Driver’s Education

 

COVID-19 UPDATE: 

If you are currently enrolled in Session IV, you have received a call noting that  driver education classes are not being held at Keene High School through April 3rd, nor is behind-the-wheel instruction currently taking place.  We are waiting to hear from the State of NH if remote instruction will be allowed for the classroom portion of driver education and will communicate as we know more.
If you are signed up for Session V, it is possible that dates for that session will need change.  We will communicate as we know more.
Keene Community Education had previously planned to announce the dates for Summer Driver Education classes on May 1st, and to have applications available at that time.  Given these highly unusual circumstances we cannot be certain of dates/summer classes, but again will communicate when more is known.

    . TSR needs you to work with us to help emphasize the skills and attitudes necessary to become a safe driver. 

Refund Policy

  • Refund if a request is made 24 hours before the first class (less a $25 cancellation fee). 
  • NO refunds will be issued after the first class session. 

Absences

  • In compliance with the State of NH requirements, no classroom instruction shall be missed during any course, except for good cause as determined by the instructor, including a death in the family, illness, or injury.
  • A note from parent explaining the absence is required. Absences due to good cause shall not exceed two classes (4 hours). After four hours, any additional absences will result in an “incomplete” and the student will not be able to continue in that section of driver education.
  • A $100.00 fee will be charged for registration in another session. The session attended must be within 6 months from the date of the last class attended. After six months the student will have to pay the full fee for the course.

  • There is no refund if a student receives an “incomplete” and chooses not to complete training through KCEd/TSR Driver Training.

Driver Education sessions last for approximately eight weeks, please make driver education a priority during this period of time!
