How we compare
Our gamified approach means students actually learn and retain the material.* Applies to HelloDrive students who complete the course and take the final exam.
Students actually finish — without adding work for your team
HelloDrive turns Ohio's required driver ed into something students want to come back to. Share a link or hand out codes, and we'll handle the online-course experience — including customer service and a copy of every certificate sent straight to your team.
We offer flexible partnership options for schools of all sizes — from a single instructor to multi-location operations. If you'd like to learn more about how the program works and the partner benefits available to your school, and a real human will get back to you.
Higher completion rates
Bite-sized lessons, XP, and streaks keep students moving from lesson one to certificate — instead of stalling out the way they do in traditional 24-hour online courses.
Priority partner support
You and your students get a team that cares. We handle online-course questions, account help, and technical support so they are never left on their own.

Partner Program FAQ
How does the HelloDrive driving school partner program work?
HelloDrive provides and supports the approved online classroom course while the licensed driving school provides behind-the-wheel instruction. Schools can use coupon codes, an affiliate link, or a DES-compatible code workflow, and HelloDrive handles the curriculum, student customer service, progress tracking, and certificates.
What is the difference between Promo Codes, Affiliate Links, and the DES-compatible option?
Coupon codes are best for schools selling a combined package with the online course and behind-the-wheel instruction. An affiliate link is best for adding a button to a website or sharing a link directly, even without a website. The DES-compatible option exports codes for a school's Drivers Ed Solutions workflow; it is not a live two-way software sync.
What are the payouts and course economics for partners?
We offer competitive margins designed to help driving schools grow their revenue without adding operational overhead. Because pricing and structures vary depending on your school's volume and chosen integration path (wholesale codes vs. affiliate), please contact our partner team for a custom economic breakdown.
Does HelloDrive provide behind-the-wheel training?
No. HelloDrive provides approved online classroom courses, not in-car instruction. For teen students who need Ohio's behind-the-wheel requirement, families complete that portion with a licensed Ohio driving school.
Is the HelloDrive partner course approved by the Ohio BMV?
Yes. Our 24-hour online driver education course is fully approved by the Ohio BMV (Approval #4362-3034) in compliance with Ohio Administrative Code 4501-7-09 and Ohio Revised Code 4508.02. All student certificates are officially recognized by the state.
Who can apply, and how long does partner approval take?
Licensed Ohio driving schools, school operators, and qualified driver-training organizations can apply. Most complete applications receive an initial review within one business day, and there is no software implementation project—approved partners can begin sharing links or codes right away.
Can our school see student progress and completion records?
Yes. Every approved school receives a secure partner portal for its attributed students, including lesson progress, recorded course time, completion status, and certificate information. Certificates are sent to the student and can also be copied automatically to the school's chosen recipients.
Do we need to install or maintain any software?
No. Coupon-code and affiliate partners have no software to install or maintain and manage their students through a secure web portal. The DES-compatible option uses a simple exported-code workflow rather than a live software integration.
Who handles student questions and technical support?
HelloDrive handles customer service for the online course, including access questions, password help, technical issues, and course support. Partners also receive priority help from the HelloDrive team, so the school can stay focused on students and behind-the-wheel instruction.
What does HelloDrive provide to help us tell students?
Coupon-code partners receive ready-to-send student email copy explaining how to redeem a code and begin the course. Schools can use the messages as written or customize them for their own bundled package and behind-the-wheel process.
