Ready to get out there on the road? Our TLSAE course and permit test bundle option is a great way to satisfy the requirements for your Learner's License. Skip the hassle of classroom courses or taking the permit test
at the crowded Florida driver license agency and complete both of these requirements online from the comfort of your own home.
How It Works
You can complete your Florida TLSAE course and permit test requirements in 3 easy steps!
Step One: Register
Registration is quick and easy! You'll create an account with your username and password and fill out your contact information. You'll also need to supply a unique identifier, which can be the last five digits of your
Social Security Number, your alien registration number, your admissions number, or your Florida ID card.
During registration, you'll also answer personal validation questions, which you'll be asked to recall your answers for during the TLSAE course. Here's an example of a personal validation question: "What's your favorite candy?"
You must be at least 14 years and 6 months old and under the age of 18 to take the permit test online. If you are under 14 years and 6 months old or if you are 18 or older, you cannot purchase the bundle option.
Step Two: Complete the TLSAE Course and Permit Test
You can complete the TLSAE course and permit test in whichever order you prefer.
Florida TLSAE Course
The TLSAE course is 4 hours long and is divided into 10 short lessons on topics ranging from the physiological effects of drugs and alcohol to how to drive safely in bad weather. Each lesson is full of fun videos, animations and games. You can complete the course at your own pace--come and go as you please. Every time you log in, we'll take you to where you last left off.
At the end of each lesson is a short multiple-choice quiz. You must score at least 80% on the quiz to pass. If you don't pass on the first try, don't worry! You can take the quiz as many times as you need to pass at no additional charge.
During the TLSAE course, you will be asked one validation question after each of the first five lessons. An example of a validation question is "What is your favorite color?" You must answer the question
correctly to proceed with the course. You have 10 minutes and 3 attempts to answer the question correctly. If you do not answer the question correctly within that 10-minute time frame and within the 3 attempts, the State of Florida requires that we block you from completing the course.
At the end of the TLSAE course is a 40-question multiple-choice final exam. You must score at least 80% to pass. Most people pass on their first attempt, but you can take the exam as many times as you need to get a passing score.
Florida Permit Test
Prior to starting the exam, you will be asked to verify your name and date of birth.
The permit test consists of 50 multiple-choice questions on road signs and traffic laws. You must answer 40 questions correctly to pass. Each question is immediately graded as soon as you confirm your answer selection, so you will know right away if you got a question correct or incorrect. You should study the Florida Driver License Handbook to help you prepare for the test. You can view the Florida Driver License Handbook here.
Once you answer 40 questions correctly, you have passed the exam and the exam will end. You have 60 minutes to complete the exam.
The Florida driver license agency requires that you remain active in the permit test while you’re taking it and that you don’t navigate away from the test to outside webpages. If you navigate away from the test window, your exam will automatically count as a failed attempt. You must answer each exam question within 3 minutes or the exam will be terminated and counted as a failed attempt.
The State of Florida allows you 3 attempts to pass the Florida Permit Test online. If you fail the test a third time, you will be required to retake the exam at a local Florida driver license agency. Don't worry, we're confident you'll pass!
Please note that you must pay for each online exam attempt. Unfortunately, the Florida driver license agency charges us for every online exam attempt, which is why you must pay each time you take the exam. Don’t worry! Safe2Drive includes free practice tests to help you prepare, so be sure to study hard!
Your parent or guardian must supervise you as you take the permit test. Before you can begin the exam, your parent or guardian must provide their Driver License number and acknowledge that they are proctoring the exam.
Step Three: Your TLSAE Course and Permit Test Completions Are Automatically Submitted to the Florida Driver License Agency for You
Your TLSAE course and permit test completions are automatically submitted to the Florida driver license agency for you. These completions are separate and will be submitted at the time each item is completed (i.e., we submit your TLSAE completion as soon as you complete the course and your permit test completion is submitted as soon as you pass the permit test). We also provide you with a FREE copy of your Receipt of Completion for the TLSAE course and the permit test that you can keep for your records.
Please note that it takes approximately 48 hours for your TLSAE course completion to be annotated on your record once we report it.
Random Re-examination
Students who take the permit test online may be randomly selected for re-examination at the driver license office prior to issuance of your license. You must pass the re-examination to get your license.
