How to Obtain a SETAF Driver's License

Orientation/Testing method:

You can choose to take the orientation and test “in person” at the DTTS Office, or use the JKO U.S. Forces Driver’s Training Program for Europe online course.  No switching between the two testing methods.  

JKO Method:

U.S Forces personnel, civilians and family members stationed or scheduled to deploy to Europe can take their certificate of license training and exam online at Joint Knowledge Online (JKO). Individuals with a Common Access Card (CAC) can login to JKO and create an account.

Non-CAC holders must request a sponsored account by signing up with JKO. Sponsored accounts must use the USERID and PASSWORD issued by JKO to access the system and take the exam.

• Go to JKO at https://jko.jten.mil enter, and log into JKO using whatever method best suits your situation.  Dependents MUST login using their own account; NOT their sponsors CAC card or account. Select the “Course Catalog” tab.  Type “Driver” in the “Title Key Word” field, then select the “Search” button.  Enroll in USA-007 U.S. Forces Driver’s Training Program for Europe (2hrs)

• Go to JKO at https://jko.jten.mil and follow the same instructions as noted above for the Orientation module.  Enroll in USA-007-B U.S. Forces Driver’s Training Program for Europe

** Final Course Exam (2hrs); which is valid for 60 days.

The DTTS office will ensure that you actually took, and passed, the test on JKO prior to issuing a license. The DTTS office cannot issue a SETAF/AFI license on the same day that you take the Final Course Exam. Falsified JKO certificates will result in a 90 day suspension of eligibility for a license.

***If you use the JKO U.S. Forces Driver's Training Program for the testing method, two certificates are required; pre-course and final exam certificates with a passing scores of 85% or higher on the final exam.

In- Person Testing:

Submit a request for a Driver Testing appointment to take the test at the DTTS Office. Testing in-processing begins at 0830
