Motorcycle Rider Training

Central Virginia Community College offers two options to obtain a motorcycle license in Virginia. Upon successful completion of each course, students are provided a Virginia license waiver to be taken to the Division of Motor Vehicles for endorsement purposes.

Basic Rider Course (BRC) - Option 1

The Basic Rider Course (BRC) is a complete Entry-Level, learn-to-ride class. This 15-hour course consists of online and on-motorcycle instruction. Riders will learn basic skills of motorcycle operation and safe riding strategies under controlled range condition. The emphasis is on foundational riding techniques and basic controls using CVCC provided motorcycles.

Basic Rider Course (BRC2) - Option 2 

The Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC2) is for individuals desiring to obtain their motorcycle license who currently OWN a street legal motorcycle and are ACTIVE motorcycle riders. Designed for individuals currently riding Virginia roadways WITHOUT a motorcycle license. This ONE-day course is NOT for beginning riders nor for individuals who do not own their own motorcycle. The emphasis is on mastering foundational riding techniques and basic controls. 

Basic Rider Course (BRC-SP) - Option 3 

Designed for riders who CURRENTLY HAVE A MOTORCYCLE PERMIT/LICENSE and possess basic skills. The goal of this course is to help you further refine your motorcycle handling skills and grow your confidence in your riding ability.

The course consists of only riding exercises, utilizing several of the drills from the Basic RiderCourse and Basic RiderCourse2 curriculums. It is a perfect way for you to reinforce basic skills on your own motorcycle. A skill test is an option and may be provided as a self-assessment opportunity.

Course takes ONE day and is taken on your OWN motorcycle. Motorcycle must have a current Virginia inspection, registration and proof of insurance. It must also pass our inspection.
