"The Beginner course is great! A lot of good safety and basic motorcycle operating procedures covered in the theory classes. PMT provides bikes for people who don't own one yet to practice with. The instructors on the course are very helpful and provide continuous feedback to correct riding posture and other nuances. I would definitely recommend taking this course for people who aren't comfortable or used to riding a motorcycle."

"Tifa, Q, and Tony were fantastic coaches with clear communication and instructions. All of the instructors had great energy and focus to help and teach. It was an excellent beginner’s course with the CMSP certification (I passed the course and received the waiver in less than a week). I'll look to take intermediate and advanced rider courses in the future after some continued practice and skills refinement. Thank you for the training, and I highly recommend PMT to all new riders..."

"Erin, Joe and Evie are incredible instructors, super friendly, funny and they have tons of patience. Even someone who has been riding for years can learn a new trick or technique. No one is perfect, and for the beginners, there is no better class. Thank you PMT and team!"

"When I heard that these guys were opening a Sacramento location, I got three friends signed up who've been gearing up to take a training course on the east side. I wasn't surprised that they enjoyed their experience as much as I did. I would recommend Pacific Motorcycle Training to anyone looking to learn from scratch or just to keep your skills fresh. Very professional, knowledgeable and they keep it fun!"

"I really enjoyed my CMSP beginners course in San Bruno. The instructors give good advice, are enthusiastic, and are encouraging. I still have a ton to learn but I feel more confident that I have a good start after taking the course. Thanks Patrick, Q, and Kieran! You guys did a great job."

"I have completed my Advance Level 1 and Level 2 training with them. Professional instructors, good class size. Great feedback and immense progress during the day. Livermore is a convenient location. Appreciated the water and snacks provided. I will go back to attend more training, I feel so much safer on the road having completed their courses!"
