North Dakota Motorcycle Safety Program

Thank you for your interest in the Abate of North Dakota sponsored Motorcycle Safety Program. The following will give you some information about what courses we are offering and requirements.

All participants must be at least 14 years of age and have parental signature. For the students in the 14-16 year old age group, NDDOT specifies that they cannot take a motorcycle permit test without having participated in the Motorcycle Safety course.

We try to coordinate a group of at least 8 people with a maximum of 24 for each classroom. For the range class a minimum 6 students are required before the range skills portion of the class can be completed.

All classes are subject to change or cancel due to inclement weather (snow, heavy rains, lighting or extremely high winds). Safety is our foremost concern so if we have to reschedule a class we will attempt to contact you at the phone number you provide.

There are 2 class types:

1. Basic Rider Course: The BRC class is ideal for beginners. You do not need to have your permit or license for this class. The class is about 18 hours in length with 5 hours spent in the class and the remainder on the range. The class portion is completed before the range portion. The range has to be completed within 30 days of the classroom or you will not receive a course completion card for the class. The registration fee for the class is $50.00(non-refundable). Please note also, that if you are not present at roll call you will forfeit your seat in the class.

2. Experienced Riders Course: The ERC is for experienced licensed riders and provides them with skills to heighten their awareness and skill levels. This class is about 6.5 hours and the students must have a motorcycle license and proof of insurance. Bikes will also be T-Clocked prior to class start. The registration fee for the class is $40.00(non-refundable). Please note also, that if you are not present at roll call you will forfeit your seat in the class.

All out of state tuition will be $100 non-refundable for either class offered
