Highly recommend!
Got my M2 with RTI and the experience was great. Very professional staff, walking us through everything we need to know and taking it very seriously.
Warren is an amazing instructor, able to simultaneously inspire riders and prepare them for the many dangers on the road.

I recently attended the Rider Training Institute in Oakville to get my M2 license. I was trained by John, Ed, Ibrahim, and Warren Rees, with Warren as the main instructor. All the instructors were supportive and helpful throughout the course.

However, I encountered an issue with the Honda CBR125 (bike number 193) I used, which had difficulties with gear changes. Despite my experience with motorcycles and manual cars, I struggled with the timing for gear changes. The instructors advised me to keep my foot under the pedal for 2 seconds to shift gears, but despite following this advice, I received feedback that I was riding slow due to not changing gears on time. Unfortunately, this timing issue led to my failing the test.It is worth noting that I never fell off a bike during the course.

I am attaching photo of the bike which I used for the test(Honda Cbr125) and the bike was I was not allowed to use (Yamaha).

My experience likely isn't like others due to severe intractable pain. I wasn't sure how much pain it would cause me over 18 hours!!. I had one month of practice prior to going due to an insurance company willing to insure 1 month prior to give practice but with the promise of passing the course and getting my M2, which I did. I recommend practicing prior to going if you can. I have a street bike, so I was used to riding already by watching a ton of videos and going every day.

Ottawa location was great. Not the best with names right now but Brittany and the other two instructors were very supportive and were willing to give me an extra hand. They knew I had pain and encouraged me a lot. I'm reading the 1 stars to see that their complaints only to quickly pass people through may simply be true due to high demand and only so many resources. Don't go to training with a bad attitude that you know everything or you likely won't pass. You can only get better by listening and doing and that's what creates a good rider. I felt the training was comprehensive.

Amazing experience! 1000x worth it!

Went from never riding a bike to feeling super confident and passing!
I attended the M2 course in Guelph, and the instructors were all so nice, welcoming, and reassuring while teaching new skills, and providing all the tips to make it better for me during practice exercises.

Really so glad for having Mark, Jonathan, Matt & Ibrahim! Couldn't have passed without their continuance patience, support and guidance. You truly feel like they are rooting for you, and that's a big confidence boost!

Highly recommended this course, it's so much fun, and they guys are awesome!

Happy riding all!

This half-day refresher course was exactly what I needed. Rider Training Institute does things a little differently, and that was also exactly what I needed, honing some of the skills I already had. Jen, our instructor, was awesome. No question. Small class, and all relevant skills were done, then stirred and repeated. Great stuff. So great, in fact, that I'm signing on for more courses (whether private training or something else).

See my past history, below, for more.

Past history. I had taken a lengthier refresher last fall, after not having been on a bike for many, many years. I obtained my M-class license a long time ago, so I wasn't after that. I had hoped to ride with my best friend in Crotia this past February, but it didn't happen. So ... back to another refresher because I wasn't confident enough.

I'd highly recommend this company for *your* training needs.

I'm a 5'1 young girl with absolutely no experience on a motorcycle. My family thought it was ridiculous that I even got my M1.

I took the M2 course with Stu and 3 other instructors in Mississauga and they were the sweetest and kindest teachers I could have gotten. I went from constantly stalling and terrified of touching the throttle, to gaining enough confidence and skill to pass the M2 exam in only 2 days.

Throughout the course, I was consistently assisted and corrected, and their smiles and reassurance encouraged me to keep practicing. After the course, Stu even offerred me some advice on what are the best bikes to purchase for my driving level, and what I can do to improve my driving and be safe. I don't think I could have done it without these amazing people and I definitely plan to return for my M safety course.

Thank you RTI for my warm and wonderful introduction into biking.

Very professional course!
Theory was very informative and interactive.
M course practical I had Marlon Pollock as my trainer. Extremely knowledgeable. Talented senior instructor. Has a unique ability of making the course fun but cautiously strict and serious. Highly recommend the RTI course

Just completed my M2 course this weekend at the Canadian Motorsport Park. I would highly recommend RTI to anyone looking to get on a bike, the lessons taught build upon each other and ensure you understand the fundamentals/feel confident and safe while you're riding.

I had barely any experience on a motorcycle prior to this weekend, our instructors Pablo, Warren and Matt were absolutely awesome. They were patient, enthusiastic and very knowledgeable.
