Florida Online Drivers Education - Parents Resource Guide

While your teen is ecstatic about finally getting their first taste of independence, you are naturally worried about their well-being once they hit the road. Will they follow the rules properly? Have they been taught the skills they need? Are they ready to handle such an enormous responsibility?

We are here to ease your fears with a Florida drivers education course that puts your teen's safety first. With state-approved lessons and an online platform that adapts to your teen's needs, you can rest assured that they will learn every skill they need before ever sitting behind the wheel.

Our Online Format Makes it Easy

This course is perfect for any learning style. Your teen has the freedom to study several chapters in one sitting, or space out their study sessions and chip away at the course little by little. While classroom courses force students to learn at a set pace and schedule, our online course gives them the ability to pick and choose the best way for them to absorb the information.

• They can log in and out from any computer.
• They can study around their existing schedule.
• They can take a break whenever they feel the need for one.
• They'll never be pressured into rushing through lessons to meet a deadline.

What You Can Expect

As a parent instructor, you will be the primary supervisor over your child's learning and driving skills practice. We want to give you full visibility into exactly what your child will be asked to learn, so you can prepare yourself to help them in any way they may need.

The course uses text lessons in combination with videos, graphics, audio clips, and interactive teaching tools – all aimed at engaging their interest so that they actually remember what they learn. They'll work through each chapter at their own pace, concentrating on one topic at a time as they go.

After passing their final exam, your teen will earn a certificate of completion proving that they have successfully taken a Florida DHSMV-approved drug and alcohol course. We will also report their success directly to the DHSMV. If they have taken their Florida permit exam online as well, those results will be reported to the DHSMV, too.

Parent-Teen Driving Contract

Even after your child has finished their Florida TLSAE Drug and Alcohol course and has earned their license, your journey isn't over. Next, you need to establish ground rules, and agree upon consequences for breaking these rules, while your teen enjoys their new freedom on the road.

To facilitate this process, we offer a free parent-teen driving contract to accompany your teen's TLSAE Drug and Alcohol course. The contract covers basic topics of responsibility – curfew, passenger policies, and even food and drink rules. You can both sit down together and have an open conversation about the restrictions and what the consequences should be if the rules are broken. The contract is 100% editable, so you can tailor it to your family’s specific needs. The idea is for the two of you to reach a mutual agreement on driving rules, so that everyone’s expectations are clear.

So go ahead! Download the parent-teen driving contract today.
