Requirements, cost & FAQ
Ohio driver’s ed, answered.
Getting a license takes a state-approved course, behind-the-wheel training, and a learner-permit period. Here is what applies in Columbus, what it costs, and how to start, so you can enroll online without a phone call.
Requirements at a glance
Teen driver's ed in Ohio
- Enroll in driver education at 15 years, 5 months.
- Complete 24 hours of classroom or approved online instruction and 8 hours behind the wheel.
- Get a temporary instruction permit at 15½ and hold it at least six months.
- Log 50 hours of practice (10 at night).

Adult driver's ed in Ohio
- Adults 18–20 complete the same full driver training course as teens, without the six-month permit hold.
- Adults 21 and older don't need a course to start.
- If you're 21 or older, fail the road test, and haven't completed a driver training course in the past 12 months, you complete a four-hour abbreviated adult course before your next attempt.
- The abbreviated course is available as four hours online, four hours in a classroom or virtual classroom, or four classroom hours plus four hours behind the wheel.
