What Students Say
What Our Students Say
Questions
Everything parents ask
Class length, missed sessions, drive-time booking and the refund policy — the short answers are here.
Yes! We are licensed to teach in both Vermont and New Hampshire.
NH Students must be 15 years and 9 months at the start of class. The State is very strict on this age requirement. VT Students should be 15 and 6 months at the start of class.
Vermont students can obtain their permit at the age of 15. It is recommended that they be at least 15 and 6 months before taking driver education but not required.
We recommend downloading the free Road Ready app on the students phone. They can simply hit start/stop and the app will add the time. NH students can print the log from the app to attach to the DMV form.
Both NH and VT teen drivers are required to have 40 hours of at home drive hours. Of those hours, 10 need to be at night.
