N.M. Admin. Code § 18.20.8.11 - CLASSROOM COURSE REQUIREMENTS
A licensee shall:
A.
engage as driving safety instructors only those persons who have been certified
by the Bureau. A licensee may not serve as an instructor unless the licensee
has been certified by the Bureau as an instructor.
B. enroll no more than forty (40) students or
the maximum occupancy allowed by the fire code, whichever is less, in a driving
safety course.
C. not charge a
student more than $150.00, including tax, for enrolling in a driving safety
course.
D. display the license
issued by the Bureau in an appropriate and visible location.
E. display the placard issued by the Fire
Marshal stating the maximum occupancy of each classroom in an appropriate and
visible location in the classroom.
F. use classroom facilities that:
(1) have adequate space, lighting, heating,
and ventilation;
(2) have seats and
stable writing surfaces for each student in the class;
(3) have a whiteboard, blackboard, or
flipchart;
(4) have a monitor of
sufficient size for all students to see, if videos are used; and
(5) comply with all federal, state, and local
laws relating to persons with disabilities, public health, safety, and
sanitation, including restroom facilities.
G. ensure that the learning environment is
conducive to learning and free from discrimination, intimidation, harassment,
or any other disturbing influence. No person shall engage in, or be permitted
to engage in, conduct that is offensive to the ordinary dignity, decency, and
morality of others.
H. use only the
curriculum, handouts, videos, and final examination questions approved by the
Bureau.
I. accommodate the special
needs of hearing impaired students. Whenever a driving safety school becomes
aware that an enrollee is hearing impaired, the school shall inform the hearing
impaired student in writing that if a friend or family member of the enrollee
cannot perform sign language interpretation for the student, the school will
contact the Bureau to arrange for sign language interpretation. The driving
safety school shall contact the Bureau at least twenty (20) days before the
scheduled date of the driving safety course.
J. accommodate the special needs of
non-English speaking students. Whenever a driving safety school becomes aware
that an enrollee does not speak English, the school will make reasonable
efforts to provide interpreter services. The driving safety school shall first
inquire if a friend or family member of the enrollee can interpret for the
student. If that is not possible, the driving safety school will make
reasonable efforts to find a driving safety instructor or other person to
interpret for the student during the driving safety course.
K. provide at least six (6) course hours of
instruction for each driving safety course.
L. have a proctored final exam with a minimum
of twenty (20) questions. A student must correctly answer at least seventy
percent (70%) of the questions to pass the final exam.
M. use completion certificates purchased from
the Bureau at a cost of $1.00 per certificate.
N. not permit a student to attend any driving
safety classes until the student has received written information stating all
fees, including incidental costs, charged for the course, school policies for
passing and failing, refund and reschedule policies, and attendance
requirements.
