You can take your class at a Department of Defense (DoD) or Coast Guard motorcycle training facilities, when available, or you can take a class at a commercial training programs. These classes will include classroom portions as well as practical motorcycle riding components.
Reimbursement for commercial training programs is subject to the following conditions:
- The Motor Vehicle Safety Tactics, Techniques, and Procedures CGTTP 4-01.4 lists the courses authorized for reimbursement
- Reimbursement is limited to $350
- Reimbursement is limited to active duty personnel.
- Reimbursement is only available for one training provided by commercial.
NOTE: Effective immediately, motorcycle safety training provided by commercial training programs between the dates of Aug. 31, 2021 and Nov. 15, 2021 will not be reimbursed. You will incur personal cost if you schedule or attend a training during this period.
