Can an MSF RiderCourse waive the Vermont motorcycle skills or written test?
In most states, completing an approved Motorcycle Safety Foundation (MSF) Basic RiderCourse waives the on-cycle skills test at the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles, though many applicants still must pass the written motorcycle knowledge test to obtain their initial motorcycle learner's permit.
