Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, pay, and upload a valid government-issued photo ID. Ohio requires identity verification before you begin. The whole process takes a few minutes and your progress saves automatically after each section so you can log back in whenever your schedule allows.

Work Through the Course

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

Pass the Exam 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 download BMV Form 5789 instantly. The course runs a minimum of 8 hours as required by Ohio law.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For Manchester 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 on US-52 or State Route 41 could push the record past 12 and trigger a suspension before the credit is in place. Ohio also gives you exactly 30 days from enrollment to finish. Miss that window and the state requires a full restart with a new fee.

Online Course

Complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course from Manchester without scheduling around a classroom in another county or taking a day off work.

Progress Auto-Saved

Server-side saving means you pick up exactly where you stopped, every single session.

In-Person Classroom

Classroom sessions require travel, typically to Chillicothe or another city, and fixed scheduling that does not bend around your work or family obligations.

Fixed Location Required

You drive to a scheduled site, often 40 or more miles from Manchester.

How Long Does Each Option Actually Take?

Both options meet the same 8-hour state requirement. The difference is when and where you put in those hours.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Log in from Manchester any time of day, split the hours across multiple sessions within your 30-day window, no commute required.
In-Person Drive roughly 45 minutes each way to Chillicothe, sit through a fixed all-day or multi-evening schedule with no flexibility on timing.

What Does Each Option Cost You?

The course fee is only part of the picture when you factor in travel from Adams County.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online Pay $76.00 total. No gas, no mileage to Chillicothe, no lost wages from taking a full weekday off work.
In-Person Course fee plus roughly 90 miles of round-trip driving from Manchester, plus potential lost wages for a scheduled weekday session.

Works on Any Device You Have

The course runs in any modern browser on a phone, tablet, or laptop. No app download required. Manchester has spotty rural coverage in parts of Adams County, so the text-and-image format loads reliably even on slower connections compared to video-streaming courses.

    Phone, tablet, or desktop browser all work. No special software or app installation needed to access your course.

  • Auto-Saved Progress

    Every completed section saves to the server automatically. Close the browser and your place holds until you return.

  • 30-Day Reminders

    The system tracks your enrollment date so you stay aware of the state-mandated 30-day completion window before a restart is required.

Questions Manchester Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

Who actually has to take this course, and what is the difference between a court order and taking it for a 2-point credit?

Ohio recognizes five situations under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037 and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension must complete the course before the BMV restores the license. Drivers under 21 reinstating after an alcohol-related suspension face the same requirement. Drivers 19 or older dealing with a juvenile suspension from before age 18 also qualify. A court can order the course as a condition of a traffic case. Finally, any licensed Ohio driver with 2 to 11 points can take it voluntarily for a 2-point credit. Court-ordered completions do not earn a point credit. For Manchester residents, the Adams County Clerk of Courts handles court-ordered cases locally.

What does the 2-point credit actually do? Does it remove points from my record?

The 2-point credit does not remove existing points or erase any violation from your Ohio driving record. Only an Ohio court can remove points. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion against hitting the 12-point suspension threshold under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit stays on your record for three years, and you can use it once every three years, up to five times in a lifetime. For a Manchester driver sitting at 9 or 10 points, banking that credit before a ticket on State Route 41 pushes the total over 12 is the practical reason to enroll now rather than wait.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 sets a hard 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 Manchester drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that means more time off the road and another out-of-pocket cost on top of the original enrollment fee. The practical move is to start the course within a day or two of enrolling and log consistent sessions rather than leaving it all to the final week. The 30-day clock does not pause.

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

Pass the 40-question final exam and the system generates your BMV Form 5789 certificate as a digital PDF immediately. You do not wait for anything to be mailed. For a 2-point credit, submit the certificate directly to the Ohio BMV. Manchester residents can use the Manchester Deputy Registrar, located at 467 E. 2nd Street in Manchester, or mail it to the BMV in Columbus. For a court-ordered case, submit the certificate to the Adams County Clerk of Courts. Current Ohio BMV requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 specify that the certificate must reach the appropriate office to close out the requirement. Same-day submission is possible the day you pass.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 allows two attempts, but only one attempt per calendar day. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion window resets from that point. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to lock in the material before you sit the final. Rushing through the lessons to get to the exam faster is the most common reason people end up in a reset situation.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Manchester residents, and is online more practical?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do still exist in Ohio, but none operate in Manchester or Adams County as of the latest ODPS guidelines. The nearest options typically require driving to Chillicothe or another city, which is roughly 45 minutes each way from Manchester. That means a full day commitment, fixed scheduling, and fuel costs on top of the course fee. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, meets the same Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements, issues the same BMV Form 5789 certificate, and lets you complete the required hours from home without coordinating around a classroom schedule in another county.
