"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"

"The instructors were excellent and really helpful in explaining the training, showing examples and then having the patience to teach you the practical application. The course was well organized and the rental bikes were brand new. Highly recommended."

"A highly recommended, informative and thorough, course that covers all the basics, taught by extremely professional instructors and should be mandatory for any beginning rider. In attendance were riders of all levels of experience ranging from those who had never been on a bike to those who had ridden for years, but wanted to get back to the essentials. Also very fun, and it includes the driven test so you don’t have to take that part at the DMV once you’ve graduated."

"Truly my "ride or die" cycling course. From the moment I signed up for the beginner's course at Pacific Motorcycle Training, I was met with professionalism and enthusiasm. The quality of the instruction I received was outstanding; my instructor demonstrated extensive knowledge and a passion for riding that was truly infectious. Each lesson was clear, concise, and built confidence as well as skill. I was impressed by the meticulous attention to safety and the way the instructors emphasized its importance throughout the training..."

"I highly recommend this class to any and all riders! I'm a repeat customer (ARC Lvl. 1 & 2) and I am blown away by the curriculum, and even more importantly, the instructors. Ofir and Collen are both amazing! I have ridden motorcycles for over 11 years and have a ton of miles my belt. Even so, I have learned so much from each and every class. I plan to keep practicing and will be back soon!"

"Definitely would recommend this to anyone beginners! I'm genuinely surprised on how much I was able to learn in the two days I attended the training! Dylan and Chris I believe was his name were really patient with me and wouldn't ever show signs of frustration or stress when I would make mistakes. Definitely will consider their intermediate course."

"Great course that taught me the necessary skills while having some fun. They have a variety of bikes to learn on and the instructors Chris and Dillon were real cool overall great experience with the only one real downside being there can be a few too many people for the course I felt. 🤙"
