The Basic Rider Course (BRC) is a 12-15 hour program, which provides classroom and actual motorcycle operator training in a controlled, off-street environment.

The BRC was developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) as a complete riding program for the beginning rider. The BRC course provides beginning motorcyclists with the basic mental and physical riding skills necessary to minimize risk on the street.

The BRC is taught by coaches that are MSF certified and is approved by Mississippi's Department of Public Safety as a waiver to the motorcycle road test.

And other topics, all included to increase your motorcycle riding enjoyment and safety.

MoToSteps provides motorcycles, DOT helmets and shatter proof eye protection (loaner) and course materials.

The BRC is both mentally and physically demanding. Please be sure that your calendar is clear, you are well rested and free of distractions during your course. Perfect attendance and proper riding gear are mandatory. Failure to attend ANY training session (classroom or riding), failure to have proper riding gear as outlined above, or showing signs of intoxication or under the influence of drugs that results in unsafe behavior will result in dismissal from the course and the cancellation policy will apply.

The Experienced Rider Course also covers protective gear, rider responsibility, motorcycle inspection and care, the effects of alcohol and other drugs on riding.
