• Complete the online registration form on the next page, and

* On the online registration form on the next page, students must provide an email address that will not block messages, such as a .com or .net domain. School email addresses are not recommended, as most school servers block external links and unapproved emails.

If a valid number is missing at the time of course completion, certificate issuance will be delayed. Students will be reminded to verify this information before beginning the Final Exam.

*** On the Registration Page, all information entered must exactly match the Learner’s Permit, including the first, middle, and last name. Nicknames, abbreviations, or missing names are not allowed. If a certificate is issued with inaccurate or incomplete information entered by the student, a duplicate certificate fee will be required before a corrected certificate can be issued.

The Course Provider has no control over and assumes no responsibility or liability for any amounts charged by the driving school for such bundled packages. The Student and/or Parent acknowledges and agrees that any disputes regarding fees, refunds, or services provided as part of such bundled packages are solely between the Student and/or Parent and the driving school, and hereby releases and holds harmless the Course Provider from any and all claims, demands, or causes of action arising from or relating to such transactions.

COURSE TIME REQUIREMENTS & TIMERS

• The course includes 24 hours of state-mandated content, aligned with the Ohio Driver Training Curriculum.
• 24 hours is the minimum course time requirement; there is no maximum.
• All coursework, including the Final Exam, must be completed within 180 days of beginning the course.
• If the course is not completed within this timeframe, you will be required to restart the course, and a reinstatement fee of $49.50 will apply.

Five timers are built into this course:
1. Login Time – Total time you are logged into the course, regardless of work completed.
2. Course Time – Time spent actively completing the course content (reading, watching videos, or taking Quizzes/Tests). Being logged in without working does not count.
3. Consecutive Time Limit – If you are logged in for 2 consecutive hours, the system will automatically log you out. You must take a mandatory 15-minute break before logging back in.
4. Daily Time Limit – You may complete a maximum of 4 hours of training per calendar day. After 4 hours, the system will log you out, and you may resume the next day.
5. Idle Time Setting – If there is 15 minutes of inactivity, the system will log you out. Idle time does not count toward your course time.

COURSE TIME VS LOGIN TIME 
Course Time is the only time that counts toward Ohio's required 24 hours of Online Driver Education. Course Time is ACTIVE participation (completing pages, quizzes/tests, videos, etc.).
Login Time is any time you are logged in. Being logged in without completing coursework does not count toward the 24-hour requirement.

*A countdown timer on the Welcome Page displays the number of days remaining to complete the course. If the timer reaches zero, the course will be locked, and you will be required to restart from the beginning. A reinstatement fee of $49.50 will apply.

PRIVACY STATEMENT AND SECURITY

The Course Provider collects certain personal information during registration and throughout the online course. This information is used only for course administration, student identification and verification, record maintenance, course progress monitoring, and the issuance of Completion Certificates. Personal information will not be sold or used to promote unrelated products or services.

Personal information is encrypted and may be accessed only by authorized administrators or instructors when necessary to administer the course or maintain student records.

Identity Verification

In accordance with Ohio Department of Public Safety (DPS) requirements, the Course Provider may use a third-party identification system to access information from one or more public databases to verify identity.

If identity cannot be verified during registration, please contact support@costech.com. Course access will be granted once the required identity verification has been successfully completed.

Security Questions

During registration, students must select and answer three Security Questions. Students should keep a record of their selected questions and answers, as a Security Question will be presented during course logins for identity verification.

Students will have 60 seconds to answer the Security Question correctly. If the first response is incorrect, one additional Security Question will be provided. If the second response is also incorrect, the student will be locked out of the course for 24 hours. After 24 hours, the account will automatically unlock.
