Who Needs Ohio Driver Education?
Drivers under 21 generally must complete approved training. Beginning-driver training consists of 24 hours of classroom or approved online theory followed by eight hours of professional behind-the-wheel instruction. Drivers under 21 also need 50 supervised hours, including 10 at night.
Minors generally must hold their TIPIC for six months. Ages 18 through 20 are subject to the Class D training requirements but not the same minor six-month rule.
Qualifying 21+ applicants after a first failed driving or maneuverability test may need Abbreviated Adult Driver Training, while Limited Term applicants have their own statutory requirements.
Online Course and TIPIC Process
Ohio's current online rules require student authentication and a 50-question final examination with a 75% passing score. The online completion certificate must be issued within five business days after successful completion.
The separate BMV knowledge test contains 40 questions and also requires 75% correct. Applicants can use Ohio's online knowledge-test option when eligible.
