Individuals who are under 18 years old and have never held a driver license from any other state, country or jurisdiction must complete a 6-hour DETS course before applying for a license in Florida. Driver Education Licensing Assistance Program (DELAP) courses offered by some county school boards may substitute for this requirement. Contact the local school board for further information.
