Courses run every couple of months: Jan/Feb, March/April, May/June and then summer courses. 
First class is in person at the Lincoln Library and all other academic work is online via Zoom class. Sign ups for driving are through Google Calendar and a spreadsheet.
I will provide the road exam whenever the student is eligible by DMV rules; one year after permit issuance, 40 hours of driving with a parent and successful completion of the class. 
I also provide road exams for anyone eligible. I have a course in Bristol and generally test after school and Saturday mornings. Usually, I can provide the exam within a week of eligibility. I can also retest those who failed their first and second attempts. I have other courses in Montpelier and Randolph as well.
