6. Florida Rider Training Program Course Sponsors

The Florida Rider Training Program (FRTP) uses curriculum developed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation. FRTP Course providers offer a 15-hour MSF Basic Rider Course TM (BRC), which provides an introduction to the fundamentals of safe, responsible motorcycling. This includes the knowledge and skills necessary to ride safely on the streets and highways.

The BRC provides basic entry-level skills for a new rider. BRC RiderCoach TM coach riders to develop the physical skills of a basic control that include straight line riding, stopping, turning/shifting, and then move on to more advanced skills like stopping quickly, cornering, and swerving. Insurance, motorcycle, helmet and student handbook are provided for the course. Students must provide eye protection, gloves (full hand coverage), pants, long sleeved shirt or jacket, and sturdy over-the-ankle footwear.

Completion of this course is required for anyone who applies for a motorcycle endorsement or motorcycle only license. Upon successful completion of this course, graduates may be entitled to insurance premium discounts through participating insurance companies.

Many FRTP course providers also offer MSF Experienced RiderCourse TM Suite. This is a one-day rider course for experienced riders who have a motorcycle endorsement but want to refresh or enhance their skills. These courses cover riding strategies to handle traffic hazards and works on developing cornering, braking, and swerving skills. ERC Suite participants provide their own motorcycle, proof of insurance, and protective riding equipment.
