If you have never been issued a drivers license in any state or country the state of Florida requires that you complete a Drug and Alcohol course.

Drug and Alcohol courses teach drivers how drugs and alcohol affect driving, traffic responsibilities and laws and techniques for safe driving.

While teenagers getting their learners permit (restricted license) typically take this course, adults who have never held a drivers license must take it as well.
Once you complete a Drug and Alcohol course the State of Florida requires that you pass a written exam that tests your knowledge of road signs and road rules. The Florida Permit Exam is 50 questions. Approximately 5 of the questions test your knowledge of road signs and 45 questions test road rules.
Both the traffic schools listed offer a course that prepares you to pass the Florida Permit Test the first time. A high percentage of people fail the Florida Permit Test the first time they take it. In that situation you have to go home, make a new appointment and return the DMV to take the test over.
NOTE: As of 2015, the Florida Permit Test CAN be taken online by those under 18 — if you are 18 or older you must take the Florida Permit Test at a local DMV office.
