Program and Course Information

Motorcycle Rider Training Program courses can be physically demanding.  Students should be in good health and must be able to ride a bicycle. The ridercoach will make the final determination if the student will be allowed to participate in the riding portion of the course.

If, in the ridercoach's opinion, a student is unable to meet the minimum physical requirements, you will be asked to discontinue the riding portion of the course, with no refund given. You may remain in the class as an observer, but will not be certified for completion.

AGE RESTRICTIONS

To be eligible to enroll, a student must be at least 16 years of age. Those under 18 will require written parental permission and a parent must attend the first class meeting.

CERTIFICATION

All course requirements must be met to receive a certificate of completion. Students are required to be on time for all course sessions, both classroom and range instruction. Due to Accreditation standards, no one will be permitted entry into the course once it begins and the first classroom video or range exercise has started. This also applies to those courses with multiple course days. Failure to meet these requirements will result in unsuccessful completion of the course with no refund given.

COST

All course costs must be paid in full at time of registration. 

Please note the changes in cost beginning with the Fall semester.
