Courses Description

All NJ training providers offer courses that are certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF). There are two basic types of courses:

  • Basic RiderCourse (BRC)
    Whether you’ve never ridden a motorcycle or just never had any formal training, the BRC is a great way to learn how to ride safely and responsibly. If you complete the course you may not have to take MVC's road test.
  • Experienced RiderCourse (ERC)
    Even if you've been riding for some time, there's always something new to learn. An ERC will help to hone your skills and the thinking needed for survival in traffic. Using your own motorcycle, you'll practice techniques for managing traction, stopping quickly, cornering and swerving. A fun way to learn and meet other New Jersey riders.
Top reasons to get training
  1. Proven safety advantage – Studies show that riders with certified training have far fewer accidents. In fact, 90% of motorcycle accidents involve untrained riders. And when accidents do occur, trained riders suffer fewer injuries.
  2. Road test waiver – Upon successful completion of the BRC or ERC, you may be eligible for a road test waiver.*
  3. Insurance discounts – Most insurance carriers offer a discount to motorcyclists who complete a certified training/defensive driving course every 2-3 years. Contact your insurance carrier for details.
  4. Two points deducted from license – If you have points on your license and are eligible, NJMVC may deduct two points upon proof of successful completion of an experienced rider course.*
  5. Fun – Training isn’t just smart, it’s also a great way to have fun and meet other riders. Many motorcyclists come every Spring to start the season.

*Certain restrictions apply. Contact NJMVC or one of the NJ training providers for details.
