Signing Up for a Course

Please be aware that courses do fill quickly on a first come--first serve basis.  There are a limited number of spaces available in each class.  We are not able to reserve class slots without a tuition payment.  Therefore it is important that when completing a registration form you pick TWO dates that you can attend.  After submitting the completed form and payment, either on-line, by U.S. Mail or by telephone, you will need to submit a clear copy of your motorcycle learner's permit if you already have it***.   Upon receipt of your registration and tuition we will mail you a confirmation letter indicating the date, time and location of your class.  You are not scheduled in any course until you receive this confirmation letter.  
***Please note:  a clear copy of your motorcycle learner's permit must be sent to the office by email, fax or U.S. Mail at least two weeks before your class begins.
