Each exercise in each session builds cumulatively on the skills and information from the preceding exercises and discussions. Therefore, each student must attend all classroom & riding sessions in their entirety and sequence.  Students may take the riding sessions on a scooter or motorcycle as they choose, but cannot change from one to the other after Exercise 1 has started .  Students who want to switch from motorcycle to scooter or vice versa after Exercise 1 has started will be required to self-drop, purchase a Standby Certificate, and have one opportunity to attend the course on a standby basis.  No refund or partial refund will be given.

Your weekend riding class may be split into two riding groups: a morning group and an afternoon group. You may request placement in either group but must stay in the same riding group both Saturday and Sunday. Riding sessions are 5 hours long.

If your Instructor determines that your skill level makes you unsafe and you pose a hazard to yourself or others in the class, you may be asked to leave the class early. This decision is in the sole discretion of the Instructor. If you are asked to leave there will be no refund, although you may re-register and try again. You may return on a stand-by basis (by purchasing a stand by certificate) OR you may pay an additional $175 dollars and you will get a guaranteed seat in a future class with openings.
