« back to classes page
ClassGraphic The California Motorcyclist Safety Program Motorcyclist Training Course is designed for both beginning and experienced motorcyclists. Students attend a total of at least 16 hours of classroom and on-cycle instruction. The course introduces the fundamentals of safe, responsible motorcycling. Experienced riders can also benefit by learning safety skills and by the convenience of taking the riding test on our smaller motorcycles to earn the DL389 certificate.

All students must attend both lectures and both range sessions and must be on time. If you are late to any portion of the course for any reason, you will forfeit the entire course fee. To reschedule, you must call the Community Lifelong Learning office. The cost of the course is $425 for students 21 or older and $395 for students 15½20 years old. A parent or legal guardian with valid ID must accompany a minor (15 ½ - 17 years old) to the first class to complete paperwork. No exceptions! The DMV requires riders under 21 to successfully complete a Basic Rider Course to obtain a motorcycle operator's license. Registration and payment for the motorcycle course do not guarantee a DL389 Certificate; you must successfully complete all portions of the course.

You can participate in the course by reserving one of our scooters or by using your student-owned scooter. Special requirements apply when using a student-owned scooter. You must call the office in advance at (209) 575-6063. Please read the Special Notice before registering.
