Learn the bike. Build your confidence.
New to motorcycling or ready to return with stronger fundamentals? The Basic RiderCourse combines structured instruction with hands-on riding practice to help riders develop the skills and confidence needed to move forward.
Your first ride
starts with the basics.
The Basic RiderCourse is the academy’s flagship 2-wheel training experience. It is designed to introduce new riders to the fundamentals of motorcycle operation in a structured, supportive environment.
Riders progress from becoming familiar with the motorcycle and its controls to practicing the skills needed to ride with greater control and awareness. The goal is not simply to complete a course. It is to build a stronger foundation for every ride that follows.

who teach riders.
The academy is new in name only. The motorcycle training side of Orange Osceola Safety Institute has been purchased and rebranded as Central Florida Riding Academy — same instructors, same Kissimmee location, same phone number. Motorcycles only.
The same team that has been teaching riders in Osceola County continues under the CFRA brand.
Classroom fundamentals and real hands-on range time, in a sequence built for people who have never ridden.
Every session runs with proper protective gear and instructors who expect first-timers.
The course is designed for new riders, including those with little or no previous motorcycle experience. Anyone unsure whether the course matches their current ability should contact the academy before booking.
Confirm motorcycle availability and equipment details in the current registration information before booking. Do not assume that a personal motorcycle is required or permitted unless the academy confirms it.
Required gear generally includes a helmet, eye protection, full-finger gloves, long sleeves, durable long pants, and over-the-ankle footwear. The booking confirmation will contain the final requirements for the selected class.
Course timing and attendance requirements are provided during registration. Riders should review the full schedule before booking and plan to attend every required component.
