Court-Ordered DUI Classes in Florida
In Florida, the court-ordered DUI/DWI education requirement is the DUI Program (DUI school), overseen by the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles (FLHSMV). Here's how it works, whether an online class is accepted, and how to find a provider your court will accept.
Quick answer: in person or online in Florida?
In-person required. FLHSMV describes Florida DUI programs as classroom instruction in a group setting (12 hours for Level I, 21 hours for Level II), and you may only attend a program serving the county where you live, work, or attend school — so a generic self-paced online DUI class does not satisfy Florida court or licensing requirements. Your court and the FLHSMV decide what counts — confirm the format and the specific provider before you enroll or pay.
Program structure in Florida
| Program / level | Length | Applies to |
|---|---|---|
| Level I | Minimum 12 hours (classroom) | First-time DUI offenders |
| Level II | Minimum 21 hours (classroom, group of up to 15) | Drivers with multiple/repeat DUI offenses |
Florida-specific rules to know
- Florida DUI programs are non-profit organizations licensed and monitored by FLHSMV’s Bureau of Motorist Compliance under Florida Statutes 322.292–322.293.
- You may only attend a DUI program serving the county of your residence, employment, or school.
- Level II (multiple offenders) is frequently paired with treatment from a Florida Department of Children and Families (DCF)-licensed provider.
- If your license is reinstated after the revocation period ends, the DUI school must be finished within 90 days or the license is canceled.
