The Virginia Rider Training Program

is looking for a few good motorcyclists to train other Virginians to be skilled and safe motorcyclists. Requirements:

  • Above average riding skills
  • Excellent communication skills
  • A strong desire to share your experience and safe riding skills with other beginning and experienced riders.

The Virginia Rider Training Program offers classes in conjunction with the Virginia Community College System to beginning and experienced riders throughout Virginia. Skills learned in these classes help riders prevent accidents - making the road safer for everyone. But we need help from the experts.

Interested?

The Department of Motor Vehicles organizes instructor preparation workshops throughout the state for riders interested in becoming certified Motorcycle Safety Foundation instructors. Each workshop is offered on three consecutive weekends. Courses are taught by chief instructors certified by the Motorcycle Safety Foundation.

It's not easy.

The workshop is an intensive 50 hour program which covers every aspect of safe motorcycling from proper riding gear and motorcycle preparation to advanced emergency riding maneuvers. Instructor candidates must attend the entire workshop and should plan on spending time on outside study. At the end of the course, you'll teach a class of novice riders under the supervision of a chief instructor.
