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 allow your completion information to be transmitted electronically to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles. You must answer 32 of the 40 questions correctly to pass the exam.

After registering, completing the course and passing the final exam, your completion will be transmitted electronically to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles, due to the fact that the Department no longer accepts paper certificates.
