Not so fast....
This is strictly FYI and is not professional advice by any stretch of the imagination....
You may want to call the Courthouse in County that holds jurisdiction and ask whether the online program is acceptable before you sign up. They are the ones who have the final say and if you get involved with this online program before getting court approval and think you have complied with the requirements, you may find yourself in deeper hot water. AND...whatever you do, make sure if you don't get approval in writing, that you at least get the person's name and title, just to be on the safe side. On a similar thread from the state of PA the poster took our advice and called the courthouse and was told that they ONLY accept online in EXTREME situations such as physical disability and/or out of state residency, etc. I realize this is not the answer you were hoping for ....it's all I got! Hope this helps!
P.S. I found this info for your STATE
Maryland Driver’s Handbook:
"Alcohol Education Program
All persons referred to the alcohol education
program must have an alcohol assessment to
determine if they are alcohol abusers or dependent
users. Depending on the blood alcohol concentration
(BAC), all types of users on some occasion may become
impaired drivers on the highway. Program attendees are required to
attend a minimum of 12 hours of alcohol education with a provider
approved by the Alcohol and Drug Administration. Attendees must
attend the entire course and successfully complete the program’s
requirements in order to attain credit for completion."
