Course Description

This two-wheeled motorcycle training course is for novice riders and those with limited riding experience, as well as riders who haven't ridden for a few years. The course teaches the basic skills needed to operate a two-wheeled motorcycle in traffic. Training includes a five hour online Basic eCourse and 12 hours of on-motorcycle riding exercises. Motorcycles are provided to individuals attending this course.

Some of the training locations have a limited number of scooters available for those individuals that have made the decision to ride a scooter. The scooters have an automatic transmission so shifting is not required. If you decide to take a course using a scooter you will need to check the box next to “I wish to take the course using a Program Scooter”. If that option is not offered, then a scooter is not available for the course you have selected.

Students successfully completing a Basic Rider Course conducted by the VT Rider Education Program will be exempt from taking the Vermont motorcycle written and skill examinations to obtain a motorcycle endorsement.

Course Enrollment Requirements
