Motorcycle Riding Courses for Experienced Riders

Pacific Motorcycle Training

We offer three different options for riders who want to become better and safer on the road.

For New Riders

Learn the basics of riding safely in a controlled environment and receive the certificate that may waive the DMV riding skill test. Our friendly basic riding course was designed for people with zero experience on a motorcycle. We provide motorcycles and helmets for you to learn with.

For Experienced Riders

Become a better—and safer—rider using your own motorcycle with our Intermediate Riding Clinic. Or take your cornering and crash-avoidance skills to the highest level with our Advanced Riding Clinics, taught only by the best certified instructors in the Bay Area!

"The instructors, Q, Steve, and Evie were very knowledgeable. They explained things well and kept everything on time. They were able to identify when I needed special instructions and pulled me out to coach me on proper techniques and gave me specific information that helped me improve."

"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."

"The basic riding portion of the course was great for a beginner like me. Had never ridden a motorcycle before in my life, but was taught the foundational skills necessary to safely ride. Evie was a wonderful instructor. Highly recommend."

"The instructors are very friendly and patient with riders who are typically new to riding. Ensuring that they are pausing to answer questions and allowing time for new riders to catch up with those that might have some experience. They are constantly providing feedback to ensure that riders are correcting behavior to be successful with the class. I would highly recommend these guys for those who are looking to sign up for some lessons!"

"I came to the class very nervous and very worried because I'm an anxiety prone person when it comes to something that I know there's a test for afterwards. The instructors, Steve and Wyatt, were able to calm my nerves with their ability to clearly state and show through live demonstrations what was needed to be done. By the end of the course, I felt very confident that I learned enough to be able to ride a motorcycle in practice sessions without much fear of getting into an accident..."

"Morning course 16-17 August 2025 Basic I had a fantastic experience with Pacific Motorcycle Training in Livermore! Everything was well-organized from start to finish. The instructors (Wyatt, Joe, the blonde female instructor — I can't remember her name (so sorry)) did a great job explaining every part of the course, and they were always available to answer any questions. They were encouraging and supportive throughout, which really helped build confidence, especially for beginners..."

"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..."
