# How to Complete Florida’s 6-Hour DETS Course Online (Step by Step)

Getting your Florida learner’s permit or driver’s license under the age of 18 starts with one key step: completing the Driver Education Traffic Safety (DETS) course. This 6-hour program, approved by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV), is designed to teach you everything from basic traffic laws to defensive driving and awareness behind the wheel.


If you’re ready to start, here’s a simple step-by-step guide to completing the **American Safety online DETS course** and getting your completion certificate fast.




## Step 1: Register for the DETS Course Online


Visit **American Safety’s DETS course page** and click **“Enroll Now.”**


You’ll create an account using your name, date of birth, and email — make sure your information matches what you’ll use when applying for your learner’s permit.


*Tip:* American Safety’s course is state-approved and reports completion directly to the FLHSMV, so there’s no need to mail in your certificate.




## Step 2: Work at Your Own Pace


The **DETS course** takes about 6 hours total, but it’s **self-paced and fully online**, allowing you to log in and out as needed. You can complete it from your phone, tablet, or computer — anytime, anywhere.


Each section includes interactive lessons that cover:



Florida traffic laws and road signs
Defensive driving and safe decision-making
DUI awareness and substance abuse prevention
Night driving and weather safety



## Step 3: Complete Quizzes Along the Way


After each module, you’ll take short quizzes to test your understanding. These help reinforce what you’ve learned and prepare you for the final exam.


You can retake quizzes if needed, and you’ll receive feedback right away so you can move forward confidently.




## Step 4: Pass the Final Exam


At the end of the course, you’ll take a brief multiple-choice exam. Don’t worry — everything on it is covered in the lessons and quizzes.


Once you pass, American Safety automatically processes your results and reports your completion to the Florida DHSMV. You’ll also receive a downloadable 6-hour DETS certificate for your records.




## Step 5: Submit Your Certificate


When applying for your **learner’s permit or driver’s license**, the DHSMV will verify your completion electronically. If needed, you can present your American Safety DETS certificate as proof.


*Tip:* Completing DETS does not replace your **Florida Class E Knowledge Exam**, but it is required before you take it.
