Motorcycle Safety Prerequisite eCourse

Complete This Online Module Before Attending Your Rider Course

All students enrolled in the Basic Rider Course (BRC) or the Basic Rider Course 2 (BRC2) at Glen Oaks must complete the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) eCourse before arriving for in-person training. This free, online course takes about 4-5 hours and introduces the essential safety concepts you’ll need to succeed on the riding range.
