The Bureau
of Driver Education and DUI Programs provides the oversight
for 26 licensed programs. The Bureau administers Rule
15A-10, F.A.C., including instructor certification and
training, investigating complaints, processing client
appeals, conducting site visits, maintaining quality
assurance, and evaluating programs' effectiveness.
The DUI programs are private and professional non-profit
organizations that are required to provide education,
a psychosocial evaluation and treatment referral services
to DUI offenders to satisfy judicial and driver licensing
requirements. Two educational services are offered -
Level I for first-time offenders and Level II for multiple
offenders. The Level I course is to be a minimum of
12 hours of classroom instruction and incorporates didactic
and interactive educational techniques. The Level II
course is a minimum of 21 hours of classroom time using
primarily interactive educational techniques in a group
setting. The average class size is not to exceed 15
students for Level II. This course focuses on the problems
of the repeat offender and treatment readiness as the
majority of students are referred to treatment. In no
case is placement in Level II used in lieu of treatment.
