I learned a lot by taking this course. I rode motorcycles on the West Coast 30 years ago but felt as though I should definitely take the beginner course. The course was very well taught and the Instructor made sure to give examples of what he wanted us to do when we were riding. His critiques were concise and fair.The reason for the 3 star review is because of the failure of their attempt to notify students that they were able to go to DMV and take the knowledge test. They use the ride4ever website which the student is supposed to check with everyday to see if their course completion number is posted. Once posted it means that you are now in the DMV system and can go in and take the test. I actually went into the DMV a week after the course to find out if there was a problem on their end. It turns out that the information was uploaded to DMV and I could have taken the test 2 days earlier. They also need to update their website regarding where they are located. According to their website they are located in Plainfield, CT. I did not find out that they are now located in Groton, CT until I had already paid for the course. For the record my course completion number still has not been posted.I would definitely recommend this course but do your own paperwork follow ups with DMV.

When i signed up for this class i wasn't sure what to expect, and with anything DMV related, i had low expectations. After taking a 20 year break from riding, i thought a class would be a good idea when starting my search for a new bike, and a discount on insurance doesn't hurt either.This two day class greatly exceeded my best expectations! Honestly i learned a lot, knocked off a lot of rust from my skills, and was very impressed with both of the instructors. They were both highly educated professionals with an obvious love for riding and teaching others. After purchasing a bike, i am looking forward to returning for the intermediate class.

I hate mandated courses and certifications needed for everything, they're usually boring classrooms with useless information, and I only took this course because it's required. I gotta say I was really surprised here though. Sinco lead the class, but everyone there was very friendly and non-judgmental, and you could tell that they truly wanted to help and see everyone succeed. Classroom time was short and didn't get boring, and range time was actually much more involved and informative than I was expecting. The overall atmosphere was laid back and comfortable, but they still had enough structure to properly teach and keep everyone safe. This started out as a dreaded waste...read full review
