Got what it takes?

There is a tremendous time commitment involved with becoming a VISC instructor. The instructor training program consists of approximately 100 hours of training. Once training is completed, our instructors typically teach 3 or 4 courses a year, with a requirement to teach a minimum of 2 courses. Instructors are expected to continue upgrading their teaching skills to include theory and traffic course instruction. All of our instructors at the Safety Council are passionately committed to both motorcycling and safe riding.
