Henche's response (had he not been the OP):
My younger siblings ride around on those scooters. In the U.S. too.
They can be bought on sale at Target and the like for ~$20.
And I don't think they have courses; you just get the hang of it.

I think it depends though on where the person is located and what type of scooter they are talking about

I had a friends scooter/moped for a year- I'd say most people would be fine without lessons.

I believe it varies from state to state and depends on the speed of the moped.

In MA you don't need even a license plate if its under 50cc.  You can even ride in the bicycle lanes.

I rode a borrowed one around the neighborhood today to try it out.  It was very fun, but also more than a little scary.

I have a 150cc one.

In NJ you need a motorcycle license for over 49cc.

The test is not hard at all, you just need to practice a little to be familiar with the maneuvers.

Driving one is not hard at all. I don't think you need to go to a driving school.

If you are looking to buy one - I'll sell mine.

I don't really need it anymore. I haven't driven it for months...
