Getting your first Florida driver's license? If you're 18 or older, the state requires you to complete a 4-hour Drug and Alcohol Course before you can apply. This course, officially known as Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education (TLSAE), is your first step toward becoming a licensed driver in Florida.
What Is the Florida Drug and Alcohol Course (TLSAE)?
The TLSAE course—also called the DATA (Drug, Alcohol, and Traffic Awareness) course or First Time Driver Course—teaches you how alcohol and other substances impair driving ability. You'll also learn Florida's traffic laws, safe driving techniques, and how to make responsible decisions behind the wheel.
The Florida drug and alcohol course is approved by the Florida DMV (FLHSMV) and satisfies the mandatory Traffic Law and Substance Abuse Education requirement. Whether you call it the TLSAE course, DATA course (Drug, Alcohol and Traffic Awareness), or simply the Florida drug and alcohol class—it's the same 4-hour program required by state law.
This 4-hour online program is designed for first-time license applicants ages 18 and up. It's interactive, easy to follow, and broken into seven lessons covering everything from physiological effects of drugs to Florida's graduated licensing laws.
✅ Once you pass the final exam with a score of 80% or higher, we'll send your completion certificate directly to the FLHSMV. You'll also receive a copy via email for your records.
