Mississippi runs no state-administered or state-contracted rider training program. The Department of Public Safety's own motorcycle page names only the Motorcycle Safety Foundation generically, directing riders to find a nearby course and call for cost and scheduling; it neither names a curriculum nor prices one centrally. The Driver Service Bureau's own endorsement page frames the qualifying class by AAMVA endorsement rather than by curriculum name, which is the standard this record follows.
