Fucking idiotic decision!
I'll kick my son's ass if he decides to ride.

What you need to do is not kick your son's ass but find out if he may be interested in riding, and if so, get him on a dirtbike and make sure his brain develops motorcycling synapses. A training course will not do.
I've been riding all my life, since I was a kid. I had two childhood friends whose parents were so overprotective they wouldn't let their kids near anything with an engine. As soon as they got out of home they got bikes way beyond their skills and were both dead within a year.
What I don't understand is that any total beginner can buy and operate a bike that requires jet fighter reflexes and EXPERIENCE to operate at even a fraction of its potential. There should be a requirement for beginners to ride a small, lightweight bike for at least a couple of years, then pass a very stringent riding test before being let lose on the big guns.
Truely sorry about your loss, but it's not the motorcycle that killed your uncle.
