BASIC MOTORCYCLE RIDER COURSE   


Successful completion of the course may waive the riding skills test at
the California DMV

The Basic Motorcycle Rider Course is a motorcycle class designed to take
the beginning student from the most fundamental functions and operations of
a motorcycle to advanced street riding skills designed to increase riding
enjoyment and reduce chance of mishaps. Statistically, trained riders are
involved in fewer accidents. Successful completion of the course may waive
the riding skills test at the California DMV.  If you already have a motorcycle
license but have been away from motorcycling for several years, this is also
the motorcycle class for you.
Experience Level
This course is a motorcycle class designed for those persons
with little or no riding experience.
If you have never ridden a
motorcycle before, have ridden less than 3000 miles or less
than three to six months, this motorcycle class is
designed for you.
This motorcycle training will satisfy the riding
requirement to obtain your motorcycle licence. All students
must be able to at least ride a bicycle.
Cost
The course costs $250.00 for persons 21 years of age
or older and
$150.00 for persons 20 years and younger.

What NCMT Provides
As well as providing a safe learning environment and
top-notch instruction we also provide a BRC workbook
for each student, motorcycles* for the training field and
loaner helmets.

What student provides
The student must have eye protection, sturdy gloves,
sturdy leather or equivalent  over-the-ankle
footwear, a long sleeve shirt or jacket and pants.
To enter the Basic motorcycle class you must be:
• at least 15 years 6 months old
• able to ride a bicycle

Students younger than 18 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian
(with identification) to sign the student in at the start of the first evening class.

At the first class, state laws require you to present one of the following
documents:
• a valid driver’s license, or
• a valid DMV instruction permit (a learner’s permit), or
• proof of successful completion of a driver-education program (a photocopy for
us to keep)

Each exercise in each session builds cumulatively on the skills and information
from the preceding exercises and discussions. Therefore, each student must
attend both riding sessions in their entirety and sequence.

Your weekend riding class will be split into two riding groups: a morning group
and an afternoon group. You may request placement in either group but must
stay in the same riding group both Saturday and Sunday. Riding sessions are
5 hours long.

If your RiderCoach determines that your skill level makes you unsafe and you
pose a safety hazard to yourself or others in the class, you may be asked to
leave the class early. This decision is in the sole discretion of the RiderCoach. If
you are asked to leave there will be no refund, although you may re-register and
try again. You may return for free on a stand-by basis. OR, you may pay an
additional $125 dollars and you will get a guaranteed spot in our next available
class with openings.

Northern California Motorcycle Training has a FIVE (5) business day cancellation
policy. All scheduling changes and/or refunds must be done five (5) business days
before the start date of a class for a full refund. If you want to reschedule a class
5 or less business days before the start date of your class you will receive a stand-by
certificate and be allowed to participate in any up-coming class on a stand-by basis
only. Students who are on stand by may pay a re-registration fee of $125.00 and
receive a guaranteed place in one future class.

Course graduation requirements include, but are not limited to:  100% attendance
at all classroom and riding sessions; successful completion of the written knowledge
test at the end of the classroom session; successful completion of the skills test at
the end of the riding sessions.  Students are required to arrive no later than 15 minutes
prior to the start of all riding sessions to complete administrative requirements.
Students who are not present at the start of the riding or classroom sessions are
considered a self-drop and a stand-by student may be given their space in the class.
If such a student wishes to enroll again, that student may be allowed one additional
opportunity to re-take the course on a stand-by basis.  No refund or partial refund
will be given.


We do not guarantee you will master the written or riding skills presented in this
course. Most students successfully complete the course their first time; some
need additional training. If you do not pass the course or have been asked to
leave, you may repeat the course a second time at no additional charge on a
stand-by basis.
