Student Status Form

This is a PASS or FAIL Course:  To successfully meet the passing criteria for this program, the student must pass a written knowledge test and a riding skills evaluation.  After passing both tests, a Motorcycle Safety Foundation course completion card will be issued on the day of graduation.  Within  10 days after the course has been completed, a State of California DMV DL389 Certificate will be processed and mailed out to the student. 

WRITTEN KNOWLEDGE TEST:  This is a 50 question multiple choice test.  A score of 40 or better (80%) is needed in order to pass.  If you do not pass, you are given another opportunity to take the test on a different day.  Students have only two opportunities to pass the written test.  Students must use both opportunities within 90 days of the first class date.

RIDING SKILLS EVALUATION:  In order to pass this evaluation, students must score 20 or less.  Each person is given two opportunities to pass the riding skills evaluation.  You have two attempts within 90 days of your first class date.

IF STUDENT IS COUNSELED OUT or  NO SHOW POLICY:

If the student’s safety is a concern, the RiderCoach may have to counsel the student out of a riding session.  In this event, the student is given a second opportunity to repeat the riding session at no cost.  The student can come back to a riding session on a “Stand-By” basis. 

There are no guarantees for stand-by students.  It is on a first come, first served basis.  If the student cannot complete the course within the 90-day period, we apologize, but the student cannot continue the program and the registration fee is forfeited with no opportunity to re-schedule.

The student must attend all scheduled dates and times in the order for which s/he has registered.  In the event the student does not attend, is late, or is dressed inappropriately for the riding session, s/he is given a second opportunity to repeat the riding session on a different day on a “Stand-by” basis only.  If the student cannot complete the course within the 90-day period, we apologize, but the student’s registration fee will be forfeited with no opportunity to re-schedule.

There are no course refunds for any reason.

WEATHER:  If rain in the forecast, please plan on arriving on time to the range for your regularly scheduled course.  WE WILL CONTINUE TO RIDE unless the RiderCoach feels the conditions are unsafe to ride.  If the RiderCoach determines that the student environment is unsafe due to weather conditions, the class will be suspended and the students will be sent home.  WMA will contact the students to make arrangements for an alternate riding day.
