eRider Basic courses with online classroom are available. Basic Rider Training Course Detail Basic Rider Training (BRT) is a 15-hour endorsement course for novice riders. The course takes place over three days and provides seven hours of classroom instruction and eight hours of range (on-cycle) instruction.(Courses with online classroom are also available – study at home for fewer class hours!) Training motorcycles 125-250 cc and DOT helmets are provided. For individuals with no riding experience, BRT is the recommended course. Classroom discussion and materials include risk management, riding gear, motorcycle controls and operation, riding strategy, roadway management, impairments and special riding situations like carrying passengers and group riding. Practice riding starts with basic skills, such as getting underway, turning, shifting and stopping, then moves on to the more advanced street skills of emergency braking, cornering and swerving. Get your motorcycle license! BRT meets Oregon’s mandatory training requirements for all new riders. Driver and Motor Vehicles (DMV) waives the state knowledge and on-cycle skill tests for riders of any age who successfully complete the course.

COVID-19 Information Motorcycle endorsement and training laws have NOT been suspended. Riding legally in Oregon still requires an endorsement or permit.

Completion Requirements Taking an approved course is the first step toward earning a motorcycle endorsement. Before applying for an endorsement at DMV, make sure you understand the Oregon DMV licensing process. OUT-OF-STATE RESIDENTS Washington accepts Team Oregon BRT for a motorcycle permit, but not IRT or eRider™ courses. Contact the licensing agency in your home state to verify which courses are accepted before signing up for a Team Oregon course. Completion cards are awarded to graduates of BRT. To receive a completion card, you must attend all classroom and on-cycle riding sessions, pass a written knowledge test and pass an on-cycle skill test. DMV waives the knowledge test and on-cycle skill test for graduates who possess a valid completion card. Riders who successfully complete BRT are eligible for insurance discounts under Oregon law. For additional information, see Eligibility Requirements and What to Bring. Most participants complete the course successfully. However, there is no guarantee of course completion or graduation. Students who fail to demonstrate a minimum level of safety will be dismissed without refund.
