Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a motorcycle permit to take a
class?
No, you do not need a motorcycle permit for the
Basic Rider class. You just need a valid Driver
License. For the Experienced class, you do
need a valid Motorcycle License.
Do I need to have my own motorcycle?
For the Basic and Intermediate Rider Courses
the DMV supplies motorcycles and helmets. For
the ERC, students must bring their own street-
legal motorcycle and D.O.T. approved helmet.
Do I automatically get my Motorcycle license
at the end of the course?
No. During the class, you must pass a written
and riding test to receive a course completion
card. You can then bring the card to any DMV
and apply for a Motorcycle License ($30.00 fee).
The card will waive the DMV motorcycle tests.
Am I required to take the course to get a
motorcycle license?
No, if you are over 18 years of age, taking the
course is one way to get a motorcycle license,
but you can also take a written and riding test at
the DMV to obtain your license. After passing
the written test at any DMV Office, a 30-day
permit will be issued, which costs $30.00. You
will receive the date, time and location of the
riding test upon application.
How do I sign up for a class with a friend?
Send separate checks and registration forms for
each student in the same envelope. Because
class size is limited, we cannot guarantee
multiple people being placed in the same class.
How can I get a course early in the season?
To increase your chance of getting an early
class, give a full list of dates and locations. Fill
out your form completely - incomplete forms will
be returned, causing a delay in registration.
Can I just drop-in for a class?
No. Only pre-paid and pre-registered students
will be admitted.
If you have any questions please E-mail
Motorcycle.RiderTraining@dos.nh.gov
Or call the office at (603) 271-7000
Course Information
Basic Rider Course (BRC) $110.00
The Basic Rider Course is designed for
beginner riders with little or no previous
motorcycle experience. Students need the ability
to balance and ride a bicycle. Students learn
about different types of motorcycles, their
controls, how they operate and will begin
developing and practicing the mental and motor
skills necessary for safe riding.
The BRC combines classroom instruction
with on-cycle riding practice. Class times will vary
but students will spend a minimum of 5 hours in
the classroom and 10 hours riding. All riding
exercises are conducted at slow speeds on a
protected range.
Students take a written knowledge test and a
riding skill test as part of the course. Students
who complete the course and pass the
evaluations receive a completion card that will
waive the motorcycle skills test given at the DMV
for a motorcycle endorsement for up to one year.
Motorcycles and helmets are provided but
students are responsible for providing the
following protective clothing: eye protection,
gloves, boots that cover the ankles, sturdy pants
and a jacket.
Intermediate Rider Course (Refresher) $50.00
This one-day refresher course is a
continuation of the Basic Rider Course. It is
designed for riders who completed a BRC within
a twelve-month period and who want more
practice on the motorcycle. A student who took
the BRC and did not pass the riding skill
evaluation can re-take the skill evaluation during
the IRC in order to receive a waiver for a
motorcycle endorsement.
Experienced Rider Course (ERC) $60.00
This one-day course is designed for riders
with at least one year of motorcycle experience
and a motorcycle endorsement. Students use
their own registered, state-inspected motorcycles
for range exercises. Proper riding gear, including
helmet, is required.
