Online Learning

The Motorcycle Safety Foundation eCourse curriculum is an important part of your rider training journey. We want to set you on the right path; answering the following will help us point you in the right direction.

Answer the following questions:

Are you exploring MSF online courses because you are currently enrolled, or are planning to enroll in an MSF hands-on course?

If yes, check with your training provider to determine which eCourse you need to take and if the cost is included in your hands-on tuition. Most programs send their students a unique enrollment link to ensure you enroll in the right online course at no additional cost.

If you want to take an online course as a stand-alone program (separate from an on-motorcycle class), review our selection of eCourses below to find the one that’s right for you.

Review and select from the following options:

Basic eCourse

Ideal for anyone curious about riding a motorcycle. Covers basic motorcycle types, operations, rules of the road and more.

Street Strategies eCourse

Already ride? This course looks beyond basic motorcycle operation and focuses on strategies used by riders when riding on public roads. Perfect for current riders looking to keep sharp while riding, or riders returning to motorcycling after time away.

Human Factors

Physical conditioning, mood, reaction time and many other physical and intellectual elements that affect you when riding. Perfect for anyone riding on two or three-wheels, including eBikes!

Basic RiderCourse ePackage1

This course combines the Basic and Human Factors content into a single eCourse. It’s perfect for new riders and is a prerequisite for many MSF Basic RiderCourses.

Basic RiderCourse2 ePackage2

Often the eCourse element of a Basic RiderCourse2 license waiver, the EP2 combines Street Strategies and Human Factors. This is often a prerequisite to the on-motorcycle portion of your class.

iBooks

An effective discussion tool to help a friend or family member have a serious conversation with a prospective motorcycle rider about a safe way forward.
This book is intended to increase your awareness of motorcyclists and scooter riders on the roadway.
This course is designed by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) to assist those interested in preparing for and facilitating a group discussion about all aspects of drivers and commercial drivers sharing the road with motorcyclists.
