Basic Rider Course or Riding and Street Skills Course
Students interested in attending a Basic Rider Course (BRC) or Riding and Street Skills Course (RSS) must be 16 years of age or older. Students under the age of 18 must have the written consent of a parent or legal guardian. This written consent is granted on the Waiver Form completed by each student prior to the beginning date of class. In order for a student between 16-18 years of age to register for the Motorcycle class, he/she must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian to sign the Waiver Form giving permission for the student to enroll.
If a student is enrolled in high school, they must complete a Dual Enrollment Form. This form can be obtained from their high school guidance counselor and must be presented to community college staff before the student can enroll in a class.
Students do not need to possess a driver's license to take the course; however, they must be able to ride a bicycle and possess some degree of strength, since the course is physically demanding. Students should be able to support a 300- pound motorcycle while straddling it, and have the ability to push the motorcycle for distances up to 120 feet. Heat and cold weather conditions can add to the strenuous conditions the students will encounter while taking the course.
Students will use state-provided motorcycles when taking the BRC/RSS, unless there are extenuating circumstances that warrant the student using their own motorcycle, such as a physical handicap. In such cases, prior approval must be obtained from the state director.
