Motorcycle Courses — Victoria, BC
New to riding or ready to level up? Start here.
We offer structured training for absolute beginners through to licensed riders who want sharper skills and more confidence. Novice courses run January through November. Advanced courses run April through August.
Novice Motorcycle Courses (with MSA/MST)
Designed for new riders and anyone who hasn’t used a clutch motorcycle before (but is suitable for any rider looking to fast track the licensing process, while improving skills and safety). This pathway takes you from first contact with a bike through the on-site Motorcycle Skills Assessment / Test (MSA/MST), then onward to on-street coaching as you work toward your Class 6 licence.
- Classroom foundations: clear, step-by-step theory to prepare you for range and road.
- On-bike range training: low-speed control, clutch/throttle balance, precise braking, and manoeuvres.
- On-site MSA/MST: complete your skills assessment/test as part of the course (see details on course page).
- Optional traffic training: on-street coaching, hazard awareness, and mock road test.
- Equipment support: training motorcycles and riding gear available for students (see availability/details on course page).
Advanced Rider Training (Skills Upgrade)
For licensed riders (or returning riders) who want targeted coaching and real-world drills to improve precision and confidence.
- Control & finesse: tight U-turns, figure-8s, balance, and smooth inputs.
- Emergency skills: threshold braking, braking while turning, and obstacle avoidance.
- Bike handling: body position, low-speed mastery, and practical bike-pickup technique.
- Bring your own motorcycle (alumni rentals may be available; see the course page for details).
- Rain or shine: train in conditions you’ll actually ride in.
