The State of Florida requires new drivers to take the TLSAE course to get a Learner's License or Class E License. If you have never obtained a driver's license in the past, you will be required to take this course. If you already have a driver's license from another state, there is no need to take the TLSAE course – the DHSMV will waive this requirement. However, you must have the old out-of-state license on hand to show proof. If you cannot provide evidence of an out-of-state driver's license, you will be forced to take the course.

Check out our Florida Requirements Guide for detailed information on how to get your driver's license.

You will also need to take the TLSAE course if you are under the age of 21 and received a notice of suspension for driving with a blood-alcohol level of .02 to .05. The FL DHSMV will require you to take this course to reinstate your driver's license.

The drug and alcohol course is 4 hours long. That is the shortest time allowed by Florida DHSMV.

Yes, you can stop at any time. Our system will keep track of your progress. The benefit of taking our drug and alcohol course online is that you can do it at your own pace. There is no need to do all 4 hours at once unless you want to.

However, once you start the exam, you will need to complete the exam without any interruptions. You are allowed only 60 minutes to complete the exam.

Most students pass the final exam the first time. The exam consists of 40 questions, and a passing score is 80% or higher. If you don't pass the final exam the first time, you can retake the final exam as many times as you need to pass. You can always go back and review material during or after the exam, but remember, you only have 60 minutes to complete the exam.

To get your Learner's License or driver's license, you will also need to:

• Pass the Class E Knowledge Exam.
• Pass a vision and hearing test at a local DHSMV office.
• Have a signed or notarized Parental Consent Form (step-parents may not sign unless they have legally adopted the minor child).
• Provide documents needed to establish proof of identity, proof of social security number, and residential address proof.

Yes, our 4-hour drug and alcohol course is certified and approved by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). We are listed as one of the approved providers for the state. See the DHSMV approved listing of TLSAE course providers website.

4. Apply for the Learner's License at a local DHSMV office

Once you finish your TLSAE course, we will immediately provide you with your certificate of completion. You can download your certificate for FREE. Our system reports your completion to the Florida DHSMV as soon as you complete your course.

Please allow 48 hours for Florida DHSMV to process your completion.

Yes, we can make updates to your certificate. Registering with the correct information is essential to avoid any unnecessary delays at the DHSMV office. Double-check your birthday and make sure you spell your legal name correctly and without any abbreviations. Your name information must match your legal documents. If any of the information does not match exactly, the DHSMV agent will not be able to pull up your completion, causing delays.
