4-Hour
Florida First Time Driver
/ Learner's Permit Course (TLSAE)— $29.00
This is the course
that is required for all first time drivers before they can
obtain their first Class E driver's license in Florida. This
course fulfills the State's requirement for attendance of
a Traffic Law Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) program, also
sometimes called a "drug and alcohol" course or
a "learner's permit" course.
NOTE: Drivers who have been licensed in another state
DO NOT have to take this course. If you have a driver's license
from another country, please check with your local Florida
driver's license office to find out whether you are required
to complete the TLSAE course before obtaining your Florida
license.
8-Hour
Florida Court or Judge
Ordered Traffic School (IDI)— $59.95
You can
sign up for this course if you have been ordered by
a Florida judge or court to attend an 8-hour Intermediate
Driver Improvement (IDI) course. Our course is approved
in all 67 counties in Florida. Some counties (primarily
Miami-Dade, Broward, Palm Beach, and Orange) allow a
driver to elect to attend an IDI course if he or she
has already elected to attend a 4-hour Basic Driver
Improvement course within the past calendar year. If
you are not sure whether this is the course you need,
please review the paperwork you received from the court
or contact the court for assistance. NOTE: This
is not an Aggressive Driving or DWLSR course!
If your Florida
driver's license has been suspended or revoked, you are required
to enroll in a 12-hour Advanced Driver Improvement course
before your license can be reinstated or before you can apply
for a hardship license. Completion of an ADI course is also
required for drivers who have been classified as Habitual
Traffic Offenders (HTOs). This course can also be taken by
a driver who has been ordered by a Florida judge or court
to complete a 12-hour ADI program.
