Advanced Classes

1 Day Premier Course (1DPC) formerly known as the Intermediate Riding Clinic

The California Motorcyclist Safety Program 1-Day Premier Course allows riders who already know how to ride but are not licensed the opportunity to achieve intermediate-level skills along with the DMV DL389 for their motorcycle license.

It is also the perfect next step for newer riders who are looking to improve their skills as well as riders that have recently returned to riding after years off. This course includes both classroom and on-cycle instruction.

Successful completion of both the riding and written portions of the course will earn the rider a DMV DL 389 riding test waiver. Per California regulations, you will still need to complete the DMV written test.

At the beginning of class, you will be required to ride the DMV Test as the entry exercise. It is advised that you watch the video below before registering for the course. If you have not been able to pass the test at the DMV, you may use a bike provided then continue the rest of the course on your own motorcycle. Please use the link below to watch the skills test for the course.
