The Basic and  Experienced courses emphasize the risks involved with riding a motorcycle.  These risks also exist while one rides during the course.  Students registering for the Basic RiderCourse must be able to, at minimum, balance and ride a bicycle.

The instructor may dismiss students unable to keep pace with the class, or who pose a hazard to themselves or others.

There will be no refunds, pro-rated or in full, if dismissed by the instructor.

Statewide approximately 95% of students successfully complete this course their first time.  Please understand that these courses have a group-learning format that limits the ability of the instructors to provide individual instruction to students.  These courses are mentally and physically demanding, and weather conditions can increase the stress on students.
