Why MSF Training Matters for New Riders in Florida
The Motorcycle Safety Foundation has spent more than five decades crafting some of the most respected rider education programs in the country. Their curriculum is exactly what we build on at State Motorcycle Training — and this free eBike initiative is a clear window into the depth and quality of their approach.
If a 90-minute online safety course can make someone a more aware rider, imagine what a full 2-day hands-on motorcycle endorsement class can do for your confidence and your future on the road.
State Motorcycle Training is certified by both the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) and the Florida Rider Training Program (FRTP) — the two leading approving bodies for motorcycle rider education in Florida. Students who pass our course can add a motorcycle endorsement to their Florida driver licensewithout taking the Florida DMV riding skills test. Many insurance providers also offer a discount to graduates of an MSF-certified course.
What the MSF Basic RiderCourse Includes
The MSF Basic RiderCourse is designed for beginner riders ages 16 and up. Here's exactly what students get at State Motorcycle Training:
