Hay guys im looking for some advice. Im thinking of a new career and I like the idea of being a motorcycle instructor. Im sure there must be someone on here that is one or that knows one. I just want to know how I would go about doing it and what it’s like as a job?

Thanks

Hi Wacko30..

I'm a DSA CBT1D and RPMT Motorcycle Instructor..

It's a very rewarding job, but can be difficult to maintain as a single source of income. Not many bike instructors are employed and are usually contracted on a self-employed basis. Best thing you could do is find a couple of schools in your area and visit them. Many schools are keen to "Down-train" a new CBT Instructor if you can show some commitment. Beware of the schools that want big chunks of cash to train you.

Anything else I can help with, just ask..

Where about are you?

Iggy
