3. How long will it be after I pass the course to get my certificate?

Thanks for any help.
Rules vary by state and by age in CA. First, at 17 you'll need a m/c permit to take the course in CA. You need a class C license first.

1. written test early in the course. Riding test near the end.

2. with a permit you can ride EXCEPT no passengers, no freeway, and no riding at night. They mail the MSF certificate which you take to the DMV to get your M1 endorsement on your license.

3. I think certificates take maybe 2 weeks depending on who runs the course.
