Course number : DRI124   ID : 26605    Section Number : 1
« back to classes page

Delivering basic riding skills and strategies, this course is designed for true beginners, those with little or no experience, seeking a Class “M” motorcycle license. An individual with a Maryland driver’s license who satisfactorily completes this course will have their course completion information submitted directly to the MVA, indicating MVA requirements have been met for a Class "M" license. Please allow 2 business days for the information to appear in your MVA account. An appointment must be made with a full-service MVA office to update a license within 6 months of completion, or the course will need to be taken again. Out-of-state students receive a Motorcycle Safety Program certificate to present to the home state as proof of completion. This course includes five hours of independent, online study at home that must be completed prior to the start of the course and eleven hours of riding exercises that focus on basic riding skills and strategies. Online instruction focuses on responsible riding, selecting proper riding gear, and developing riding strategies while in traffic and in special situations. Riding exercises take place on a training motorcycle. Students practice clutch-throttle control, stopping, turning, shifting and crash avoidance. Instructors evaluate and coach your performance throughout the course. Successful completion of the course includes both a written and on-range riding test.

Notice

Please read:  This course has a required online portion that needs to be completed prior to the start of class. Please indicate an email address you check regularly when registering. Instructions to access the online component will be emailed one week prior to class. If you don’t see the email in your inbox, please check your spam folder. As our training fleet features taller motorcycle bikes, riders with a current height of 5"5" or less are asked to email motorcycle@frederick.edu to ensure a bike is available for the riding portion of this program. If the course is full, we invite you to add your name to the waitlist. If a spot opens, you will be notified immediately. Adding your name to the waitlist does not register you for the course or guarantee enrollment. We encourage you to not only add your name to a waitlist of the course date you prefer but to register for a future course in the event that you do not get your first choice of dates. This course will meet on campus in an in-person environment.
