Basic Rider Course
This is about a 15-hour course spread out over 3 days. The class schedule is as follows:
| Thursday | 6PM to 9 PM | Classroom |
| Saturday | 7 AM to 12 PM | Range |
| 12 PM to 1 PM | Lunch on your own | |
| 1 PM to 4 PM | Classroom | |
| Sunday | 7 AM to 12 PM | Range |
You must attend all 3 days to earn your certificate, which in most cases will waive the driving portion of your test with DPS. We offer classes weekly at our Austin and Buda locations.

- Bring sunscreen.
- Bring drinks & snacks (it’s a long day).
