Short Answer
Yes. The Florida 4-Hour Basic Driver Improvement (BDI) course is designed for flexibility. You can start and stop the course as often as you like, and your progress is saved automatically.
Flexible Course Access
You are not required to finish the BDI course in a single sitting.
The course is divided into short sections, allowing you to pause whenever you need a break.
Whether you complete it in one day or over several sessions, your progress will always be saved.
Why this matters: Many students fit the course into busy schedules by spreading it out across multiple days.
Automatic Save and Resume
Progress is recorded in real time, so you won’t lose your place if you log out or close your browser.
When you log back in, you will return to the last completed page.
You can resume from any device — computer, tablet, or smartphone.
Deadlines to Keep in Mind
While you can pause and resume freely, you must complete the course by the deadline set by your county clerk, court, or FLHSMV.
Voluntary/Election Cases: Typically 30–90 days to finish.
Court-Ordered Cases: Some counties require submission in as few as 5–10 days.
Always check your citation, court paperwork, or clerk’s instructions.
