Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the whole process take?
Ohio gives you 180 days to finish. Most students finish classroom in 2–4 weeks and BTW in 3–6 weeks. Under-18s must hold their permit for 6 months before the road test.
Can I take the classroom portion online?
Yes. Ohio approves several online providers, and their certificates satisfy the 24-hour requirement the same as in-person.
Do I need my permit before starting behind-the-wheel?
Yes. You must have your TIPIC before we can put you in the driver's seat. You can start classroom without it.
I already took classroom elsewhere. Can I just do the 8 hours with you?
Absolutely. Our BTW-only option lets you complete the requirement with us even if you did classroom elsewhere.
What if I need to reschedule a lesson?
Reschedules are free with at least 24 hours' notice. Inside 24 hours, a fee applies. Weather cancellations initiated by us are always free to reschedule.
