Basic RiderCourse (BRC) – Web Enhanced

Beginning Riders

This course is designed for someone who has little or no experience operating a motorcycle, and it focuses on the development of basic riding skills: clutch and throttle coordination, straight-line riding, braking, turning, and shifting. Training motorcycles are provided. Privately owned motorcycles are NOT permitted.

The course also provides a fast track to motorcycle endorsement (CY); successful completion results in a certificate that waives the written knowledge test and riding-skill test, which would otherwise be administered by the Secretary of State and a third-party testing agency, respectively.

Instruction consists of approximately 17 total hours – 5 hours of online preparation to be completed prior to your class start date and 12 hours of hands-on training, activities, evaluation, and testing.

Standard Weekend students need to be available, but not necessarily on-site, for all of Saturday and Sunday. Students are placed into groups during classroom instruction on Friday; those in Group A will ride in the morning, and those in Group B will ride in the afternoon. While we do our best to accommodate student schedules, we cannot guarantee placement into either specified group. Please reserve any requests for your instructor on Friday.
