We have training motorcycles for our MSF training classes, although you are encouraged to bring your own motorcycle to the Intermediate training class.

Our three wheel training classes will require that you bring your own rig at this time. It is possible to share a rig with someone who is taking the class with you.

All 3rd party testing done at this site requires that you bring your own motorcycle. The motorcycle you bring for testing must be legal to ride on Washington State Roadways and will undergo a brief safety check.

If you are under the age of 18, a class is required to have your full endorsement added. You must still take and pass all 4 tests, but a class must be taken and passed to complete the process.

Option #1 Testing Only

As always, you may challenge the tests without training. This is called the 3rd Party process.  In the 3rd Party process, you are responsible for studying and practicing on your own. All testing is done at our Richland Training Facility.

If you opt to do the 3rd Party process, you must supply a motorcycle for the skills test. You are not exempt from any traffic laws so you must also get your motorcycle to our facility legally. I am not law enforcement, I do not check, nor penalize you if you do not make arrangements to get your bike here legally, however you are running a risk of fines and / or the impounding of your motorcycle if you are caught while on a public roadway.

You must take and pass the 2 permit tests prior to taking the 2 endorsement tests. After taking and passing the permit tests, you may have your permit added at the DOL. You now have an online option as well as an in-person option to add your Permit/Endorsement at the Department of Licensing. Your permit is good for 180 days, with the possibility of having an additional 180 extension. Your permit scores are valid for 365 days.

During the time your permit scores are valid, you must return to complete the 2 endorsement tests.  If you permit scores have expired, you must start the process again!

Testing is scheduled by the session. We offer 3 different sessions. A session where only the Permit Skills and Knowledge is administered, A session where only the Endorsement Skills and Knowledge is administered and a session where all 4 tests are administered. Only the tests listed in the session title are offered during that session.

If you choose to enroll in a Permit / Endorsement testing session where all 4 tests are administered in the same session and you pass all four, you may skip adding the learners permit and add your full endorsement.

The cost for either a Permit or an Endorsement testing session is $120.00 each. You will be given 2 opportunities at both the written and skills test. It is no guaranteed you will be able to retest in that session.

The cost for a Single Session All Tests session where all 4 tests are administered in a test session runs $220.00. Again, you will have 2 opportunities at each test for the fee paid.

Option #2 Training/Testing

The other option is to take a class, which includes the use of our motorcycle for the class and the end of class Permit test.

The result of a Basic or Intermediate class is the testing for the permit. Once you successfully complete the class and the permit testing, you may have your permit added with the DOL. You must return during the time your permit is valid to complete the endorsement process.

When you take the endorsement tests, you will be considered a 3rd Party tester and will be responsible for studying and practicing on your own. You must supply a motorcycle for the endorsement skills test.
Each class fee includes the use of our motorcycle for the class and two attempts at each permit written and skills test.

You do need to email [email protected] with any requests to switch your class date or cancel your class.

If you need to reschedule your class, there will be a $25.00 rescheduling/canceling fee.

If you are rescheduling within a week of your scheduled class, there will be no refund.

If you do not show up to your scheduled class, there will be no refund.

We understand that life happens and will try to work with you as best as we can.
