Get trained.
Get endorsed.
Ready to ride legally in Florida? Start with the required motorcycle training and follow the steps to have the endorsement added to your license.
Your course is
the first major step.
Florida requires eligible new riders to complete an approved motorcycle safety course before adding a motorcycle endorsement to their driver license.
Central Florida Riding Academy helps riders complete the training portion of that process through its 2-wheel and 3-wheel RiderCourses.
Completing the course does not automatically add the endorsement to your license. After passing, riders must complete the remaining licensing steps through an authorized Florida driver license or tax collector office.
The credential that
lets you ride.
The endorsement
Added to an eligible Florida driver license, it authorizes the holder to operate the motorcycle types that endorsement covers.
Motorcycle Only
Florida also offers a Motorcycle Only license for eligible individuals who do not hold a regular Class E driver license.
Why the course matters
A 2-wheel RiderCourse leads toward unrestricted riding privileges. The 3-wheel course results in a restriction limiting the rider to 3-wheel motorcycles.
Four steps.
One clear path.
Training is the step the academy handles. The first and last steps happen with the State of Florida.
To add a motorcycle endorsement, riders must hold at least a valid Florida Class E operator’s driver license.
Select the approved RiderCourse that matches the type of motorcycle you plan to operate.
Successfully complete the required course instruction and riding evaluation.
Visit a Florida driver license or participating tax collector office, provide the required identification, pay the applicable fees, and have the endorsement added.
Training complete.
One step remains.
After a rider successfully completes the required course, the course provider submits the result to the Florida Department of Highway Safety and Motor Vehicles.
The rider must then visit a driver license or participating tax collector office to have the endorsement added to their license.
Florida requires the endorsement step to be completed within one year of passing the course. After that, the completion status becomes invalid and the RiderCourse must be taken again.
Choose the course
that matches your ride.
The course selected determines which type of motorcycle the rider will be licensed to operate.

Understand your next step
Finish the course knowing that the endorsement still needs to be added through an authorized Florida licensing office.
Florida requires a motorcycle endorsement or Motorcycle Only license to operate covered 2-wheel and 3-wheel motorcycles on public roads. Riders should confirm whether their specific vehicle falls under the current licensing requirements.
New riders must complete an approved motorcycle safety course through an authorized provider before the endorsement can be added.
No. Course completion satisfies the training portion of the process. The rider must still visit a driver license or participating tax collector office, provide the required identification, pay the applicable fees, and have the endorsement added.
Florida requires riders to obtain the endorsement within one year of successfully completing the course. After that period, the course completion status becomes invalid and the course must be taken again.
No. A completion card or course record is not a driver license or motorcycle endorsement. The licensing process must be completed before riding legally on public roads.
Completing the 2-wheel pathway allows eligible riders to receive broader motorcycle riding privileges. Completing the 3-Wheel RiderCourse results in an “S” restriction limiting the rider to 3-wheel motorcycles.
Choose the appropriate 2-wheel Basic RiderCourse pathway. Contact the academy before registering if you are unsure which course matches the motorcycle types you plan to operate.
Course pricing is shown during booking. Separate state and licensing-office fees apply when the endorsement is added. Confirm current fees with the office completing the transaction.
Visit a Florida driver license office or participating tax collector office that processes driver license transactions. Check the location’s requirements and appointment availability before visiting.
