Cowley College is offering motorcycle course

Basic motorcycle safety is the focus of a course being offered through Cowley College in late May.

The Motorcycle Safety Basic RiderCourse will take place over two and a half days and is designed to teach the participant to operate the motorcycle safely, with special emphasis on skills and mental attitude necessary to deal with traffic. Registration is set for 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. May 1 at the Arkansas City campus.

The first class is to begin May 22.

Upon completion of the course, students will exhibit knowledge, skills, attitudes, and habits for the safe operation of a motorcycle. The course will qualify graduates for a motorcycle certificate of completion in Kansas, and also insurance premium discounts with many motorcycle insurers.

A motorcycle and helmet will be provided. Cost of the course is only $275. To enroll for this one-hour college credit course, contact an admissions representative at 620-441-5594.
