The Rider Training Institute (RTI) is a national not-for-profit association that offers comprehensive motorcycle licensing and skills development training programs across Ontario. Motorcyclists from all backgrounds, whether beginners or experienced riders, choose RTI as their partner in building safe and enjoyable motorcycling careers. The institute's admin staff and instructors are friendly, encouraging, and dedicated to providing a positive learning experience. Customers praise the well-structured courses, personalized advice, and exceptional instructors who help develop confidence and riding skills, even for those new to motorcycling. Many students find the training thorough and supportive, with instructors like Warren, Jason, and Pablo praised for their patience, enthusiasm, and knowledge. Some students recommend practicing beforehand and warn that high demand can lead to quick pass-throughs, but overall, RTI is seen as a reliable place to learn and grow as a rider.
I have to shout out 3 amazing instructors. Ted, Warren and Jason were absolutely brilliant during my training on October 19&20 in Toronto. They were so patient yet informative and helpful. Thank you guys for making my first motorcycle experience an absolute pleasure.
My experience likely isn't like others due to severe intractable pain. I wasn't sure how much pain it would cause me over 18 hours!!. I had one month of practice prior to going due to an insurance company willing to insure 1 month prior to give practice but with the promise of passing the course and getting my M2, which I did. I recommend practicing prior to going if you can. I have a street bike, so I was used to riding already by watching a ton of videos and going every day.
Ottawa location was great. Not the best with names right now but Brittany and the other two instructors were very supportive and were willing to give me an extra hand. They knew I had pain...read full review
Just completed my M2 course this weekend at the Canadian Motorsport Park. I would highly recommend RTI to anyone looking to get on a bike, the lessons taught build upon each other and ensure you understand the fundamentals/feel confident and safe while you're riding.
I had barely any experience on a motorcycle prior to this weekend, our instructors Pablo, Warren and Matt were absolutely awesome. They were patient, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.
