The “Gearing Up” Motorcycle Training Program is designed for the “new” or “novice” rider and is instructed by certified motorcycle instructors. The course includes both a theory component and a practical riding component. Candidates are presented with a certificate upon successful completion of a written test and a practical riding test for the course. The course is offered at numerous sites throughout the province and at a site in Prince Edward Island, with all effort made to provide bilingual instruction.
The course is designed for group training with a student to instructor ratio in accordance with the guidelines of the program regulations.
