days). We occasionally
offer weekday classes if there is a demand.

the class codes such as APR05-005 mean?
A
class code of APR05-005 means that the class starts on April 5th
(APR05) and it is the fifth class of the year (hence the
005).
I've
signed up for a class online but have not received confirmation what
do I do?
Signing up for a class
is the three step process. The third step is to register (see www.smmotorcycleschool.com/step3.html).
When you perform the registration process (step 3) we receive your
physical address so we can mail your confirmation letter via
mail. Your confirmation letter tells you where to arrive, what
to bring and so on.
How do I
get a Learners Permit?
Please contact the
Massachusetts registry of motor
vehicles for a Learner's Permit. If you pre-pay for your motorcycle
license, when you apply for the learners
permit, you will receive your new license,
once you pass the course (restrictions apply). The new license will be sent to you in the mail. When
you receive your confirmation form the SM motorcycle training, take
it with you to the registry and ask about pre-pay.
What does
pre-paid or pre-pay for license mean?
Massachusetts resident students with a valid Mass
motorcycle permit may go to the nearest Registry office and let them
know they are taking our course. The RMV will charge a
pre-paid fee of $15 (fee subject to change at the RMV's discretion).
What this pre-paid fee means is that should you pass our course we
will contact the RMV for you and you will receive you license in the
mail usually within 2 weeks or so.
