Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. This identity check is required under current Ohio BMV requirements before any coursework begins. Enrollment takes a few minutes and your 30-day window starts from that point.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. You must pass each quiz to advance, with unlimited free retakes. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The total course runs 8 hours minimum. Submit the certificate to the BMV for your point credit or to your Summit County court for a court-ordered case.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves forward until the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course is finished and the certificate is submitted. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you only 30 days from enrollment to complete the course before a reinstatement fee kicks in and you start over.

Questions Barberton Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course?

Five groups of licensed Ohio adults qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want a 2-point credit applied to their record. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year period. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older reinstating due to a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not earn a 2-point credit. If you are in Summit County, confirm your specific requirement with the Barberton Municipal Court or the Summit County Clerk of Courts before enrolling.

Does finishing the course actually remove points from my Ohio driving record?

No. Only an Ohio court can order points removed from a driving record. What the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does is apply a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. That credit acts as a cushion, effectively lowering the point total the BMV counts toward a suspension threshold. A driver sitting at 9 points, for example, drops to a 7-point effective count after the credit posts. Existing violations and the points attached to them stay on the record. The credit is valid for three years, can be used once every three years, and applies a maximum of five times in a lifetime. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Barberton Deputy Registrar on Wooster Road West or directly to the Ohio BMV to get the credit posted.

What happens if I do not finish the course within 30 days of enrolling?

The state requires a full restart. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window is a hard requirement. Miss it and the BMV treats the enrollment as expired, which means paying the reinstatement fee again and starting the course from the beginning with a new enrollment date. For drivers already in a suspended status, that delay extends the time the license stays inactive. The 30-day clock starts on your enrollment date, not the date you first log in to study. Barberton drivers who are reinstating after a 12-point suspension especially cannot afford to let this window lapse. Log in consistently, use the auto-save feature to track completed sections, and plan to finish with a few days to spare.

How fast do I get the certificate after passing the final exam, and where do I send it?

You get the certificate immediately. The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF and makes it available for download. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV. Barberton residents can take it to the Barberton Deputy Registrar on Wooster Road West or to the Akron BMV office on Vernon Odom Boulevard, roughly 8 miles north on Route 21. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the court that issued the order, which for most Barberton residents means the Barberton Municipal Court or the Summit County Clerk of Courts. As of the latest ODPS guidelines, digital certificates are accepted.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, one per calendar day, per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you can try again Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get the certificate normally. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. A full reset means starting the coursework over from the beginning with a new enrollment, which also restarts your 30-day window. The final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions provided by the state, and you need a 75% to pass. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to lock in the material before you sit for the final. Rushing into the exam without reviewing the driver attitude and alcohol and drug sections is where most people run into trouble.

Is there still an in-person classroom option near Barberton, and is it worth it?

In-person classroom sessions do exist in Ohio, but finding one near Barberton in Summit County takes legwork, and the scheduling is on the provider's timeline, not yours. Most Barberton residents who need an in-person option end up driving toward Akron, roughly 8 to 10 miles north, and blocking out an entire day. The online Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, carries the same ODPS approval under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 and produces the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. The material covered, the 8-hour minimum, the mandatory breaks, and the final exam are identical. For most working adults in Barberton juggling a job and a suspended license, the online format is the practical choice. Check current ODPS guidelines to confirm your specific case qualifies.
