MSF's Experienced Rider Courses
ATC is proud to offer two Experienced Rider Courses. Each course is designed for the rider with some riding experience or the experienced rider looking for a chance to polish their skills and improve their handling of their motorcycle.
These courses are all based on the riding range and involves no classroom sessions.
ERC Skills Plus RiderCourse (ERC+)
This course is designed for riders who are already licensed and
frequently rides. Students may repeat the course periodically to
keep skills and perceptions about safety fresh. A rider must provide
a safe, street-ready motorcycle. The knowledge test and riding skills
test are optional at the end of the session.
Passengers may participate in this course. This is great option for those who ride with a passenger, since you will practice your riding skills with and without the passenger and learn the effects of the passenger on the handling of your motorcycle. This option also teaches the importance of the passenger as vital partner in safe riding.
The course fee for the ERC Skills Plus RiderCourse is $125.00 for a solo rider and $145.00 for the two-up option. Attending this course earns the student a MSF Experienced Rider Course completion card.
ERC License Waiver RiderCourse (ERC-W)
This course is designed for folks with current riding experience who as yet do not possess a Michigan motorcycle endorsement. This is a full-day course and has the same content as the ERC RiderCourse Skills Plus class. Its features are:

Alpha Training Center’s Student Satisfaction Promise
