Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires identity verification before you start. Takes a few minutes and you are into the first lesson the same day you sign up.

Work Through the Course Material

Text and image-based lessons cover driver attitude, alcohol and drug content, and Ohio traffic law. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. The state mandates a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Final and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided 40-question final exam requires a 75% to pass. You have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you instantly receive your BMV Form 5789 certificate. The full course runs 8 hours minimum per state requirements, so plan your 30-day window accordingly.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes on your record until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Stark County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket before you finish can push your total past 12 and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you 30 days from enrollment to complete the course - miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start over from scratch.

Get Started

Built Around Current Ohio BMV Requirements

As of the latest ODPS guidelines, the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course curriculum must dedicate at least 25 percent to driver attitude and at least 25 percent to alcohol, drugs, and vehicle operation. TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, meets every one of those mandates as a state-approved Ohio driver training school.

Fixed Class Schedule

You attend on the provider's timetable, not yours, which can conflict with work shifts.

Travel Required

Hartville residents typically drive to Canton-area locations, adding time and fuel cost.

Physical certificates may take additional days before you can submit to the BMV or court.

What Does Each Option Cost?

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online via TrafficSchool.net $76.00 covers full course access, all quizzes, the state final exam, and your instant BMV Form 5789 certificate.
In-Person Classroom Classroom fees vary by provider and do not include fuel, parking near Canton-area sites, or potential lost wages for daytime sessions.

Finish the Course From Any Device

The course runs on phones, tablets, and laptops without any app download. Stark County has spotty coverage in a few rural stretches east of Hartville on Route 619, so the auto-save feature matters - every completed section locks in server-side the moment you finish it.

  • Any Device

    Phone, tablet, or laptop all work. No special software or plugin required to access the course lessons.

  • Auto-Saved

    Progress saves server-side after each section so a dropped connection never costs you completed work.

  • 30-Day Reminders

    The system tracks your enrollment date so you stay aware of the state-mandated completion deadline before it expires.

Questions Hartville Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the limit. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for hitting 12 or more points in a two-year period. Third, drivers with a court order requiring 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 generate a 2-point credit. Hartville residents can confirm their specific situation with the Stark County Clerk of Courts before enrolling.

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

No. The Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course applies a 2-point credit to your record under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 - it does not erase existing points or violations. Think of it as a cushion. Your current points stay on the record; the credit offsets two of them. Only an Ohio court can order points removed from a driving 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. For Hartville drivers sitting at 8 or 9 points, that two-point buffer can be the difference between keeping your license and triggering a suspension on the next ticket. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the Stark County BMV office to activate the credit.

What happens if I do not finish within the 30-day window?

The state requires a full restart. Under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window begins on your enrollment date. Miss it and you owe a reinstatement fee and must complete the entire course again from lesson one. Your previous progress does not carry over. For drivers on a court order, an expired enrollment can also create a compliance problem with the Stark County court that issued the order. The practical move is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and log consistent sessions rather than leaving everything to the final week. The auto-save feature means you can split the hours across multiple days without losing progress.

How fast do I get my certificate, and where do I send it?

You receive BMV Form 5789 as an instant digital PDF the moment you pass the final exam. There is no waiting period. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate to the Ohio BMV - Hartville residents typically use the Hartville Deputy Registrar on Market Avenue or the Stark County BMV office in Canton, roughly 12 miles west on Route 62. For a court-ordered case, submit directly to the Stark County Clerk of Courts at 110 Central Plaza South in Canton. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 governs what the certificate must contain, and BMV Form 5789 meets every requirement. Print it or send the PDF - both formats are accepted.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, one per calendar day, per current Ohio BMV requirements. Fail the first attempt and you can retake it the following calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets completely - you start over from lesson one and the 30-day window restarts. The final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions provided by the state, and you need 75% to pass. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to lock in the material before you sit the final. Drivers who work through the alcohol and drug section and the driver attitude content carefully tend to perform better on the exam. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets the exam structure.

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

In-person classroom sessions do exist in Ohio under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, but finding one near Hartville means driving to Canton or further into Stark County, working around a fixed schedule, and waiting for an available session date. When my points were stacking up and I needed this done fast, the online course made more sense. The curriculum is identical - at least 25 percent driver attitude content and at least 25 percent alcohol and drug material either way. The online version through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, saves the commute and delivers the same BMV Form 5789 certificate. For most Hartville drivers with a 30-day window to hit, the online format is the practical call.
