Why does the license matter? A licensed school has met Ohio's rules for instructors, cars and course content. Training from an unlicensed business may not count toward a license, and an insurer may not accept its certificate for a discount.
In Ohio, driving schools are licensed through the Ohio Traffic Safety Office.
- Search Ohio’s official driving school list or lookup for the school’s name.
- Match the name, address and any license number with what the school gives you.
- Ask the school for its license number. A licensed school will tell you right away.
- Under 21: 24 hours of classroom, virtual or online instruction plus 8 hours behind the wheel, with a state-format Certificate of Completion. (source)
- Beginning drivers 21 and older: a 4-hour abbreviated course, paired with either 24 hours of supervised driving or 4 hours behind the wheel. (source)
Rules change, so confirm the details with the Ohio Traffic Safety Office before you enroll.
