The Connecticut Rider Education Program, sponsored by Northwestern Connecticut Community College, is authorized by the Connecticut Department of Transportation. NCCC offers classes in the Winsted/Torrington area and in East Granby at the Air National Guard Base (on Bradley International Airport).

Three levels of instruction are offered. The Basic Rider Course (BRC) is designed for those with little or no riding experience. An Intermediate Rider Course (IRC) is for those with some street riding experience, a motorcycle learner’s permit (or motorcycle license) and a street legal motorcycle to ride to and in the class. The (ERC) Experienced Rider Course is for riders with a valid current motorcycle endorsed driver’s license, at least 6 months and 500 miles of riding experience, and a street legal motorcycle to ride in the course.

Graduates of both the BRC and IRC will receive a waiver of the Department of Motor Vehicle’s on-cycle licensing skills test and graduates of all three levels receive a Certificate of Completion and are eligible to receive a 10% discount on motorcycle insurance.
