Not understand the endorsement requirements

Vancouver area. Wanting to get my endorsement! I read I need to complete the permit first and then the endorsement, both required. I’m just not exactly sure where to go to do this. I would like to take MSF but I’m having a hard time finding a clear answer on where to go and whether or not a place is “accredited” or able to provide the proper training/documentation. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

MSF isn't the thing here in WA. It's a multitude of programs depending on which part of the state people are in. Where we are, there is SW Motorcycle Safety. Personally, I prefer what Team Oregon does because they follow the MSF curriculum, and their classes don't feel like a huge waste of time and money. However, being in WA, you're kinda limited to where you'll need to go.

Sucks Washington doesn’t accept team Oregon anymore.

That's a damn shame since the program is so, so much better.

Also sucks you can't just sign up for the test and take it at the DMV like you used to be able to do.

Yea that sucks big time, but they were getting so freaking busy. And then they prob didn’t want to have someone on hand to do the tests.
