Tri-County Driver Education offers driver training to students under the age of 21 and to adults (as our schedule allows) through licensing with the Ohio Dept. of Public Safety, Driver Training Office. We service Tri-County students in Nelsonville, along with Trimble Local High School students, and Federal Hocking Local High School students at their high school locations, as well as all surrounding community members for driving instruction.  

We use an online 3rd party provider, 2Cool Driving School for the 24-hour driving course, and once completed successfully, then the 8-hour behind-the-wheel can be completed at one of our three locations, depending on your student's home high school. Some of these schools have funding in place to offer driver education requirements for a $50 family commitment fee. Please check your school for more details.  We also have online courses available for Adults in need of specific training, such as Abbreviated Adult, Adult Remedial, and Limited Term License. 

Throughout this process that begins at age 15^1/2 with the temporary driving permit, please remember to drive with your family (50-hour family drive time is required by the State, 40 during the day, 10 at night) in many varying locations giving new drivers the best experience in a multitude of situations. Our trainees need to have half or more, minimum 25 hours of their supervised (family) drive time completed and documented before we schedule your student in the car with our licensed driving instructors. If you have questions, please contact us either by phone or email below.
