about the courses
Novice Rider Course (NRC) The NRC is specifically designed for the novice or re-entry rider. This course is held over a weekend or two full days during the week. Our weekent NRC is held Friday evening from 6:00 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., Saturday and Sunday approximately 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Our weekday classes vary as to time and days. We offer two options for the NRC: the Subsidized and Non-Subsidized Courses. The course content is the same for both courses. The Subsidized Course costs $125 for any Washington State resident over 18 years of age and $50 for any resident under 18 years of age. This course is partially funded by the Department of Licensing and allows us to provide courses 2 or 3 times per month within our business season (tpically late March through early November). Our Non-Subsidized Courses are held once or twice a month and cost $225 per student. These courses are not funded through the Department of Licensing. Since Subsidized Courses fill quickly and we often have a waiting list, Non-Subsidized Courses are an excellent option for those who prefer not to wait.	Intermediate Rider Course (IRC) The IRC is a class designed fo a rider who has ridden for at least a year and has a good degree of knowledge and experience. This class is a six-hour class held typically on a Saturday from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 pm.m The IRC enables you to earn the endorsement waiver by attending the class and passing the evaluation on your own motorcycle. For the IRC you must have a permit and motorcycle insurance (for liability purposes). The IRC is a terrific way to advance your riding skills, brush up your current skills and gain greater confidence on your own motorcycle while recieving your endorsement

Additional Riding Course (ARC) The Additional Riding Course is designed for the student who would like extra riding in a secured site with a professional motorcycle instructor. **It is a requirement that you have completed a Novice Rider Course before taking the Additional Riding Course. This class is approximately 4 hours in length and takes you through several of the same exercises you did in the Novice Rider Course. This gives you the ability to improve those necessary skills for safe riding. Enrolling in the Additional Riding Course helps you to feel even more comfortable on the motorcycle without the pressure of taking a test. This class allows you to enhance your riding ability and fine tune your skills without the threat of traffic. This class does not qualify a student for their motorcycle endorsement but was designed to give the student more time on the motorcycle in a safe and controlled atmosphere. The Cost is $100…space is limited so sign up now! You will need all the same equipment you needed for the NRC class: DOT Approved Helmet Eye Protection (sunglasses/eyeglasses) Long Sleeved Shirt/Coat Long Pants (jeans, etc.) Boots That Cover the Ankle Full Fingered Leather Gloves Classes will be held Thursday afternoons from 2-6 pm approximately once a month.
