Feedback from the Instructor
"The instructors were very professional and knowledgeable. They are concerned about their students, and it shows. They will teach you the basics that you need to be aware of when riding a motorcycle. This class is highly recommended to every rider, regardless of age or previous experience.
The instruction in the classroom was thought-provoking and informative. The instructor feedback was the best part of the riding instruction. They didn't just say "OK" however, they gave you the reasons why you did it wrong. For example, "You looked down at the handlebars", "You gave it too many gas", "Your wrists are bent", "You shifted too early", or "You weren't putting pressure on your foot peg". They also explained how to fix the problem.
This kind of personal coaching is the cost you pay for a high-quality training class and is what sets this course apart from others. Some riders may consider this to be harsh however my view is that it's imperative to give students the best chance of passing the test and being safe on the bike.
I've been to classes in the past and the instructor never gave me any feedback. Unless a student is posing a clear danger or hindering the advancement of others in the class There's no reason that instructors should have the final say on whether or not the student has passed the course.
I believe that any school offering moto without personal coaching is missing an important component of their curriculum, and doesn't deserve the high marks they get in student reviews. The best way to learn quickly and safely is to go through the Basic RiderCourse, followed by private lessons. This way, you can learn from a pro, avoid bad habits, and get out on the road with confidence and the skills that will last for years of riding pleasure. Most states waive the written and riding license endorsement tests for graduates of a certified RiderCourse and some insurance companies offer discounts to those who have completed a course.
Final Exam

This portion of the course is held until you're able pass a riding skills evaluation. This portion of the course will determine whether you receive your motorcycle license road test waiver card. The evaluation includes maneuvers that the DMV driver's examiner is looking for in the driver's license exam. It's okay if it doesn't pass the exam. Just work hard to pass the next time around and continue to work hard.
If you pass the test your instructor will issue you a course completion certificate which you can use to obtain a discount on insurance for motorcycles. You will also be a certified motorcycle rider and can now legally operate your motorcycle on the streets.
