8 hours of professional behind-the-wheel instruction
50 hours of supervised driving
At least 10 nighttime hours within those 50 hours
At least six months of TIPIC holding time

Ohio recognizes approved online driver education as the classroom-equivalent component of the beginning-driver requirement. The program represents 24 hours of instruction.
