Successful completion includes the student completing every module and passing the final examination of the online abbreviated adult course.(2) Except for online enterprises, an abbreviated adult course enterprise shall issue a "Certificate of Completion" or a "Certificate of Classroom Completion" to a student who is at least eighteen years of age and who has successfully completed the abbreviated adult course required by division (F) of section 4508.02 of the Revised Code.(a) A "Certificate of Completion" is issued to students who have completed both the classroom and behind-the-wheel training with the abbreviated adult course enterprise.(b) "Certificate of Classroom Completion" is issued to students who have completed only the classroom portion of the abbreviated adult training course with an abbreviated adult course enterprise.

The student shall first complete and sign the "Request for Duplicate Certificate."

No driver training school may charge a fee for a replacement certificate that exceeds fifteen dollars.(D) An authorizing official or adult training coordinator of the school who issues the certificate shall sign each certificate. If an authorizing official or adult training coordinator permits the use of a stamped or electronically produced signature, that official, or coordinator is responsible for securing the stamp or electronic means. That official or coordinator is responsible for any document on which that official's or coordinator's signature is produced.(E) All unused certificates will be made inaccessible by the director when a driver training enterprise closes for any reason, including a license suspension or revocation.Ohio Admin.
