The Path
How it works
From the first phone call to the day the licence arrives, every student follows the same clear path.
-
Choose your location
Pick the class nearest you - Hanover, Claremont, Sunapee, Canaan, Newport or Vermont - and register online.

A non-refundable $100 deposit holds your student's seat. The balance is due at Parent Night.

30 hours of classroom time over roughly five to six weeks, on a weekday or weekend schedule.
-
Behind the wheel
A minimum of 10 hours driving with an instructor plus 6 hours of in-car observation, booked online by you.
-
Practise with a parent
The State requires a further 40 logged hours with a parent, 10 of them at night.
-
Licensed
Complete the course, pass the test, and take the road on your own terms.
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.
