The BRC2 (used to be called the ERC) is similar to the BRC but it is on your own bike and discusses more street strategies. It is a one day course with no classroom portion. There are just discussions of specific subjects out on the range.
The ARC (Advanced Rider Course) is also on your own bike and it is based off of the Military SportBike RiderCourse (MSRC) it does go in to more advanced riding techniques such as trail braking. It requires a full size range and there are exercises that are performed at 30-35 mph instead of 15-18 mph of the basic courses. It is really a lot of fun.

I am the MSR at my command. The ARC will cover the requirements for you to ride a sport bike or a cruiser. I take the ARC because it covers me to ride my sport bike with one course. Although, they recommend taking a course on each style of bike you ride. Not required, but it's free. I just switch bikes every few years. In the ERC your will be in a class of just cruisers. The ARC you will be mixed with Sport and cruiser.
If you call the Motorcycle Safety Office at Pearl they will be able to help.

well i went to take the ERC and couldn't even participate because my battery had died while i forgot the key in the ignition while we were being briefed by the instructor for 30 minutes. Found out its the BRC but the range is larger so the exercises are 15 and 25mph. It was such a pain in the *** to pull the battery out because i had no tools on me.
