Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you meet Ohio eligibility requirements. The identity verification step is required by the Ohio Department of Public Safety before any coursework begins. Newark residents use the same enrollment process regardless of which of the five state-recognized reasons applies to their case.

Work Through the Course Lessons

The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. Your progress saves automatically on the server after every section, so you can log out and pick up exactly where you left off. 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 you get two attempts total, one per calendar day. Pass, and you immediately download BMV Form 5789. The course requires a minimum of 8 hours of instruction before the exam unlocks, per state mandate.

Your License Stays in Limbo Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing moves until the certificate lands at the BMV or the Licking County Clerk of Courts. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket on US-40 or 21st Street can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension before the credit is in place. Ohio also requires you to finish within 30 days of enrolling, or the state mandates a reinstatement fee and a full restart from the beginning.

In-Person Classroom Option

Classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course are limited in Licking County and typically require advance scheduling and a fixed multi-day commitment.

Fixed Schedule Required

You attend on the provider's timetable, not yours, often across multiple evenings or a full weekend.

How Long Does This Actually Take?

The state sets an 8-hour minimum. Here is how the two formats compare for a Newark driver.

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Work through the 8-hour minimum across multiple sessions within the 30-day window, logging in and out as your schedule allows with no daily hour cap imposed by the state.
In-Person Classroom Typically scheduled as a single long day or split across two evenings, requiring you to block out time and travel to a fixed Licking County or Columbus-area location in advance.

What Does the Course Cost in Newark?

Online pricing through TrafficSchool.net versus the typical cost of an in-person session in central Ohio.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online via TrafficSchool.net $76.00 flat, which includes all lessons, quizzes, the state-provided final exam, and your instant BMV Form 5789 certificate with no add-on fees.
In-Person Classroom In-person providers in the Columbus and Licking County area typically charge more than the online rate, and that figure does not include fuel or parking costs.

Progress saves server-side after every section, so switching devices mid-course does not cost you any completed work.

Questions Newark Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups of Ohio drivers 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 reaching 12 or more points within 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. Newark drivers in any of these situations can enroll through TrafficSchool.net today.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your driving record. What the course does, under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, is apply a 2-point credit that acts as a cushion against your current point total. If you are sitting at 8 points and you earn the credit, the BMV treats your record as if it reflects 6 points for suspension threshold purposes. The underlying violations and their original point values 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 Newark Deputy Registrar or the Licking County BMV office to activate the credit.

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

Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requires completion within 30 days of enrollment. Miss that window and the state requires you to pay a reinstatement fee and start the entire course over from the beginning. None of your previous progress carries forward. For drivers with a suspension already open, the license stays suspended during any restart period, which means more time off the road. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, a restart also means more time exposed to a potential 12-point suspension if another ticket hits during the gap. Enroll only when you have a realistic 30-day stretch to finish. Newark drivers working around a shift schedule at one of the local plants have used the no-daily-cap format to finish in under two weeks.

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

Pass the final exam and BMV Form 5789 generates as an instant digital PDF. You can download and submit it the same day. For a 2-point credit, take or mail the certificate to the Newark Deputy Registrar located on West Main Street or to the Licking County BMV office. For a court-ordered case, submit it directly to the Licking County Clerk of Courts, located at 75 East Main Street in Newark, roughly a five-minute drive from most of the city. Confirm with your attorney or the court clerk which submission method they require before you drop it off. Current Ohio BMV requirements do not impose a waiting period between passing the exam and activating the credit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You get two attempts total, and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 limits you to one attempt per calendar day, so the second try cannot happen until the following day. Fail both attempts and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day completion clock restarts from the new enrollment date. The lesson quizzes that come before the final have unlimited free retakes and do not count against you, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit the final. The driver attitude section and the alcohol and drug content make up at least half the exam questions, so pay attention to those two modules specifically.

What does the course actually cover during those 8 hours?

Per Ohio Department of Public Safety curriculum requirements under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, at least 25 percent of the course covers driver attitude, and at least 25 percent covers alcohol, drugs, and the operation of motor vehicles. The remaining content covers traffic law, crash prevention, and risk awareness. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward the 8-hour minimum. The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with quizzes between sections. There is no live video streaming. The driver attitude material was the section that stuck with me the most, specifically the content on how frustration behind the wheel on roads like Route 16 escalates into decisions that stack up points fast.
