Your progress is saved as you work through the course, so you can leave and return later.

Certificate of Completion of an Online Driver Education Program
Electronic certificate processing is included — no mailed certificate is required.
This certificate documents completion of the required 24-hour online education portion of Ohio Class D driver education.
Students completing their classroom instruction through an online provider must obtain this certificate before beginning the required professional behind-the-wheel instruction with a licensed Ohio Class D driving school.
