What course must be completed to obtain a motorcycle endorsement?

To obtain a motorcycle endorsement, the Novice motorcycle-training course is specifically designed to equip new riders with essential skills and knowledge required for safe motorcycle operation. This course typically includes both classroom instruction and practical riding experience, focusing on critical areas such as handling, braking, turning, and understanding road hazards.

By completing this course, students not only learn to operate a motorcycle safely but may also be able to obtain a waiver for the riding skills test when applying for their motorcycle endorsement. This requirement reflects the state's commitment to enhancing motorcycle safety and ensuring that riders are adequately prepared for the challenges they may face on the road.

While advanced courses may offer valuable skills and knowledge for experienced riders, and general driving skills or basic road rules courses are important for all drivers, they do not specifically address the unique challenges of motorcycle riding or meet the specific requirements for obtaining a motorcycle endorsement in Connecticut.
