Tecnic Gatineau Est

What to ask a motorcycle training school

• Do you provide the motorcycle and helmet for the course, or do I bring my own? Many beginner courses supply a small bike; most expect your own gloves, boots over the ankle, and a long-sleeved jacket.
• Does finishing the course count toward my motorcycle licence, or shorten the wait for the next stage, and what do I take to the licensing office afterward? The rules differ by province, so ask the school rather than a forum.
• How big are the classes, and how many coaches are on the range? Fewer riders per coach means more time riding and less time waiting.
• What happens if it rains, or if I do not pass the riding part? Ask about rescheduling and retake fees before you pay.
• Do you run courses beyond the beginner class, such as an experienced rider or advanced skills course? A refresher after a long break is worth the day.
