study how you want to. You'll read through the curriculum that has been enhanced with images and videos before proving your understanding with journal questions and quizzes. You'll have unlimited chances to pass each section, so we can guarantee that you will pass!

How long does the TLSAE course take to complete?

The DHSMV requires a 4-hour TLSAE course. The time requirement can be fulfilled as quickly or leisurely as you prefer by logging on and off as you please. After signing up, you will have 90 days to complete the course.

What if I fail a quiz or the final exam in the TLSAE course?

Don't worry! You have unlimited chances to pass each section.

Can I take the required Florida written permit exam online too?

Yes, you will qualify if you are under 18 years old. National Online Traffic Schools is authorized by the State of Florida to offer the permit exam online for students less than 18 years old who would prefer to take it from home.

How many attempts do I have for the permit exam?

You will have three chances to pass the permit exam with a score of 80%. If you do not pass, you will need to repurchase the exam.
