You need to be at least 14 ½ years old to take this course and a minimum of 15 years old to apply for your learner’s license with the licensing office (fee required).
Students can work at their own pace but will need to be in the course at least 14 days from their first assignment. Typical students complete the course in 6-8 weeks working approximately 2-3 hours per week. Students can arrange an accelerated schedule with their teacher and finish nearer the two-week mark. Extended schedules are also available if needed. Our mission is that our students learn to reduce their driving risk in an environment that fits their needs.
You sure can. The course adapts its content based on whether a student has a learner’s license, a driver license, or no license at all.
Some insurance companies offer discounts for successful completion of Driver Education. Please check with your insurance provider.
After Florida Virtual School senior and teen driver Breanna was almost hit by an inattentive driver, her perspective as a new driver completely changed. Now, she’s sharing her story to encourage everyone to stay alert on the road.
While earning a learner’s permit or driver’s license means the freedom to hit the road on your own, driving comes with a lot of responsibility. Luckily, Florida Virtual School is full of opportunities for students of all driving levels to get up to speed on what it takes to stay safe while out on the road.
Our Driver Education teachers make a difference in the lives of students every day. In addition to a strong curriculum, the support our online students receive from caring and dedicated teachers sets the Driver Education experience a step above.
