Motorcyclist Training Course: In-Person & Hyrbid

OVERVIEW 

The Motorcyclist Training Course (MTC) at Mt. San Antonio College is an approved California Motorcyclist Safety Program (CMSP) and training site authorized by Total Control Training, Inc. and the California Highway Patrol (CHP).  We offer both in-person and hybrid MTC’s for novice riders to the community. The in-person MTC is 6.5 hours of classroom instruction and 9.5 hours of range (on-cycle) instruction over two days. The hybrid MTC is 4-6 hours of online classroom instruction using the eRider platform (done at home on the computer) and 9.5 hours of range (on-cycle) instruction (takes place over two days).

Both course options provide fundamental street-riding skills and strategies, including but not limited to, mental aspects of riding, the physical aspects of riding, cornering strategies, machine controls, emergency breaking, and traffic interaction.
