Alcohol Awareness Online Class



 Florida DUI School





Defendants with a DWI, DUI, OVI, MIP (minor in possession) or any other Alcohol or Drug related charge may need to take an alcohol/Drug education program which can be available online for this state.   In many locations, a mandatory alcohol education program, alcohol-Drug awareness class or an intervention program to fulfill court or state-mandated requirements. In most all out-of-state non-resident cases, an online course for Alcohol, MIP or Drug classes are all that is available to the offender. If a person is charged with a DUI – DWI, MIP or Drug Possession in a state other than the state that person resides, an online alcohol awareness or drug program is ideal. If an offender is moving out of state and will become a resident of another state before his trial for that offense, that defendant also may be allowed to take the online course.

Sometimes a defendant and his attorney can agree to a pretrial diversion program for drug crimes of a criminal charge or offense. Many times in an alcohol or drug-related case, the pretrial terms may include a treatment, evaluation, interdiction or simply an online class. The pretrial diversion program for drug crimes is probation or probate sentence after the pre-set date.


Many courts will probate a DUI or DWI for 1, 2 or 3 years depending upon the circumstances of the case. Some courts and prosecutors will consider allowing an online program due to a defendant needing to get to an actual classroom site. If the offender has a suspended driver’s license, then undue hardship is on a family member, relative or friend to drive the offender to a class. You may also need to take a defensive driving course in some jurisdictions to get the suspension lifted.   This course may fulfill your needs and do so from any computer with an internet connection.  The online course is taken at your convenience and at your own pace. No classroom to sit in.







This online course is available in 4, 8, 10, 12, 15, 16, 20 and 24 Hour Alcohol Awareness and Drug Education Programs.  Many courts may need 8 to 12 Hour courses for first-time offenses and longer courses for repeat offenses.  You may begin the course upon registering and continue at your own pace and schedule.




After you complete the course online you will be mailed a certificate of completion.  You may also download and print your Certificate upon completion.
