LearnToRide.ORG Classes| LearnToRide.ORG Classes |
Through different levels of motorcycle education training programs offered by Nashville State Community College and LearnToRide.ORG, participants can experience the basics of learning to ride or improve their riding skills. The courses are conducted under the auspices of the Tennessee Department of Safety's Motorcycle Rider Education Program and the Motorcycle Safety Foundation.
* In some cases waiver may not apply.
LearnToRide.ORG offers two types of classes. They are the Basic RiderCourse, and the Experienced RiderCourse Suite.
The Basic RiderCourse involves approximately 16-20 hours of classroom and riding activities. It is primarily designed for novice riders, but is quite applicable even to fairly experienced riders as well. It begins with the basics of motorcycle operation, including use of all the various controls and the basic riding skills of Straight Line Riding, Turning, Shifting and Stopping. Once these basic skills are accomplished the course covers safe riding strategies and introduces some advanced skills as well.
You do not need to have any experience riding motorcycles to take the Basic RiderCourse. However, you must know how to ride a bicycle before you can take this class.
LearnToRide.ORG will optionally allow a student to take the Basic RiderCourse on a small scooter. We have a very limited number of scooters that can be used instead of a regular motorcycle. The scooters do not require the use of a clutch or changing gears.

The Experienced RiderCourse Suite involves approximately 6.5-8 hours of classroom and riding activities. It is designed for experienced riders. It begins with some moderately challenging exercises and works to assist experienced riders in attaining even better skills. It addresses all of the weaknesses commonly found in accident-involved motorcyclists and suggests mental strategies to assist the rider in avoiding collisions that might otherwise be caused by other drivers on the road.
