Florida DETS Online Course – Approved Driver Education Traffic Safety

Our 6-hour DETS Course is approved by the Florida DHSMV.

DriveSafeToday’s Florida Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course is a 6-hour Florida DHSMV/FLHSMV-approved driver education program designed for teens and families who want a clear, convenient way to complete Florida’s driver education requirement. As of August 1, 2025, Florida requires individuals who are under 18 and have never held a driver license from another state, country, or jurisdiction to complete a 6-hour DETS course before applying for a license in Florida. Our DETS course is available online, so students can learn from home, from anywhere in Florida, and complete the course in a modern, easy-to-follow format.

Florida 6-hour DETS course for new teen drivers who need to meet state requirements
DHSMV/FLHSMV-approved provider (DriveSafeToday is listed by FLHSMV as an authorized DETS provider)
Meets Florida’s DETS standards
Online convenience so students can complete the course without classroom scheduling

The Florida DETS curriculum is built to help new drivers understand the rules of the road and develop safer decision-making habits before they begin driving independently. You’ll move through easy-to-read sections covering vulnerable road users, core defensive driving techniques, distraction prevention, and strategies for avoiding common roadway hazards. The course also addresses drugs and alcohol, Florida driving regulations, safe vehicle operation, basic car maintenance and safety checks, and special driving conditions such as night driving, heavy traffic, work zones, and bad weather. Interactive content and real-world examples help keep students engaged while reinforcing key safety concepts that support responsible driving.

Plus, enjoy the added convenience of free audio narration to listen along. If you previously completed the 4-hour TLSAE course before the DETS change, Florida allows certain students to use that certificate for a limited time; however, many under-18 applicants will need the new 6-hour DETS course to meet current Florida licensing requirements so it’s important to follow the latest guidance for your situation.
