Teaching a motorcycle safety course is physically demanding. It requires long hours, walking several miles in the course of a day, bending and stooping to place cones, and sometimes the need to push inoperable motorcycles for distances up to ¼ mile. Hot and cold weather conditions can add to the strenuous conditions you will encounter while teaching the course.

Do you feel you are physically capable of performing this job? ❏ Yes ❏ No

To maintain certification, RiderCoaches are required to teach a minimum of three classes a year in the N.C. Community College System, and attend an annual update training session.

You will also be required to follow the MSF RiderCoach Rules of Professional Conduct.

You will also need to request, a copy of your driving record. In North Carolina, this can be done through the NC DMV website. Dependent upon the state of residence and situation, it may take several weeks to obtain the record. Don’t delay the submission of your RiderCoach application while you wait for the driving record. You can send the driving record at a later date or bring it to the first night of your class. You will be required to submit a driving record every two years coinciding with your MSF recertification.

Do you agree to these conditions? ❏ Yes ❏ No

If you are not currently certified in CPR, you must obtain this certification prior to teaching your first class.

I certify that I have read and understand the requirements to become a RiderCoach in North Carolina and that the information contained herein is true and correct and that I have not omitted any relevant information. I understand and agree that falsification of any information provided herein, or the omission of any relevant information, will result in immediate revocation of my North Carolina RiderCoach Certification.
