The first step is the theory and lecture module, typically held on Friday evening, where we get introduced, take care of the necessary administrative details, and begin exploring our new life as motorcyclists. We’ll discuss equipment requirements for the course and make recommendations for what you’ll need once you’re out on the road. In addition, there will be interactive discussions covering a wide range of topics — including different types of motorcycles, riding gear, basic maintenance, safety checks, controls, defensive riding techniques, and potential road hazards, to name a few.

The second through fifth modules, usually held on Saturday and Sunday, take place on the riding range, where a building-block approach to learning is used. You’ll start by mastering the proper technique for mounting the motorcycle, develop superior slow-speed control, and progress to riding at higher speeds. You’ll also learn about visual (eye) control, advanced steering techniques, stopping and swerving at speed, and cornering efficiently.

All of our exercises are designed to keep you moving with minimal downtime — in fact, you may log up to 50 km over the weekend while riding around the training range! We’ve secured the largest practice area in the region, featuring a variety of road-like elements. This layout allows for realistic speeds and spacing between riders, helping you develop the most practical and transferable on-road techniques.

We also offer a wide and ever-changing selection of Street, Standard, and Dual Sport motorcycles for you to ride over the weekend. This variety gives you a chance to discover which style you might enjoy most if you haven’t yet chosen your first motorcycle.

At Atlantic Moto Skills, we strive to create a fun and supportive environment where you can gain all the skills needed to ride confidently and safely. Everyone develops habits — our goal is to help you form good habits that will serve you well for years to come. Combined with your own commitment to ongoing learning and practice, these habits will go a long way toward keeping you safe on the road.

Successful completion of this course earns you a certificate that entitles you to take Service New Brunswick’s (SNB) written test. Passing the SNB test — along with a vision test — will result in a graduated motorcycle license. We’ll also help you prepare for the SNB written exam.

Note: Mid-week courses will also be available at select times this summer. More information about these sessions can be found in the FAQ section of our menu. You can also access details directly by clicking the “Book a Course” button below.
