Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account at TrafficSchool.net and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you begin. The whole setup takes a few minutes, and your progress saves automatically server-side after every section so nothing gets lost if you close the browser.

Work Through the Course Material

The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course covers driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, traffic law, and crash prevention through text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours. Log in and out as your schedule allows within the 30-day window.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass, and you immediately download your BMV Form 5789 PDF. The course runs 8 hours minimum as required by Ohio law, with no cap on total study time.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension or an under-21 alcohol offense, the clock is already running. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension before the credit is in place. Ohio also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Starting this week means the certificate reaches the Cuyahoga County BMV or the court before the window closes and the requirement resets.

Questions Berea Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under current Ohio BMV requirements. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them toward a suspension. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points within two years under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers with a court order requiring the remedial program. Fourth, drivers age 19 or older clearing a juvenile suspension that happened before age 18. Fifth, drivers under 21 reinstating after an OVI or OVUAC alcohol-related suspension. Court-ordered students do not receive the 2-point credit. If you are in Cuyahoga County and unsure which category applies, the Berea Deputy Registrar on Bagley Road can confirm your record status before you enroll.

What does the 2-point credit actually do for my Ohio driving record?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase violations from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point buffer that reduces your active point total by two for suspension calculation purposes. That cushion can be the difference between staying licensed and hitting the 12-point threshold that triggers a suspension. The credit stays valid for three years, you can use it once every three years, and Ohio caps lifetime use at five times total. After you pass the final exam through TrafficSchool.net, download your BMV Form 5789 and submit it to the nearest Cuyahoga County BMV location to get the credit applied to your record.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a firm 30-day completion window from the date you enroll. Miss that deadline and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. Your previous progress does not carry forward. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it means more exposure to a suspension-triggering ticket. The practical move is to start the first session within a day or two of enrolling and log consistent time each week. The Berea Deputy Registrar on Bagley Road can confirm whether your record shows any additional reinstatement requirements before you restart if the window does expire.

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

The moment you pass the final exam, TrafficSchool.net generates your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a downloadable PDF. There is no waiting period and no mailing delay. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to an Ohio BMV location. The closest full-service BMV to Berea is the Parma BMV Deputy Registrar, roughly four miles south on Broadview Road from the center of Berea. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate directly to the Cuyahoga County Clerk of Courts or the specific court that issued your order. Under current Ohio BMV requirements, the certificate must reach the correct office before your reinstatement or credit application can be processed. Keep a digital copy for your own records.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, you get two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Pass on the second attempt and you get your certificate normally. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start back at lesson one, the 30-day completion window restarts, and you go through all the material again before another final exam becomes available. The lesson quizzes between sections have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Rushing the final after skimming the lessons is the main reason people end up restarting.

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

Completing the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course does not remove points or wipe violations from your record. That distinction matters. Under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, only a court order can remove points from an Ohio driving record. What the course provides, for eligible drivers with 2 to 11 points, is a 2-point credit that reduces the active point total used to calculate suspension eligibility. Existing violations stay on the record. The credit simply lowers the number the BMV counts toward the 12-point suspension threshold. For drivers completing the course under a court order or for reinstatement after a 12-point suspension, the certificate satisfies the program requirement but does not alter the underlying record. Submit your BMV Form 5789 to the Cuyahoga County BMV or your court as soon as you pass.
