D.A.T.E. Online Course

The D.A.T.E. Online Course satisfies Florida’s traffic law and substance abuse education course requirements for first-time license applicants.

The online course requires a total of four hours of course time. At the end of four hours a 40 question multiple choice test must be passed to complete the course and receive a certificate necessary for obtaining a drivers license. You must answer 32 of the 40 questions correctly to pass the exam.

After registering, completing the course and passing the final test, your information will be transmitted electronically to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles and appear in their system in approximately 48 hours of completion. You will not receive a certificate.

Once you register you will have 90 days to complete the course. You may take the course at any time of day and pause or exit the course at any time. If you exit the course or have your Internet connection disrupted your total time spent at that point is recorded. You may re-enter the course by entering your test key and you will be redirected back to the position in the course where you exited.
