BASIC RIDER COURSE (BRC1)
for Beginner or Intermediate Riders
Never ridden before? Or, have experience but want to learn how to ride the right way?
The MSF Basic RiderCourse is designed for beginning riders of all ages. Five (5) hours of computer-based training prepares you for eleven (11) hours over 2-3 days of hands-on riding exercises in a controlled, off-street environment on a paved parking lot. You’ll gain critical skills/techniques and confidence in the operation of your motorcycle.
In the computer training, you’ll learn about the different types of motorcycles, layout and operation of the basic controls, and how to become a safer, more responsible rider. On the range, and taught by a MSF-certified RiderCoach, you’ll learn the basic skills on riding a motorcycle, including slow-speed maneuvers (weaves, u-turns, & turns), straight-line riding, stopping, shifting, and turning, gradually progressing to swerving, negotiating curves and emergency braking.
Upon successful completion, the student will earn a waiver for the road test portion of the DMV licensing requirements. Also, some insurance companies may offer insurance premium discounts for those that pass.

EXPERIENCED RIDER COURSE (BRC2)
for Experienced Riders
Already have some riding experience? And, have your own bike that you’d like to learn how to ride more safely and effectively?
The Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC2) is for “experienced” riders, and is designed to get the rider comfortable on their own bike and hone their skills to ride with more confidence. It is similar to the BRC1 except speeds are higher and the rider uses their own motorcycle. The BRC2 is a 1-day course, and is an excellent refresher course for practicing and renewing riding skills.
Upon successful completion, the student will earn a waiver for the road test portion of the DMV licensing requirements. Also, some insurance companies may offer insurance premium discounts for those that pass.
Note: The first two range exercises are “screening” exercises for the instructor to assess your skills. If you cannot fully and safely control your motorcycle or successfully complete these two screening exercises, you will be counseled out of the BRC2 for your safety and the safety of the other students. If you’d like to register for the BRC1 at that point, contact PROMCT; PROMCT will apply a portion of your enrollment fee towards a BRC1 class. If you have any reservations about your riding skills, PROMCT recommends signing up for the BRC1 course.
