PRO Motorcycle Training is your partner in your journey to get your license.  If you do not pass the first time, PROMCT will work with you on next steps.  PROMCT will make every effort to help you succeed.  That is PROMT’s commitment to you!

There are a number of options available as next steps if you fail the course.  Options depend on your progress.  Your Rider Coach will assess your skills and discuss with you to come to a common understanding.  Based on that assessment, PROMCT will contact you to discuss what next steps make sense for you.  Options range from redoing the skills test only to retaking the entire class.

Go to the “Retake Policy” in the “OUR POLICIES” page for retake option details.

There are a number of waivers and forms required for each class.  Go to the Course Forms * page for details.

It the goal of PR Motorcycle Training to provide each student the best training experience possible by quality Rider Coaches. To that end, each Rider Coach will work with each student based on their needs.  However, if a student exhibits riding tendencies that result in an unsafe and risky environment to himself/herself or to others, the training school and the Rider Coach have the obligation to remove the student from the range and end the training session for that student.

For specific policy details, go to the “Counsel Out” policy in the policy section of the “ABOUT” menu.

Yes.  All course components must be completed for successful passing of the course. 

Motorcycling is an awesome and fun experience, and absent special and unique situations, most people can safely ride a motorcycle.  With proper technique and mental awareness, a confident rider can ride most any motorcycle of any size.

However, there are some considerations that you can assess about yourself that will make the experience easier or more difficult. A positive response to the following questions will set you up for success:

1. Can you ride a bicycle?
   This is a prerequisite for enrolling in our Basic RiderCourse and generally a good gauge of your ability to maneuver a motorcycle.  Bicycling, like motorcycling, is a physical activity that involves balance and coordination.  If you’ve not ridden a bicycle in a while, KDMT recommends that you get plenty of riding in before coming to the range.
2. Am I mentally ready to ride a motorcycle?
   Riding a motorcycle is not for everybody.  There is inherent risk, and some people are fearful or anxious.  Fear and anxiety are not helpful emotions when riding a motorcycle.
3. Am I physically able to ride a motorcycle?
   There are certain heights that make riding some motorcycles more difficult.  If you are unable to put your feet firmly on the ground while on the seat, the overall operation is more risky and uncomfortable.

The successful completion of your BRC1/BRC2 course results in a waiver for the skills/road test portion of the Wisconsin Dept of Transportation (WISDOT) licensing requirements.  Additionally, if you don’t have your temporary permit, there is a knowledge test administered at the DMV.

When you complete your course, you will be issued a MSF Completion Card as proof of successful completion.

• PRO Motorcycle Training will notify the WISDOT within 2 business days after card issuance that you passed the course;  at that time, you can visit any DMV center and get your Class “M” Endorsement (provided other licensing requirements are met).
• If you arrive at the DMV prior to PRO Motorcycle Training notifying the DMV of your passing the MSF course, your MSF Card can be used as proof of your successful passing of the course.  This is your card; do not give it the DMV agent.

Click here to go to the Wisconsin DOT website for more information.

Yes. *

* If taking the class as a waiver for your home state’s licensing requirements, some states do not accept Wisconsin-issued BRC completion cards.  Click here to see the restrictions for your state (page 7, column 5).
