1. (1) A rider education provider shall report all of the following to the department within 48 hours of completion of a rider education class for each student through the department’s online driver education course information system:

   1. (a) The name of the rider coach who taught the course attended by the student.
   2. (b) Whether the student took the skills test on a 3-wheeled vehicle.
   3. (c) The student’s score on the course exam.
   4. (d) The student's operator's license number.
   5. (e) Whether the person qualifies for and has requested a skill test waiver.
   6. (f) If department computer systems are modified to permit electronic reporting of demerit point reduction qualification, whether the person qualifies for and has requested a demerit point reduction.
   7. (g) The date the student completed the course.
2. (2) No report shall be required for a student who fails the skills test unless department electronic reporting systems will accept reports of failed skills tests.
3. (3) A rider coach shall complete a course completion card issued by the curriculum provider and provide the card to the student upon the student's successful completion of a basic rider course or a basic course for experienced riders. If the rider took the course or skills test on a 3-wheeled vehicle, the rider coach shall indicate that fact on any course completion card provided to the student.

4. (4) Rider coaches may not issue a course completion card to, nor report eligibility for a waiver for, a person who completed a basic rider course or rider course for experienced riders in another state or at a different school than the school at which the coach provides instruction.

   Note: Successful completion of the course includes passing skills and knowledge tests required by s. Trans 129.09 (5). Riders should obtain course completion card from the site that provided instruction and provide that form, or proof of course completion in another state, to the division of motor vehicles when the student applies for a “Class M” endorsement in Wisconsin. See s. Trans 129.07 (2) (a). Because of the different skills required for 2-wheeled motorcycles and 3-wheeled motorcycles, the department restricts a rider’s “Class M” operating privilege who take DMV tests or who take rider courses on 3-wheeled vehicles to 3-wheeled motorcycle operation.
