Motorcycle Rider Course - Basic Rider Course

Class Notes

• The DOT requires all students to review the Motorcycle Safety Course Waiver & Indemnification form prior to the first day of class. The form can be found at www.nwtc.edu/motorcycle. All students will sign the form in class with their instructor. Students under the age of 18 must have a parent or guardian sign the form prior to attending class. Forms are available in the Public Safety office, room CC102 and must be signed in the presence of a Public Safety staff member or notary.

• The Motorcycle Safety Foundation's eCourse is now required to be completed fewer than 30 days prior to the class start date. Your class includes a link that allows you to register for the eCourse for FREE. In order to receive this discount, the link must be used when you create your MSF account. After signing up for the class, NWTC will email you a unique eCourse link within approximately 30 days of the class start date OR less depending on when you register and the class begins. To learn more about the MSF eCourse go to: elearning.msf-usa.org.
