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 coursework begins. This confirms you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the requirement, not someone else sitting in for you.

Work Through the Course Material

Read through text and image-based lessons covering driver attitude, alcohol and drug impairment, and traffic safety. A quiz follows each lesson and you must pass it to advance. State rules require a 10-minute break after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total.

Pass the Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam is 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass and have two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it and you immediately download your BMV Form 5789 certificate. The whole course runs 8 hours minimum as required by ODPS.

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 clerk's office. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket without that cushion can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The state also gives you a hard 30-day window from enrollment. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and start completely over.

Online Course

Complete the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course from Delaware County without driving to a classroom location or rearranging your work schedule around a fixed session time.

Auto-Saved Progress

Server-side saves after every section so a lost connection never costs you completed work.

In-Person Classroom

Traditional classroom sessions require a fixed date, a specific location, and a full day blocked out, which is harder to manage around a Delaware County work schedule.

Fixed Schedule Required

You attend on the provider's timetable, not yours, with no option to pause and return.

How Long Does Each Option Actually Take?

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

Method
Estimated Time to Certificate
Online Course Log in from Shawnee Hills any time of day, split hours across multiple sessions within the 30-day window, no commute required.
In-Person Classroom Drive to a classroom site, typically in Columbus or a larger Delaware County city, and block out a full consecutive day.

What Does Each Option Cost?

Price is one factor. Lost work time and fuel from Shawnee Hills to a classroom site are real costs too.

Method
Realistic Total Cost
Online at TrafficSchool.net Flat fee of $76.00 covers all lessons, quizzes, exam attempts, and your instant BMV Form 5789 certificate.
In-Person Classroom Classroom fees vary by provider and you add fuel costs plus potential lost wages for a full day away from work.

Questions Shawnee Hills Drivers Ask Before Enrolling

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

Five groups qualify under current ODPS guidelines. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their Ohio record who want a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them over the edge. Second, drivers reinstating after a 12-point suspension 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 alcohol-related OVI or OVUAC suspension. Court-ordered completions do not generate a 2-point credit. For Shawnee Hills residents, the Delaware County Clerk of Courts handles court-ordered filings. Confirm which category applies to you before enrolling so you submit the certificate to the right place.

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

No. Only an Ohio court can remove points from your record. What the course does is apply a 2-point credit under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037, which acts as a cushion against future accumulation. If you have 8 points and earn the credit, your effective exposure to a 12-point suspension drops by 2 points going forward. The underlying violations and their original point values stay on your record. The credit is valid for three years, you can only use it once every three years, and the lifetime maximum is five times. For Shawnee Hills drivers, submit BMV Form 5789 to the Ohio BMV office in Westerville, roughly 15 miles south on Rt. 3, to have the credit applied to your record.

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

The state requires a full restart. Per Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, the 30-day completion window runs from your enrollment date. Miss it and you pay a reinstatement fee and begin the course again from the first lesson. None of your previous progress carries over. For drivers on a court-ordered timeline or working toward a suspension reinstatement, a missed window also means your license stays suspended longer. The Delaware County BMV Deputy Registrar in Powell, about 10 miles from Shawnee Hills, cannot process your reinstatement without a valid, timely certificate. Log in consistently across the 30 days rather than trying to cram everything into the final week.

How fast do I get my certificate after passing the final exam?

You get BMV Form 5789 as a digital PDF the moment you pass. There is no waiting period, no manual review queue, and no mailing delay. Download it immediately and submit it the same day. For a 2-point credit, take it to the Ohio BMV. The nearest full-service BMV office serving Shawnee Hills residents is in Westerville, approximately 15 miles south. For a court-ordered case, file it with the Delaware County Clerk of Courts at 91 N. Sandusky St. in Delaware, Ohio. Confirm the exact submission method your court specified in the order, because some courts want a physical copy and others accept electronic filing. Either way, the certificate is in your hands within minutes of passing.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts total, one per calendar day, as required under current ODPS guidelines for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course. Fail the first attempt and you can try again the following calendar day. Fail the second attempt and the course resets entirely. You start over from lesson one, and the 30-day window restarts from that point. The final exam is 40 state-provided multiple-choice questions and you need a 75% to pass. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to actually learn the material before you hit the final. Shawnee Hills drivers who let the 30-day window run short before attempting the exam risk running out of time for a second try if the first one fails.

Is an in-person classroom still an option for Shawnee Hills residents, and how does it compare?

In-person classroom sessions do still exist in Ohio under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06, but finding one near Shawnee Hills takes work. Shawnee Hills sits in Delaware County, and classroom sessions typically run in Columbus or larger suburban locations, meaning a real commute on top of a full blocked day. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, covers the identical state-mandated curriculum: at least 25 percent on driver attitude and at least 25 percent on alcohol, drugs, and vehicle operation. The 10-minute break requirement after every two consecutive hours applies to both formats. For most Delaware County drivers, the online format fits around work and family without sacrificing anything the state requires. The certificate you get at the end is the same BMV Form 5789 either way.
