Classroom materials provided. You are encouraged to bring snacks for classroom breaks and range times. We take lunch breaks during the Basic Rider Course. No lunch break is scheduled for the Experienced Rider Course. Range sessions are physically demanding. You will need to drink plenty of water prior to course during warm months. You may also wish to bring sunscreen, rain gear, and extra clothing.

Students who are 15 - 17 years old who have completed the classroom portion of driver’s education, and have obtained a certificate to get a driver's permit, or if you already have your permit or driver's license are eligible to attend the Basic Rider Course. A parent or guardian must accompany a minor to class on Saturday morning to fill out necessary paperwork and waivers for the student if it has not been completed prior to the course date.

For the basic rider course or entry level courses you do not need to have any motorcycling experience, however you should be able to ride a bicycle. You will need to have the ability to balance and stabilize a two-wheeled vehicle prior to beginning the class.

The online portion must be taken within 30 days of course and you must bring certificate to class.

For experienced rider courses, students must have an "M" endorsement on your Driver's License and provide your own street legal motorcycle.

You must also provide proof of motorcycle liability insurance. Current riding experienced is required. You must feel comfortable handling the bike in less than ideal conditions such as heavy traffic, bad weather, higher speeds, etc.

These courses are designed to enhance your riding skills. They will address special handling situations and accident avoidance techniques.

At this time our bikes for the BRC are several different makes, ranging from 125-250cc's in size.
Students will use personal motorcycle for the ERC, provided that it is street worthy with proof of valid insurance.

Courses will be conducted regardless of the weather forecast. In the event of unsafe surface conditions (example: ice on the streets), we will notify you to reschedule the class, based on your contact information you provide us at the time of registration. Rain, heat, wind, and snow flurries are not causes for cancellation. We work around these types of conditions as best as possible keeping student safety top priority.
You should always dress for the weather and be prepared for any type of weather. Texas weather can change without warning. Pay special attention to unbearable summer heat and extreme winter wind chills.

The Basic Rider Course is designed to allow the majority of riders to develop the essential road riding skills within the standard course structure. Not everyone will be successful on his or her first attempt.

If you should fail one of the tests, written or riding, you have several options available to you. We can discuss options with you as if this problem arises. It is mandatory that the course is passed in order to receive a certificate of completion.

Spaces in the courses are limited. If you do not attend or if you show up more than 15 minutes late, and do not provide us with at least four (4) business days notice you will forfeit your course fee. Once you have signed up and paid for training, it is not refundable unless NTMSC has to cancel a course and is unable to move you to another course.

If a student misplaces their DMV completion certificate or MSF card, the student may request a one-time replacement for a $50 fee per card. However, North Texas Motorcycle Safety Course does NOT replace expired cards or any cards after 2 years following the student’s course completion date.
