Counsel-Out Policy

COUNSEL-OUT POLICY

MSF Basic Rider Course
I have agreed to the counsel-out policy and if counseled-out for being unsafe, I will forfeit tuition and cannot reschedule.
  1. There is no guarantee that every student can operate a motorcycle and meet the course objectives in the allotted course time, even though it is a beginner course.
  2. Therefore, it is recommended, but not required, to prepare for the course by taking additional training such as a private lesson or Motorcycling 101.
  3. This additional training reduces the chance of being unsafe, counseled-out and forfeiting the tuition.
  4. If I am unsafe at any time, in accordance with the DMV guidelines, I will be counseled-out and must leave the course and forfeit tuition can cannot reschedule.
  5. English as a 2nd Language (ESL) student: it is strongly recommended to bring a translator. If counseled out due to a language barrier, tuition is forfeited and cannot reschedule.
  6. "Feedback from past students indicates that 99% of them are glad they took a private lesson before starting the course." -MSS Instructor and Site Manager, Ed McGarry.
