Abbreviated Adult Driver Training Course
If you are 21 or older and fail your first Ohio road or maneuverability test, you may be required to complete the Abbreviated Adult Driver Training Course before retesting. This requirement may not apply if you completed an approved driver training course within the 12 months before your failed test.
The program includes a 4-hour classroom course and one of the following driving options:
- 4-Hour In-Person Class + 4 Hours of Behind-the-Wheel Training with a licensed Abbreviated Adult Instructor
- 4-Hour Online Course + 4 Hours of Behind-the-Wheel Training with a licensed Abbreviated Adult Instructor
- 4-Hour In-Person Class + 24 Hours of Supervised Driving with a licensed driver age 21 or older
- 4-Hour Online Course + 24 Hours of Supervised Driving with a licensed driver age 21 or older
Online Classroom Option
Prefer to complete the classroom portion online?
We partner with DriversEd.com to provide a state-approved, self-paced online driver education course. Students who choose this option will complete the required 4 hours of classroom instruction directly through DriversEd.com.
Important: The DriversEd.com online course is a separate program offered through our education partner and requires its own registration and course fee.

Choosing the 24-Hour Supervised Driving Option
If you choose the 24-hour supervised driving option, you will complete your practice with a licensed driver age 21 or older rather than through instructor-led training.
You may not drive more than 4 hours per day, and you must complete the Twenty-Four Hour Affidavit (BMV 5789).
Before Retesting
Once you complete the required program, make sure you have your Certificate of Completion ready to present to the BMV.
If you choose the 24-hour supervised driving option, you must also complete the Twenty-Four Hour Affidavit (BMV 5789), including the required notarization.
