A successful completion of a safety course for motorcycles typically eliminates the need to take a driver's license test. The course will train you to anticipate other drivers' moves and to maintain a safe following distance and to ride at a safe level.

Both classroom instruction and riding time are included in the training. Be punctual.  skutery prawo jazdy  may disrupt the class schedule.

Classroom Instruction

The MSF Basic Rider Course is the perfect course for anyone who wants to learn how to ride a motorcycle or scooter. This class provides classroom instruction and actual instruction for operators of motorcycles or scooters in a controlled off-street setting. The BRC is for beginners and can help you to avoid the MVC road test. It teaches street-based strategies that include how to brake effectively and how to navigate in tight spaces, how you can change lanes, and pass without causing any hazards.

The 5-hour ePackage 1 (eP1) eCourse can be taken as a stand-alone program or as a prerequisite to the hands-on part of the full BRC. The eCourse contains videos, interactive lessons and graphics that allow you to explore the mechanics of motorcycling. Insurance discounts could be available to you after successful completion of the course.

The ePackage 1 must be completed in 30 days from the beginning date of your BRC course in order to receive an award and take part in the riding skill evaluation. If the eCourse isn't completed there will be no refund provided. Participants must possess an active driver's license to be able to participate in the BRC.

The CLASS program, which is a two-day rider-training class, allows you to develop your riding skills on a street-legal motorcycle or scooter provided by the school. The class is taught by MSF certified instructors and focuses on developing your confidence and skills as well as a better understanding of the motorcycle/scooter's operating systems. The class is comprised of classes, riding exercises and a riding-skills evaluation.

The course is based upon the wisdom of three time AMA Superbike Champion Reg Pridmore and his hand picked team of instructors. Their ideas have been refined through 50 years of racing, riding and teaching. The concepts are presented in a straight forward way to make them easy to understand and put into practice. The result is a more confident rider who is more confident, skilled and safer.

Practice Range

A good portion of your motorcycle training will take place at a practice field in which you can improve and test your riding abilities in a controlled space. The range is usually closed to traffic so you can practice safely. Your RiderCoach will walk you through the fundamental controls of your motorcycle and the steps to follow before taking you on the range. Your instructor will assess your skills at the end of each session on the range. These sessions will include limited-space maneuvers and brakes. If you pass the riding-skill evaluation, you will receive a BRC Road Test Waiver Completion Card (a license waiver).

You should bring your safety equipment to class. Your RiderCoach can provide helmets to students who do not already have one. But be sure to wear a DOT approved helmet. You should also wear long pants that are non-flare material, a full-fingered gloves, boots that go over the ankle or shoes and eye protection.

You will spend approximately five hours in a classroom learning about your motorcycle before you ride it on the range. Once there, your instructor will help you build your riding skills by guiding you through straight-line riding as well as turning and shifting as you progress to more complicated techniques, such as emergency braking and swerving. The course will conclude with a final assessment of your riding skills at which point you'll receive the certificate of completion and could qualify for a discount on motorcycle insurance.

In many states, a motorbike safety course is required to obtain an endorsement. Check with your local DMV if an approved course or recommendation is required. You must enroll in a Motorcycle Safety Foundation approved program. This could be used to waive the road test required by the DMV.

The MSF's Basic RiderCourse is intended for beginners and can be completed at a variety of locations across the United States. This course combines approximately 5 hours of classroom training with 10 hours of riding bikes. It is the most efficient method to get an MMV license and could also be eligible for an insurance discount.

Feedback from Instructors

"The instructors were very professional and knowledgeable. They genuinely care about their students and it does show. They will teach you the basics of riding on a motorbike. This class is highly recommended for any rider, regardless of age or experience.


The instruction in the classroom was insightful and thought-provoking. The feedback from the instructor was the highlight of the riding instruction. They did not simply say "OK" They told you exactly what you did wrong, like for instance, "You were looking down at the handlebars" or "You gave it too much gas" or "Your wrists were bent" or "You switched gears too quickly" or "You weren't pushing down on the foot peg". Then they told you how to fix it.

This type of coaching is what you can expect in a top-quality training program and is what sets this course from other courses. Some riders might think this is harsh however in my opinion it's necessary to give the student the best chance of passing the test and remaining safe on the bike.

I've taken other courses in the past and there was no personal feedback from the instructor. There's no reason that instructors should decide whether a student can pass the course unless they're clearly threatening or hindering other students in the group.

In my opinion, any motorsports school that doesn't provide personalized coaching is missing a crucial aspect of its curriculum and doesn't deserve the praise it receives in student reviews. Taking the Basic RiderCourse and then pursuing private lessons is the most effective way to get up and running quickly and safely. You can learn from an experienced instructor to avoid making mistakes and start riding with confidence and skills you will use for an entire lifetime. A majority of states will do not require written and endorsement tests for riding licenses for those who have completed a certified RiderCourse, and some insurance companies offer discounts to those who have completed the course.

Final Exam

In the second portion of your class you will be taught road skills such as brakes and accelerating, changing gears, turning, and swerving. This portion of the course will last until you are able to successfully pass a riding skills test. This portion of the class is what determines if you will receive your motorcycle license waiver card. The test will cover maneuvers that the DMV driver examiner will be looking for during your license test. The test can be challenging and if you fail to pass, it's not the end of the world. Be prepared to take it again the next time around and keep up the good work.

If you pass the test the instructor will issue you a certificate of completion that can be used for a motorcycle insurance reduction. You will also be a licensed motorcycle rider and will be able to legally operate your bike on the streets.
