Our Class-M license program is tailored for both beginner and experienced riders.
Learn How to Ride Safely
Successful motorcycling is not just a matter of being careful and having good instincts; it requires specialized knowledge, skills, techniques, and strategies. If you have never ridden, are self-taught, or have learned from friends, you will benefit from our professional training, which we've offered for over 35 years.
The Maryland Motor Vehicle Administration (MVA) and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation train and certify our instructors.
Program Requirements
The MVA requires all students to complete an online Motorcycle Safety Foundation course as part of the licensing program. Students will receive online course information on the first day of class.
Note: A valid email address is required to register for this course.
Program Information
This program includes classroom and range (on-motorcycle) sessions. A training motorcycle will be reserved when registering for the Basic Rider Course (BRC) or Basic Rider Course 2-LW (BRC2-LW). Students attending weekend sessions should bring a snack or a bagged lunch.
What to Wear
Students must come to the range sessions with the following gear:
- Long-sleeve shirt or jacket
- Long pants
- Sturdy low-heeled shoes or boots covering the ankles
- Full-fingered leather gloves
- Department of Transportation (DOT)-certified helmet covering the ears
- Eye protection (e.g., face shield, goggles, or sunglasses)
Weather Policy
Classes are held rain or shine.
Class M Licensing
Students currently licensed in Maryland (with a Class-C license) who have completed the BRC or BRC2-LW courses will receive a Maryland MVA Certificate of Completion. They must also present the certificate to any full-service MVA (in addition to a vision exam and paying a licensing fee) to receive your Class-M (motorcycle) license endorsement. This endorsement is required to ride motorcycles on public roads legally.
Out-of-state residents will only receive a Maryland Motorcycle Safety Program completion card. Out-of-state residents should verify with their hometown MVA to see if the card is ready for licensing.
Students who complete the BRC or BRC2-LW course will receive a Maryland Motorcycle Safety Program completion card. You should present this card to your insurance company for possible premium discounts.
Additional Requirements
To complete the program successfully, participants must do the following:
- Complete an online Motorcycle Safety Foundation course (Students will receive information on the first day of class).
- Provide a valid email address at registration.
- Present a state-issued photo identification to the instructor.
- Must be at least 16 1/2 years old.
- Report to all classes on time. Failure to do so will result in dismissal from the program without a refund.
- If under 18 years old, parental permission is required.
Refund Policy
The College doesn’t offer refunds once a class starts. However, students who were counseled out of the class and wish to retake it can do so at a reduced fee.
