Three Steps and You're Done

Enroll and Verify Your Identity

Create your account, upload a valid government-issued photo ID, and confirm you are the licensed Ohio driver completing the course. This identity check is required under current ODPS guidelines before any coursework begins. Takes about five minutes to get through enrollment.

Work Through the Course Material

The course uses text and image-based interactive lessons with a quiz after each section. You must pass each quiz to advance, with unlimited free retakes. A 10-minute break is required after every two consecutive hours of instruction, and that break time does not count toward your total hours. Your progress saves automatically after every section, so you can log out and come back without losing ground.

Pass the Final Exam and Get Your Certificate

The state-provided final exam has 40 multiple-choice questions. You need a 75% to pass, and you get two attempts, one per calendar day. Pass it, and you immediately receive your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF. The full course runs 8 hours minimum, as mandated by Ohio law. Submit the certificate to the BMV for a point credit or reinstatement, or to the court for a court-ordered case.

Your License Stays Suspended Until This Is Done

For suspension and court-ordered cases, nothing changes on your record until you finish and submit the certificate. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, one more ticket in Montgomery County traffic can push a record past 12 points and trigger a suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. On top of that, the state gives you 30 days from enrollment to complete the course. Miss that window and you pay a reinstatement fee and start completely over.

Frequently Asked Questions from Wright-Patterson AFB Drivers

Who actually has to take the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course, and what is the difference between a court order and a 2-point credit?

Five categories of Ohio drivers qualify under Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. First, drivers with 2 to 11 points on their record who want to bank a 2-point credit before the next ticket pushes them into suspension territory. Second, drivers reinstating a license suspended for reaching 12 or more points within a two-year period under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. Third, drivers ordered by a court to complete the remedial program. Fourth, drivers 19 or older with a juvenile suspension from 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. The certificate goes to the court, not the BMV point system. If you are unsure which category applies to you, the Montgomery County BMV office on Hoke Road in Dayton can pull your current record and clarify your situation 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 any violation from your record. Only an Ohio court can do that. What the credit does is apply a 2-point reduction to your current point total, creating a cushion before the next ticket could push you into a 12-point suspension under Ohio Revised Code 4510.037. The credit is valid for three years from the date the BMV processes your certificate. You can use it once every three years and a maximum of five times in your lifetime. If you are sitting at 8 or 9 points right now in Montgomery County, that cushion is the difference between keeping your license and losing it after one more stop. Submit BMV Form 5789 to the BMV after passing to apply the credit to your record.

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

The state requires completion within 30 days of your enrollment date under current ODPS guidelines tied to Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Miss that window and two things happen. You pay a reinstatement fee to reactivate the course, and you start completely over from the beginning. No completed lessons carry forward. For drivers already dealing with a suspended license, that delay extends the time your license stays inactive. For drivers banking a 2-point credit, it leaves your record unprotected longer. The 30-day window is firm. There is no grace period built into the state rules. Enroll when you are ready to work through the material consistently. The Wright-Patterson AFB Deputy Registrar on base can answer questions about your specific reinstatement timeline if you are already in suspension.

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

You get the certificate immediately. The moment you pass the final exam, the system generates your BMV Form 5789 Certificate of Completion as a digital PDF and makes it available for download. There is no waiting period, no mailing delay, and no processing queue. Where you submit it depends on why you took the course. For a 2-point credit or a 12-point suspension reinstatement, submit it to the Ohio BMV. The nearest BMV office serving Wright-Patterson AFB residents is the Montgomery County BMV on Hoke Road in Dayton, roughly 10 miles from the base. For a court-ordered completion, submit the certificate directly to the court that issued the order, which for most Wright-Patterson AFB residents is the Montgomery County Clerk of Courts. Keep a copy for your own records regardless of where you submit.

What happens if I fail the final exam?

You get two attempts at the final exam, but only one attempt per calendar day under current ODPS guidelines and Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06. Fail the first attempt on a Monday and you cannot try again until Tuesday. The exam has 40 multiple-choice questions and is provided by the state. If you fail both attempts, the course resets entirely and you start over from lesson one. No completed sections carry forward after a double failure. That reset also counts against your 30-day completion window, so a double failure late in the window can put you in a position where you cannot finish in time. The lesson quizzes throughout the course have unlimited free retakes, so use those to make sure the material is solid before you sit for the final. Treat the final like it matters, because starting over is a real cost.

Is an in-person classroom still an option near Wright-Patterson AFB, and why do most drivers here take it online instead?

In-person classroom sessions for the Ohio Adult Remedial Driving Course do still exist at approved providers in Ohio, but finding an open session near Wright-Patterson AFB in Montgomery County takes time. You are looking at fixed dates, a commute off base, and waiting for a physical or mailed certificate after the session. For active-duty personnel or civilian employees at Wright-Patterson whose schedules shift, locking into a specific classroom date adds friction. The online course through TrafficSchool.net, operated by OnlineTrafficEducation.com, is a state-approved Ohio driver training school that satisfies the same Ohio Administrative Code 4501-8-06 requirements. Progress saves automatically, there is no daily study cap, and the certificate arrives the moment you pass. Most Wright-Patterson AFB drivers who need this done within the 30-day window find the online format gets it handled faster.
