Operating a motorcycle, scooter or three-wheeled motorcycle requires a unique set of skills separate from other vehicles. Not only is the physical operation and handling unique, there are also important differences in the way you need to pay attention to surrounding traffic.
We highly recommend that anyone wanting to obtain their motorcycle license carefully read about SGI's Motorcycle Graduated License Program. The written motorcycle learner exams can be taken before or after the basic motorcycle safety training. Our 20-hour Basic Rider Training blended learning program combines online learning and on-bike/hands-on practical training to assist new riders in developing the techniques and skills necessary for the safe operation of a motorcycle, scooter or three-wheeled motorcycle. Each session is led by a team of highly skilled and passionate SGI-certified instructors who address topics such as how to deal with the hazards and risks motorcyclists face in traffic. The training consists of 4-hours of online learning that you complete the week prior to your course and two 8-hour days of practical exercises. Cost

The course will help you develop control skills and riding techniques adequate for the demands of urban traffic. It will allow you to become aware of your own limitations in skill, knowledge and physical abilities relative to the demands of motorcycling. The Basic Rider Training course will help you to develop an understanding of the hazards and problems which motorcyclists and scooter riders face and how to deal with them. Participants have access to a variety of motorcycles provided by the Saskatchewan Safety Council. The program is designed with the new rider in mind – no prior experience is necessary.
Training time involves both online and hands-on riding. Each lesson builds on the skills taught in the previous lesson. Students will be given a MOST (Motorcycle Operators Skill Test) and upon successful completion you will receive a certificate. |
