"PMT class was an amazing experience, much better curriculum and instructors than I’ve found through any of the other many classes I’ve taken. Registration was simple. Instructors delivered materials efficiently and in pretty simple terms. Thanks, guys! I’ll come back to you guys for sure when I decide on to move to intermediate and advanced classes. Highly recommend"

"My experience was great with Pacific Motorcycle Training in Woodland, on the Pioneer High School campus. Thomas and Steve were the instructors and they were very knowledgeable, supportive and fostered an overall nonjudgmental environment that was conducive to learning. I had never ridden a motorcycle in my life and by the end of the course I had a lot of the foundational skills down. I would recommend this course to anyone. And extra shout out to Thomas and Steve!"

"10/10 - I HIGHLY recommend them. This group is incredibly knowledgeable, and care deeply about the training they provide. I cannot recommend this organization any more highly. Erin(1), Erin(2), Steve, and Dillon were all PHENOMENAL instructors!!"

"The class was very informative and well put together. The teachers were awesome, (there's always 2) and this was my 2nd time taking a M1 safety class to get my M1 license after not riding for 3 years.. and needed to renew my M1 lic. It made a lot of sense to take the course again just in case I'd forgotten important safety tips, and I'm VERY glad I retook the course. I didn't realize I'd accumulated a few bad habits over the years that made me not as safe of a rider..."

"The best motorcycle school with the very best instructors - relaxed, friendly, patient, and very supportive. When you do something right, they encourage you to keep riding well,. When you do something wrong, they gently point you in the right direction. In my class we had total beginners and still everybody passed because the instructors were so good. THANK YOU guys!"
- Natasha N, June 2025
"I took a beginner’s course just two days ago in this blistering heat, but with Evie, Mark and Zac instructing not just me, but a bunch of my classmates was a fun experience. We were given plenty of water, in-depth guidance and critical feedback after the classes were done. I will definitely come back for the intermediate course in the future."
- Anish Ansari, August 2025
"Everyone was so kind and supportive, they never made me feel like I was dumb for not understanding something and made sure to explain everything clearly and in ways that were easy to understand. They obviously care about actually teaching people how to ride, not just pass the course or the test. I absolutely will be taking their intermediate and advanced courses once I have more experience riding, and am excited to learn more from them. Super knowledgeable and incredibly helpful..."
