Intermediate Riding Classes
in San Jose

Developed by Total Control Training, the Intermediate Riding Clinic / CMSP 1-Day Premier Course is designed for newer motorcyclists looking to improve their skills as well as riders who have recently returned to riding after years off. This course includes both classroom and on-cycle instruction.

The IRC / 1DPC is based on the most current research in rider safety, utilizes modern training methods and has been proven to enhance student outcomes. Although designed primarily as a safety clinic, this one 8-hour course is also challenging and fun.

The CMSP IRC / 1DPC gives riders age 21 and older, who already possess basic motorcycle knowledge and riding skills but are not licensed, the opportunity to achieve intermediate level skills and the DMV skills test waiver in one day, in which case riders will also have the option to either take it on their own motorcycle or do it in one of our available loaner bikes.

Successful completion of an entry skills exam is required to take this course. Watch the this video to view entry exam requirements.

Successful completion of both the riding and written portions of the course will earn a DMV skills test waiver (DL389) which may waive the riding skills test at the California DMV.

Students who attend this class to obtain their license must be at least 21 years old and will be required to demonstrate fundamental riding skills by passing a basic riding evaluation at the beginning of the class, similar to the Motorcycle Skills Test applied by the California DMV. Watch this video to view entry exam requirements.

‍You must successfully complete this test in order to continue with the rest of the class. If you feel you are not ready to complete this entry test yet, we recommend taking the CMSP MTC.

Riders who already have their own bike and a motorcycle license can take this course without the testing requirements.

Riders who complete the IRC / 1DPC report significantly improved riding skills, confidence and the ability to make better choices about when and how to ride.

The IRC / 1DPC is also used extensively by the Navy and Marine Corps as "Level 2" training (within 60 days of completing a beginner course) and "Refresher" training (every three years) to reduce crashes, injuries and fatalities.

It is officially recognized for Level 2 training by the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines and Coast Guard, which satisfies requirements for active duty service members and civilians to get their base sticker to ride on base.
