Default Any difference between the free NJ motorcycle safety classes & the fee-based classes?

I'm thinking about going for a motorcycle license here in New Jersey. I know that I probably won't have to take a road test if I take a motorcycle safety class and pass it. I also know that there are two types of classes. First, there's a free one offered by the state and, second, there are fee-based ones offered by places like Camden County College and Farleigh Dickinson University. These fee-based classes are $250. Besides the fact that one is free and the other isn't, does anybody know any other differences between the two types of classes? Are the fee-based ones any better? And how often can the free classes be taken? Thanks in advance for the info.

I would take the free one if you don't need to take a road test after the course is completed. Save yourself $250!

Damn, NJ offers FREE motorcycle classes? I wish I had that option, I paid about $250 for a weekend course.

Take the NJ one.

It is free and they provide the bike too!
It is offered in two locations.
Sea Girt & another one (I can't remember right now.)

In the advanced class you use your own bike, but it to is free too!

I know people that have taken both and really seem to enjoy them.

I have taken the advanced course.
You get a discount on your motorcycle insurance too!
