Specific, strong, and measurable education standards are tools to ensure students receive the level of information and experience necessary to properly prepare them for real-world riding situations. In addition to providing that foundation, the Model National Standards for Entry-level Motorcycle Rider Training (“Model Standards”) permit greater flexibility in course development and delivery. The Model Standards also facilitate growth and improvement in State education systems. The Model Standards establish baseline content that all entry-level riders should be taught in motorcycle rider training classes held in United States. States are encouraged to work with curriculum developers to not only include lessons that meet the Model Standards but to also go beyond the standards where needed to address specific State crash causes and trends Tailoring curricula to specific State needs, in addition to delivering baseline content, will produce informed students and safer riders.
