Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you’re wondering about the TLSAE course.

Real answers to the questions we hear most from first-time Florida drivers.

Yes. Our Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE) course is 100% state-approved by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (DHSMV). Once you complete the course, we electronically report your results to the DHSMV database in real-time, ensuring you are cleared to take your permit exam.

You can complete the course at your own pace. While the state-mandated content takes approximately 4 hours to complete, you have lifetime access to the materials until you pass. Whether you want to finish it in one afternoon or spread it out over a week, your progress is automatically saved every time you log out.

There is no need to stress. Our course includes unlimited final exam attempts at no extra cost. If you don’t pass on your first try, you can simply review the material and retake the test until you succeed. We also offer a 100% pass guarantee—if you don’t pass, we’ll refund your money.

Absolutely. Our platform is mobile-optimized, allowing you to complete your driver education on any device—smartphone, tablet, or laptop. As long as you have an internet connection, you can switch between devices seamlessly without losing your place.

In most cases, no. The TLSAE course is specifically required for individuals applying for their first Florida driver license. However, if your out-of-state license has been expired for more than a year, or if you have had certain legal requirements placed on your driving record, the DHSMV may require you to retake it. We recommend checking your specific status on the official FLHSMV website.

Yes. We are confident in our program, which has served over 500,000 students since 1992. If for any reason you are not satisfied with the course experience, we offer a full refund within the first 30 days of purchase, provided you have not yet completed the final exam and been reported to the state.
