Easiest Florida Driver's Ed Course

The DETS course is required if you are under 18, have never held a driver license from any U.S. state, country, or jurisdiction, and want to apply for a Florida learner’s license. 

You must complete the DETS course before your Florida learner’s license application can be processed. 

You may be able to begin the DETS course before you turn 15, depending on course enrollment rules. However, Florida requires you to be at least 15 years old to apply for a learner’s license. 

You can complete the course in advance and have your completion ready when you are eligible to apply. 

If you already hold a valid out-of-state learner’s permit or driver license and are transferring to Florida, you may not be required to complete the DETS course. Check with FLHSMV or your local driver license office to confirm your specific situation before enrolling. 

If you completed the TLSAE course before August 1, 2025, you may be grandfathered in and allowed to use that TLSAE completion certificate for up to one year from your course completion date. If that one-year window has passed and you have not obtained your Florida learner’s license, you must complete the DETS course. 

Yes. Certain Florida Department of Education Traffic Safety-Classroom courses, including 1900300 or 1900310, may satisfy the DETS requirement. 

The course covers Florida traffic laws and road signs, defensive driving techniques, hazard recognition, teen-specific risk factors, distracted and drowsy driving, substance abuse awareness, the effects of alcohol and drugs on driving, managing visibility, time, and space in traffic, and Florida’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program requirements and restrictions. 

All content meets or exceeds the FLHSMV and Florida Department of Education Traffic Safety-Classroom 1900300 curriculum requirements. 

The DETS course covers important Florida traffic laws, road rules, and safe driving concepts that can help you prepare for the Florida Class E Knowledge Exam. However, the DETS course is not the same as the Class E Knowledge Exam. The knowledge exam is a separate Florida licensing test required to get a learner’s license. We recommend reviewing the official Florida Driver License Handbook after completing the DETS course so you are fully prepared for the 50-question Class E Knowledge Exam. 

Florida’s Graduated Driver Licensing (GDL) program is the step-by-step licensing process for teen drivers. 

• Learner’s license: You must be at least 15 years old, complete the DETS requirement, pass the Class E Knowledge Exam, and pass the vision and hearing screening. A learner’s license must be held for at least 12 months or until age 18, whichever comes first. You must also complete at least 50 hours of supervised driving, including 10 hours at night. 

• Driver license at age 16: After meeting Florida’s requirements, a 16-year-old driver may receive a driver license with restrictions. Driving is allowed only between 6 AM and 11 PM unless driving to or from work or accompanied by a licensed driver age 21 or older. 

• Driver license at age 17: A 17-year-old driver may drive only between 5 AM and 1 AM unless driving to or from work or accompanied by a licensed driver age 21 or older. 

• Full license: At age 18, the time-of-day driving restrictions no longer apply. 

Yes. The entire course is completed online. No classroom is required. You can complete the course on your phone, computer, or tablet, anywhere and at any time. 

You can use a smartphone, tablet, or computer. No downloads or special software are required. You can start on one device and switch to another without losing your progress. 

Yes. Your progress saves automatically. You can stop when needed and resume where you left off, on any compatible device.

Yes. There is a multiple-choice quiz at the end of the DETS course. This is the course quiz only. It is not the Florida Class E Knowledge Exam. The course quiz has 40 questions. You need to score 80% or higher, which means at least 32 correct answers, to pass the course and receive your completion certificate. You have up to three attempts to pass the course quiz. If you do not pass after the allowed attempts, you may need to restart the course from the beginning. 

The Florida Class E Knowledge Exam is a separate licensing test required by the state. 

Your enrollment is valid for 90 days from the date you enroll. Complete the course and pass the course quiz within this window to receive your certificate. 

Yes. IMPROV electronically reports your course completion to the FLHSMV after you finish the course and pass the course quiz. A physical certificate is not required by FLHSMV, but you may keep a copy of your completion certificate for your records. 

After you finish the course and pass the course quiz, we electronically report your completion to the FLHSMV. You can also download your completion certificate from the learning portal. 

After completing the DETS course, follow these steps to get your Florida learner’s license: 

1. Study the official Florida Driver License Handbook available at flhsmv.gov. 
2. Take and pass the Florida Class E Knowledge Exam. This is a separate state licensing test. IMPROV does not currently offer the Class E Knowledge Exam. 
3. Gather your required documents, including proof of identity, proof of Social Security number, two proofs of Florida residential address, and parental consent if you are under 18. 
4. Visit a FLHSMV driver license service center or Tax Collector’s office with a parent or guardian if required. 
5. Pass the vision and hearing screening, pay the applicable fees, have your photo taken, and receive your learner’s license. 

No. The course fee covers your full course access and completion certificate. There are no hidden charges. Florida learner’s license fees, Class E Knowledge Exam fees, and other FLHSMV or Tax Collector costs are separate and paid outside of this course.
