Services | West Central Florida Driver Improvement Inc

We have offices located in Marion, Lake, Citrus, Hernando and Sumter Counties. Classes offered are often required either by the court or the Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. Some classes are taken on a voluntary basis. Class dates and times vary in order to accommodate schedules. Many instances occur in which one’s license may be reinstated by DHSMV by showing proof of enrollment in an approved course.

WCFDI has provided programs and services to these communities for over 25 years. We pride ourselves in efficient communication with the court and the DHSMV regarding student compliance with requirements.

Please feel free to contact us with any additional needs you may have that may not be referenced in this page.

8 Hour Intermediate Driver Improvement Course (On Line, Only!)

Students would select this option ONLY if they have been ordered by a Florida court to attend an 8-hour traffic course. This course is not intended to address court ordered attendance of an Aggressive Driving or DWLSR (Driving While License Suspended/Revoked) course. Finally, as the state of Florida does not directly regulate 8-hour courses, we encourage students to secure acceptance of this online 8-hour course by the court with jurisdiction over their case prior to beginning the course.
