Motorcycle Training Program
Safety Services New Brunswick (formerly the NB Safety Council Inc.) is pleased to deliver Canada's only Motorcycle Training Program - 'Gearing Up'' to riders requesting this training throughout New Brunswick. This course is designed for the new or experienced rider.
The 20 hour program is delivered by a team of Canada Safety Council certified instructors. Courses are available at a number of established sites in the Province and is available in both official languages.
This course includes a 3 hour theory session and 17 hours of practical training using bikes supplied by the Council.
Successful candidates will be given the opportunity to test for their provincial 'D' license endorsement. For those interested in obtaining their 'A' endorsement (bikes 550cc and larger), the student can either provide their own motorcycle for the license test, or, in most locations, there is a bike available to rent. This is not part of the course and the NB Safety Council does not accept any liability as to the condition of or coverage provided by the provider of this "A" bike.
Topics covered in 'Gearing Up' course are:
- Motorcycle Riders Responsibilities
- Physical Requirements
- Mental Requirements
- The Best Defense is a Good Offence
- Traction 101
To be successful candidates must pass a written test and a practical riding test. A certificate will be presented upon sucessful completion
COST $450
Please Note: due to increased operating costs, the motorcycle program registration fee will be increasing to $475 effective February 7th, 2012.
