Registration FAQs
Do I need a motorcycle learners licence?
Yes. Students must either have a valid BC motorcycle learners licence or already possess a Class 6/8 licence by the first day of your course. VISC cannot let students ride if they do posess valid licensing - NO EXCEPTIONS. Licences are checked each day before riding.
Can I pay the course fees on the first day of the course?
No. Full payment is required to secure your selected course(s) and complete your registration. If payment hasn’t been received, then we cannot hold your spot in a course and it may be taken by other student.
Do I need to have a motorcycle learner’s licence before I register?
No, but it is required in order for you to participate in our Novice/Traffic Skills Courses. We also recommend that you do not leave taking your learners licence knowledge test until the last minute as there is now a 7 day waiting period if you are unsuccessful. If you do not have your learners licence prior to the start of your course, please consult our Cancellation & Transfer policies.
Is there a wait list for courses that are full?
Yes. We do keep a wait list for all of our courses, but we highly recommend that you still register for an available course while on a wait list as courses can fill up quickly.
Can I get a refund if I have to drop out of a course once it’s started?
No. Simply put, you are taking up a ‘spot’ in a course. Once the course has started VISC does not offer refunds as we cannot place a new/waitlisted student into a course after it has already begun.
Example: Student completes Day 1 of Novice but has to drop out. We cannot now take a new student who has not yet undergone Day 1 training and put them into your spot on Day 2.
We do understand that sometimes “life happens” and we run into unforeseeable situations. We will do our best to work with students to find options that will allow them to complete their training either by private sessions* or transferring* to another course.
