Classes are held in Killingly, Norwich, Colchester, and Groton. Students must possess a valid operator’s license or a State of Connecticut Motorcycle Permit. Training motorcycles and helmets are provided. Successful completion of this course fulfi lls the requirements of a State approved novice rider course for licensing purposes. Graduates receive a waiver for 60 days of the Connecticut DMV on-cycle license tests. Some participants fi nd the basic motorcycle riding skills diffi cult to master. Registration in this course does not guarantee successful completion. Instructors have the authority to ask a student to leave this course if they are deemed a danger to themselves or others while on the range.

Do not register for a class if you have a prior commitment or cannot make the entire class at the scheduled times.
